One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid

5.0

Spectacular. This book flew by and honestly I wished I could live in this world a little longer. The whole premise of having a husband disappear, find new love, and have your husband come back was so thought provoking. I loved Emma so much, I connected with her on such a deep level of finding herself and growing up. Each of the two loves was also very real. Taylor Jenkins Reid does characters like no other author. Everyone in this book felt REAL and just made me feel so cozy.

Jessie and Emma’s farewell was bittersweet but needed. They both needed to grow up and realize the true love they had was still real, even though it didn’t last forever. Sam was perfect and I love him in every way. Emma’s growth was so genuine, how she had dreams, pursued them, and then felt at place home with her family and her bookstore (and how she loved reading at the end!) The lines that Jesse and Emma say to each other at the end, “I am who I am because I loved you once” was so perfect and representative of the novel.

TJR does it again, flawless.
