From the bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo comes a breathtaking love story about a woman unexpectedly forced to choose between the husband she has long thought dead and the fiancé who has finally brought her back to life.

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.

My first book of the genre

Not terrible. Not amazing. I'd have structured the story differently, but meh for me overall. I don't know if I'd recommend this as someone's first read into the genre, but it couldn't hurt either.

Deep. Moving

This book is amazing. Full of love and brilliant writing. It flowed like a river and does not disappoint. Narrator does a beautiful job. Loved it!!!

Love Loss and Redeeming Love

Kept me interested and finished listening very quickly. Did not dwell too long on the depressing loss.

Beautiful story

I truly loved this book. I don’t want to give too much away but it ended exactly how I hoped it would!!

I really loved this book.

I liked this take on love. Not your run of the mill happy ending, but a happy ending nonetheless.
