I am not sure what I just read. Both of these main characters are assholes. One is selfish & thoughtless and the other is selfish & mean.
The twist was weird. I am not going to read the second book because I don’t care what happens to these two.

This book was a mix between hilarious and angsty and I lovedddd it! Usually I’m a flashback’s biggest hater, but I loved learning about these two as they were children! This book was truly so entertaining and I never wanted to stop listening… oh and those narrators?? AMAZING

This review of the audiobook. I received this from Valentine PR in exchange for my honest opinion.
Colton and Josie grew up across the street from one another. They spent every waking hour together. As they got older, it evolved into more, even when they were forbidden from being more than friends. A few weeks before high school graduation, Colton breaks Josie’s heart.
Now 17 years later they’re back in each other’s lives, professionally at least at first. Colton, is now Detective Colton Mosley, and Josie is the medical examiner. Colton is also, a single dad now 🥵 who doesn’t love a hot single dad!
While they’re investigating a murder, things started to speed up, and a sets off a string of events, that leaves them both scratching their heads. This story had me binge listening because I was so sucked into the plot!
I absolutely love romantic suspense, it’s the best of two worlds! Be prepared for a cliffhanger…. It’s not one I saw coming 🤯 I love who strong, Josie is as a fmc!

- Friends to lovers

Ok, so I've been meaning to start reading Jewel E Ann's books for a while. Do I have several of her books on my Kindle? Yes. Have I read them yet? No. So, I have Pieces of Life in my hot little hand today, and I am off work for labor day, so let's do this! Several hours later, I finished the book. Yep read it in one sitting it was that good. I had all the emotions as I read. I laughed out loud (Jewel, your voices of young Colten and Josie were hilarious), I teared up, I gasped, I growled, and I loved every second of it. The dual POVs made the book, especially the later part when we're trying to grasp what Josie is going through. I swear, though, just when I think things are about to settle down, well, ha, not so fast there. Here's a plot twist for you. Like that? Here are some more. Oh, and wait, just for cliffhanger purposes, I'm going to throw this in as the last line! OHMIGOODNESS!!! I just kind of sat there stunned, wishing for the next book. I know it's coming soon, but ugh.
All I can tell you is this book is dynamite and filled with all that makes angst in a book worth it. It's not too angsty, but it's enough that you get invested in the characters' lives and walk through their story with them. I was rooting for Colten from the beginning, and he had work to do. But Josie is the kind of character I will remember for a while. So, needless to say, I need the next book. NOW!

Josie and Colten grew up together as neighbors, best friends, and sometimes more. But when Colten broke Josie’s heart after graduation, she swore she’d hate him forever.
Seventeen years later, Colten is suddenly back in Josie’s life. She is now a talented medical examiner, while he is a homicide detective in the same city. Just when things are starting to look up for the two of them, Josie has a near death experience, and then the visions begin.
There’s so much to love about this story. Alternating between Josie and Colten’s perspectives, from childhood memories to present day, their childhood friends to enemies to lovers is a wonderful story all on its own. Their relationship is long and complicated, but they are so perfect for each other. But then you add in the extra element of the unexplainable nightmares and visions, and things start to get a little creepy too! Romance and thrillers are my favorite two genres, but it is so hard to find an author who can combine the two so masterfully!
The only negative of this book is that it ends in a suspenseful cliffhanger and I have to wait for the next one to come out - I’m so glad it’s only a couple of weeks!
Pieces of Life releases on September 13th, and the sequel Memories of a Life releases September 27th! Special thanks to Valentine PR and Jewel E Ann for sharing an ARC with me in exchange for my honest review!

This grabbed me and didn’t let go! Colten broke Josie’s heart when they were younger and now it’s been 17 years they’ve been apart. Worlds collide again and angst ensues. Absolutely recommend this book and all of Jewel E. Ann’s works. You can’t go wrong!
