I don't normally read romance but I'm so glad I picked this one up! The story was good, it'll make you cry for sure and the plot twist was completely unexpected for me! I would definitely read another book from this author.

The beginning was a bit of a slow start. I think the dual timelines helped move the story along and added depth to the present day characters. I love a book that earns some tears and this one definitely did:-)

4 stars//
i was originally going to rate this 3 stars, just because it dragged on for too long and georgia was unlikable in my opinion. however, that ending moved me to tears so it deserved an extra star. the writing is incredible in this book, and the messages shared through scarlett's story were so heartfelt and thoughtful. i also really liked the parallels between georgia's character and scarlett's. though her relationship with noah fell flat to me, georgia's character development was enjoyable, and noah gets a few points bc he was emotionally mature (probably bc he's an author). the concept of a book within a book was also really cool and fun to read. in the beginning, i was more interested in georgia and noah's relationship, but as the story went on, scarlett and jameson took the spotlight. they truly are the twin flames we wish we could find in real life. all in all, i liked this book. did i LOVE it? not really. it did leave an impression on me though and i'd definitely recommend it to historical romance enthusiasts as well as those of you who enjoy a good gut wrenching ending. <3

Such a shame this book was so underwhelming bc the plot twist was really, really nice.
I'm not sure I've read the same book as everyone else. I was ready to love this book, to give it five stars, i was ready for it to change my life but it was... not what people said it was gonna be.
First of all, I didn't like the romance between Georgia and Noah. The first 200 pages were just them not knowing each other and thinking, in each other's pov, that the other is hot and sexy and that they have a nice ass. We got it the first ten times really there was no need to comment on the other's body SO MANY TIMES. Even in the end, both their characters and the relationship felt underdeveloped and underwhelming and i did not root for them at all.
I also thought the book dragged way too much. I think there's a good 100 pages that could've been deleted from the book. The writing also felt odd, like sometimes you could see this very beautiful prose and suddenly you switch to Noah's pov describing Georgia's body in a very creepy and almost disgusting way.
Jameson and Scarlett were very cute, I did like their romance a lot more than Georgia and Noah though i thought it went a bit too fast, but their story overall is the only thing that kept me reading.
Now, the ending... The plot twist was mind blowing. It left me staring at the words and reading them again and again and gave me chills.
I just wish the whole book hadn't been so infuriating, boring and just overall bad and underwhelming.
