THIS is how you write the most perfect book of all time, oh my god... I was completely engrossed, hanging onto every word, on the edge of my seat desperate to see how the hell this is resolved. I could've finished it in 48 hours if bed times and responsibilities didn't exist. Perfection

I've been getting around to more of my "author completionism" reads this year. I read Maybe in another life near when it was released, but hadn't yet dipped into the rest of TJR's romance backlist until now. This one is, well, a bit too messy for me.
I'd say the main character is morally pretty grey, but this doesn't seem to be acknowledged with as much weight as I think it deserves.She has a lot of sex with her ex(?)-husband, and that isn't really discussed as like, a pain point that might possibly interfere with her current relationship. On the whole, I can tell it's less sophisticated writing than the author's newer work, and I think it's really interesting to compare her earlier writing in a very different genre to the (quite frankly) masterpieces she's been putting out more recently.

The worst kind of love triangle.. your long lost husband and your new fiancé. Emma truly loves both of them but she has to pick not only who she wants to be with but who she wants to be.
