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.

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.

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!!!

Loved the writing

The writing was great. Hated to see the book end. I was happy with the outcome but the road to the final outcome had a couple things/actions I didn’t like.

Beautifully written story

Not your average love story. I like that it was relatable and heartfelt. For anyone suffering with loss this can be extremely helpful, but it was beautifully written and I 10 out of 10. Loved it. Sad when it was over.

Heartbreakingly beautiful

This story sucked me right in!.. when one of loves biggest questions is confronted, the story unfolds in such a heartbreaking and beautiful way. The narration is perfection.

Felt rushed

I think the overall idea was good and it started good.It felt rushed mid way through for me personally.

Great book Great Narration

I absolutely loved this book! The narrator was awesome and the story went in a different direction than I assumed it would. Definitely recommend this book!

It was good, but...

I don't feel like this was the author's best work. I've eagerly read all of her books and this was my least favorite. The story is bittersweet, but it seems more like a Lifetime movie than a true heartfelt love story.
