Title: What Comes Next

My life is perfectly fine.

Alex has pretended this for years—despite an emotionally absent father, a best friend drifting away, and a floundering dog-training business. At least Alex has her sister, Meredith, a driven polar opposite. But both their lives are upended when their estranged mother dies of a genetic condition that the sisters have a fifty-fifty chance at inheriting. For Alex, a world without her mother is uncomfortable. But a world without Meredith is unthinkable.

Alex suggests a pact to which Meredith tentatively agrees: In three months they’ll get tested. Until then they go after everything they’ve ever wanted. Alex is finally stepping out of her comfort zone and opening herself up to new relationships. Or maybe reconnecting with an old one. Nathan, a boy who once broke her heart, needs a trainer for his mixed-breed rescue. Alex can’t resist.

As sparks rekindle, and time passes much too quickly, Alex discovers more about herself, her sister, and her mother than she ever imagined. And that everything in life—especially happiness—comes with a risk worth taking.

Review for What Comes Next

This emotionally charged story involves two sisters coping with their estranged mother’s death and the shocking news that she had Huntington’s Disease. Suddenly, Alex and Meredith have to decide whether to face their own genetic futures—and figure out what it means to move forward.

The book is driven by Alex’s inner journey, presented in a thoughtful, steady rhythm that matches the story’s emotional weight. Forbes has done an outstanding job sharing an overwhelming topic with grace. I have the utmost respect for the resilience and determination it takes to take a chance and find hope after heartbreak. What Comes Next is well worth the read, especially to remind us to never take tomorrow for granted.
