When my grandmother found out she didn’t have long to live, she embarked on a crazy trip—jumping out of airplanes and scuba diving with sharks.
After I repeatedly voiced my concern, Gram blocked me—her own grandson—on text and social media, leaving me only her travel companion Eleanor’s number.
Eleanor started sending me pictures of Gram’s adventures. At first she seemed nice, but when I attempted to persuade her to talk some sense into her friend, she told me where I could stick my advice. After that, photos arrived with snarky comments, and Eleanor and I got into it on more than one occasion.
When I heard Gram’s upcoming plans were more dangerous than ever, I hopped on a plane.
Since I arrived late, I headed to the bar for a drink, figuring I’d surprise her in the morning.
To my delight, I met a gorgeous woman looking for a no-strings-attached night. Nora was just what I needed. She invited me back to her room, telling me to give her a ten-minute head start. But when I went to pay her bar tab, I realized how much she’d had to drink. As much as I wanted to ignore it, I couldn’t. So I stood Nora up.
I knew she’d be pissed, but I also knew I’d never see her again.
Except never came a little early. Namely, the next morning when I went to meet my grandmother and her evil-spinster friend. Because old Eleanor turned out to be young Nora from last night. And if I thought the woman disliked me before, that was nothing compared to how ticked-off she was now. Or how unhappy she was going to be that their party of two was about to become a party of three.

Wow! Something Unexpected was definitely an Unexpected story and one of my absolute favourite reads of this year!
This book was brilliant and gave me so many feels. Im really not sure how my review will do this book justice!
Beck, his grandma, his brother and Nora are characters that have embedded themselves in my heart. Grandma Louise an an absolute hoot. However the underlying sadness in this story, coupled with the live life to the fullest moments, made me think, wonder and hope for all involved.
Ms Keeland has outdone herself in writing this masterpiece. Absolutely wonderful and a definite must read!
What a beautiful sincere book.
Unputdownable, I read this book slowly so I could absorb every word.
Everything about this book is brilliant, the main characters Nora and Beck went directly to my heart.
Grandmother Louise is perfect.
This is a book never to forget it has everything, banter, Oh! yes, there is marvellous banter!
This book pulls at the heartstrings Vi Keeland gives you all the feels and so much more.
Highly recommended.....
Now to enjoy the audiobook...
