Critic Reviews

"The Pieces of You and Me is an enthralling love story that asks the question - can true love stand not just the test of time but the challenges we face along the way? Jess and Rupert are both fabulous and flawed and their story feels as real to me as the people I see every day. A down to earth and wonderfully uplifting story of love and second chances." (Lauren North)

"Once again Rachel Burton writes a beautifully moving, poignant and wistful romance." (Victoria Cooke)

"A beautiful story of second-chance love between two perfectly imperfect characters. Rachel writes with such emotional honesty, it leaves me lost for words." (Sarah Bennett)

Dragging to the End

A depressing and frustrating read. However, despite that, I stayed with it to the end. It's not terribly well written and the reader was annoying to the extreme. She went from whispering to speaking above a normal tone. I almost returned the book due to the unevenness of the performance. But on the 3rd device I tried, I was able to listen without having my hand on the volume control.

The book isn't as negative as it sounds. There's genuine love between the main characters and they grow together as adults. Their love is so overpowering that they are willing to keep changing to make their relationship work. With all the annoyances, it's still an entertaining read.

Beautiful and touching

A delightful story which guides you gently through the lives of a couple destined to be together, who face chronic illness, separation, jealousy and miscommunication along the path to happiness. Rachel Burton understands how to write a book that hugs you.

This is Rachel's best yet!

Absolutely loved this story! I think this might be Rachel's best one yet! I loved the characters, the setting and I felt like the subject matter was tackled very sensitively. But what else would you expect from Rachel. Can't wait for the next one!
