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.
I just finished and absolutely loved this love triangle. I'm dying to know how everyone feels about who Emma ends up with, and who you would have chosen if you were in her shoes? It's such a complex situation
03.75/5
I would’ve given it a 4 if she didn’t do what she did at the end in the cabin…
0An insane love triangle with (mostly) lovable characters. Half star off for what felt like a miscommunication issue that really bothered me, but other than that this book was heartfelt and thought provoking. I still don't know if I'm happy with who Emma ended up with because I love both the MMCs! TJR does it again
03.7 stars *** I’m giving it this rating because the beginning up until Emma and Jesse were adults, I just couldn’t get through. I found it hard to follow and found it really cringy ?? But then something changed and the storytelling that I love so much from TJR finally came through. The story itself made my heart swell and break (i also cried). I rooted for Sam. For a love that she found after, a love that she was able to be her true authentic self in. As much I liked Jesse too and their love, I just felt like their love was one of the past and people change and love changes and it’s okay to close chapters. This book showed that it is okay to have more than one true love. For me, I can’t really say that I’ve had more than one. I know I’ve found my one true love with the person I’m with today. And it’s beautiful. And her name is also Sam
