I really enjoyed this audiobook! I was absolutely heartbroken for Sam and was mad at him for ending things with Emma. I wished we had gotten more time with them as a couple.

I also hated how pushy and controlling Jesse was. The way he spoke to Emma was cringy most of the time. I also hated how his words and actions would sway Emma’s thoughts and emotions.

So, I guess I hated Emma too. One word and she flips. Another word and she flops. In her defence, she was faced with an undeniably impossible situation with no pain free solution.

All in all, I was very happy with how it ended and now I can’t wait to watch the movie and cheer for Simu Liu as Sam.

Taylor Jenkins Reid you have done it again. A wonderful book about loss and love and building yourself back up again after loss. I cannot recommend this book enough to people if you want a great read that really makes you think about love.

Emma is a teenager when she meets Jesse and they quickly fall in love and years later get married. However, shortly after they are married for a year, Jesse takes a work trip and is presumed dead when his plane crashes at sea. Emma now has to live ugh grief and building her life back together after it's been torn apart. She meets Sam, a childhood friend and they fall in love. But when Jesse comes back, Emma is forced to confront her new reality and decide whether her love for Jesse is the same as her love for Sam.

The book does a wonderful job at making the reader think about love, the ends of relationships, grief and how all of those things exist at the same time for a period of time. Aside from the love story (and the team Jesse vs. team Sam ala Edward vs. Jacob I grew up with), it is a fun and interesting read ABOUT love. luv u taylor <3
