A slow start for me with this one but by the end I was sobbing and so madly in love with this story and the characters. The plot twist was 🤌 chefs kiss.

I honestly love how this book had two great love story's in it I honestly never saw the ending coming I wish that in real life Jameson would've survived and looked for her and had a different ending but overall it was such an emotional book I loved it

This book was soul crushing, empty my tissue box tear-jerking and contains a love story that felt more real than anything else. Jameson and Scarlett’s story was powerful and touched my heart so much. Along with their love story, we also got an amazing story of sisterly love between Scarlett and Constance woven in that was just as poignant as the romantic one. Set during WWII, Scarlett and Jameson fall in love with each other and find joy together. Both loving and getting to feel the once in a generation, lightning in a bottle love that I think everyone looks for, but few find. Their story makes this whole book shine. The added bonus of seeing the love and bond between Scarlett and Constance as two sisters who are nearly inseparable and who both give each their best, weaves through and ultimately shines bright. 

The ending of Scarlett and Jameson’s story was beautifully done, both the real life one, and the one that is written for them. 

Easily a 5 * read except for the second love story that is told. The one between Georgia and Noah pales in comparison, it feels rushed and put in as a filler that is too convenient. Every time I had to read about them I rushed and wanted to get to Scarlett and Jameson. It’s probably bad, but even the story of (BIG SPOILER DONT CLICK UNLESS YOU READ THE HOOK)

Constance and Brian, as briefly mentioned as it was, I think it was better.

To love like what Scarlett found, that’s what I want to find too.

I did not expect to love this story as much as I did. Romance novels are not normally the ones with a twist so surprising that you actually need to put the book down and walk away for a minute, but that's exactly what Rebecca does here.

The past and present are weaved together brilliantly all throughout this story and when you do finally see the big reveal, you realize that the breadcrumbs have been there all along.

Noah and Georgia. Scarlett and Jameson. Constance and Edward. You'll fall in love with these characters over and over and over again. With each passing page and chapter you realize that life is complicated, but love? Love can change everything.
