Summary

In her twenties, Emma Blair marries her high school sweetheart, Jesse。 They build a life for themselves, far away from the expectations of their parents and the people of their hometown in Massachusetts。 They travel the world together, living life to the fullest and seizing every opportunity for adventure。

On their first wedding anniversary, Jesse is on a helicopter over the Pacific when it goes missing。 Just like that, Jesse is gone forever。

Emma quits her job and moves home in an effort to put her life back together。 Years later, now in her thirties, Emma runs into an old friend, Sam, and finds herself falling in love again。 When Emma and Sam get engaged, it feels like Emma’s second chance at happiness。

That is, until Jesse is found。 He’s alive, and he’s been trying all these years to come home to her。 With a husband and a fiancé, Emma has to now figure out who she is and what she wants, while trying to protect the ones she loves。

Who is her one true love? What does it mean to love truly?

Emma knows she has to listen to her heart。 She’s just not sure what it’s saying。

“Don’t ever let anyone tell you the most romantic part of love is the beginning。 The most romantic part is when you know it has to end” (pg 269) 4。5 stars。 Reid is one of my favorite authors when it comes to her way of expressing love and emotions。

It starts very well, with the reemergence of her missing presumed dead husband, just as she is settling into her new life with Sam。 It then gets a bit chick-lit and I had expected more #teamsam or #teamjesse angst and fighting or even a thriller if one turned angry。 It ends well, and predictably…。 But not her best

Rose Balicki

once again have a crush on a fictional male character written by a woman

Kay

A great read。 Loved the characters。

I could not put this down, and I even teared up a few times。 These characters were in an impossible situation and it hurt my heart。 I will say that I didn't totally buy into Emma。 I did not judge any of her choices, because how could you ever make the choices she had to make, but I did not always believe them。 I don't want to say anything that might be spoiler-ish, but I needed a bit more from her emotionally。 She sometimes felt like she was just a paint by numbers characters who needed to do X, I could not put this down, and I even teared up a few times。 These characters were in an impossible situation and it hurt my heart。 I will say that I didn't totally buy into Emma。 I did not judge any of her choices, because how could you ever make the choices she had to make, but I did not always believe them。 I don't want to say anything that might be spoiler-ish, but I needed a bit more from her emotionally。 She sometimes felt like she was just a paint by numbers characters who needed to do X, Y, and Z to get us to the conclusion and message the book was trying convey。 I didn't discover Taylor Jenkins Reid until Seven Husbands, which is still my favorite of hers, but it is nice to rewind to a time before her books were all about famous Hollywood people。 I always know her books will say something that sticks with me, and that they will keep me turning the pages, so 3。5, rounded up。 。。。more

After falling in love with Taylor Jenkins Reid, I decided to try one of her earlier novels。 This one, while very well-written, was a bit too lovey dovey for me。 I may be cynical, but I just was getting tired of the overly gooey conversations and found myself saying “alright already! Do people even talk this way?!?!”But overall, the writing was good, it just wasn’t my cup of tea。 So three stars for me and I’ll look forward to her next one。

Maria

Such a creative storyline - classic Taylor Jenkins Read in my opinion。 I loved how she made us fall in love with both and made it hard to choose。 I so appreciate how she doesn’t make things black and white - the book is the grey, in some ways。 I think it told many stories in one and I really liked it。 I could SO see this being a movie。 The part that was so so sad to me was describing Emma in the weeks after Jesse disappeared, the grief。 Right in the heartstrings!

maryam :)

Finished this in one sitting and omg。 This book was extraordinary。 I stayed up to finish reading this because i couldn’t put it down。 I cried so much while reading this。

Anne

„Ich bin, wer ich bin, weil ich dich geliebt habe。“ Dieses Buch ist eine Reise, eine Achterbahnfahrt, ein Abenteuer。 Ich habe fast alles daran geliebt。 Nicht alle Entscheidungen der Protagonistin Emma sind mit meiner Sicht auf die Welt vereinbar, aber Taylor Jenkins Reed hat es geschafft, dass ich glücklich aus diesem emotional doch recht belastenden Buch herausgehe。 Ich werde Emma, Sam und Jesse vermissen。

Sabrina

I absolutely loved this book so much! This story made me so sad but so happy all at the same time。 I loved the ending so much。

Lauren Nadeau

i could not put this book down (clearly)!! it was fast-paced and kept me wanting to read and know who Emma ended up with!! i’ve come to the conclusion that you cannot go wrong with TJR。 i can’t wait to read malibu rising!!

Ushmi

Who do I love more?Eenie meenie miney mo🙄🙄🙄TOTALLY not my thing 🤣🤣

Angela

3 stars and nothing more。 Interesting love story。 Reminded me of the movie Castaway a little too much。 Really a cheesy love story and completely outrageous。 Not spectacular writing and didn’t hit me real hard at all。I also can’t imagine being in Emma’s shoes and having to choose。 Not sure I like how she handled things。

Dawn

Not often does a book bring on tears, this one did。 Such a great subject and so well written。 Great end as well。

Susan

Loved it。 A nice romance for summer listening。 I didn’t have to work hard to enjoy it like some things I read。 It went by so quickly。 The narrator did a great job。

OMG! If you thought The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo was good, oh emmmmm geeee, you HAVE to read this one!

Susie

The problem is that I loved Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones and I read those first, so this one just feels a little…vanilla now。 I liked the characters and it all made sense but it was a little predictable。 I’m maybe judging TJR a tad harshly for this one, but honestly, it’s really just higher praised for the other two books!

jas

i read this so quickly because the writing style is so easy to read。 i think this is the case with all of taylor jenkins reid’s books。this was written really well and had a great message about how you can love more than one person throughout your life but it doesn’t mean you loved the ones before any less。BUT。 i have realised finally that however well it’s written i really just don’t like love triangles。jealous trope, yes - i love it。 but love triangles i really just can’t stand。i really liked e i read this so quickly because the writing style is so easy to read。 i think this is the case with all of taylor jenkins reid’s books。this was written really well and had a great message about how you can love more than one person throughout your life but it doesn’t mean you loved the ones before any less。BUT。 i have realised finally that however well it’s written i really just don’t like love triangles。jealous trope, yes - i love it。 but love triangles i really just can’t stand。i really liked emma and sam (and i felt for jesse and what he went through during the years he had to live alone in the middle of nowhere)。but these sorta love triangle books really just aren’t for me。but anything else tjr releases i will read for sure。 。。。more

I really enjoyed it loved the characters and how maybe in a life time you can have more than one true love

sophie

(3。5) it didn’t impact me as much as tjr’s other works i’ve read, but it was so so sweet and enjoyable。 it gave me the same feeling i had from a lot of romance books i read when i was younger, so it was sort of nostalgic and comforting。

"É difícil amar depois de ter o coração partido。 É doloroso e nos força a sermos totalmente sinceros sobre quem somos。 Precisamos nos esforçar mais do que nunca para encontrar as palavras para expressar nossos sentimentos, porque eles não cabem mais em nenhuma medida pré-fabricada。"esse livro。 sei lá。 sempre ouvi que as histórias da taylor jenkins reid tratam de personagens reais com sentimentos tão reais que parece que você está vivendo ou revivendo determinadas situações。 depois de ler esse li "É difícil amar depois de ter o coração partido。 É doloroso e nos força a sermos totalmente sinceros sobre quem somos。 Precisamos nos esforçar mais do que nunca para encontrar as palavras para expressar nossos sentimentos, porque eles não cabem mais em nenhuma medida pré-fabricada。"esse livro。 sei lá。 sempre ouvi que as histórias da taylor jenkins reid tratam de personagens reais com sentimentos tão reais que parece que você está vivendo ou revivendo determinadas situações。 depois de ler esse livro, tenho certeza disso。 que baque。 tentei separar a citação que mais me marcou dentre todas e é isso。 ainda tô processando que terminei essa história linda。 5⭐ 。。。more

i loved this onerelated to the main character, and it explores love from different perspectives

Sam Bagaforo

3。5 ⭐️

Hannah

Just not my cup of tea。 Pretty Hallmark movie type。 But there was just enough there, I had to see how it wrapped up。

Elizabeth

The perfect beach read: light, easy to get into, predictable。 I flew through it。

Mallory Nelson

Loved this book, so many emotions!

laine r

i could not put this book down, it is a perfect showing of the wrong person at the right time, and i loved how tjr never had to assassinate the characters of each of the men to trick you into liking one。 although a seemingly unrealistic plot, the ending felt realistic, it made sense, and i thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, further cementing tjr as one of my favorite authors。

I listened on audio book and I could not stop listening! I love how TJR writes the characters so you get to know them and relate to them。 I appreciate that the book is not black and white and TJR gives life to the messiness and chaos that can be life (and our own journeys)。 A heartfelt love story that also has depth --it's not just a love story。 I love books that tell a good story and make me feel like I learned something or became a better person for reading it and this book did both!
