Loved it! Emma has to pick up the pieces of her life when her husband, Jesse, goes down in a helicopter crash over the Pacific Ocean one day before their 1st wedding anniversary. 3.5 years later, Emma has built a new life and is newly engaged to be married, when Jesse is found alive and is rescued. He wants to rebuild their marriage, but Emma is torn. An excellent love triangle story!

Number one of my summer holiday beach reads. As we all know TJR is my fave contemporary author so decided to give one of her early books a go. Great beach read - easy going romance but prefer her newer stuff 😊 (even got my husband reading Carrie Soto this holiday!)

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 The story (husband disappears in a helicopter crash at their first anniversary and then is found 3.5 years later, but wife engaged to someone else) was compelling and I whipped through it, but 😖 to all of the boundary crossing. Also some distracting plot holes. If he was lost near Alaska, wouldn‘t he have died of cold exposure? All of the emotional processing and decision making happened in less than a week after his return?? Soft pick.

I‘m maybe 3/4 through this and Jesse is making my skin crawl. I just want her to get the hell out of there. I think some of it is the dopey dude voice that Julia Whelan sometimes uses for male characters but, ugh, I do not like him at all. 😖

7/10
This book finally brought me out of my reading rut! Although it is not my favorite TJR book, it is definitely worth the read as it was easy to be consumed by the storyline and become consumed with Emma‘s feelings as your own. However, I would say it was a tad predictable as to who she would choose in the end. But still, beautifully and heartbrokenly written, TJR once again impressed!

LaraReads Totally agree! Love TJR, and this was so good. Not as much depth as some of the others, but it was a really well written story about a heartbreaking situation! ❤️ 4mo

Did anyone else feel like the movie took all the emotion out of the book?! I was so disappointed with the movie after TJR wrote such beautiful descriptions of how to deal with grief and moving on and then the movie just took these characters, their personality, and feelings and just flattened them into these boring personas. Also.. Anyone who is #TeamJesse, you‘re WRONG. He‘s a freaking walking red flag. 3.5/5 stars

LeeRHarry I haven‘t watched the movie and it sounds like I should give it a miss. Thought the book was great. 😊 (edited) 4mo
BooksNBowls @LeeRHarry you might like it idk I just thought they tried way too hard to turn it into a rom com and it‘s NOT a rom com lol and there‘s so much GREAT dialogue from the book they completely erased for some mediocre lines 🙄 4mo

I‘m gradually making my way through Taylor Jenkins Reid‘s books and this is the first of her older, lesser-knowns that I‘ve read. I think she has matured & expanded in her writing since this one, but I still love her writing style. A little sappy near the end, but still a good story.

I quite loved this one. I loved that it wasn‘t about which man to choose, but about choosing yourself. Who do you want to be? It had me doing some good reflecting on my own life: pre-marriage travel, living in cool places having fantastic experiences, and post-marriage wanting simplicity and contentment in small things. My only gripe is WHO loves daylight savings, TJR?!? Couldn‘t suspend disbelief for that fact 😂😂

I was lucky enough to get a screener of the adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid‘s book One True Loves and it was wonderful. If you‘ve read the book, you will be happy with this film. Simu Liu is a treasure as Sam. Are you Team Sam or Team Jesse? I‘m Team Sam!

Throughout the whole book I kept thinking what would I do? TJR breaks the mold with her tropes: it's a love triangle but it's more than that, it's friends to lovers but also a journey of healing. It is a second chance romance but also a blessing/curse. No matter how you think about it there is no right or wrong way to go through such an experience.

😬 I‘m a bit late with my review for this book (it was my #authoramonth February pick). This is the first book I've read by TJR. I'm not sure what I was expecting, a mystery or something nefarious. But this wasn't any of that. It was a love story of sorts. There's no right or wrong here, just a review of relationships, how they change over time as people change. 3/5⭐️
(March 13, 2023)

UwannaPublishme It‘s fascinating how all of her books are so different. But I‘ve loved the two I read. And I know I‘ll read more. 7mo
PurpleyPumpkin @UwannaPublishme I definitely want to read more of her books. I enjoyed this one but kept wondering if one of the characters was up to something. It kind of threw me off. 🤷🏽‍♀️ (edited) 7mo

Question: Do you ever skip forward to the ends of your books? Take a peek at how things resolve??

I NEVER DO! But I am having such a hard time with self control on this one! I was listening to the audio which makes that impossible, but then my print copy came in & I have found my restraint very lacking!! Only about 70 pages to go. I can do it!! 🙌🏻😅

IndoorDame I did sometimes as a kid, but in the last 10 or 15 years I only remember doing so once - when I was too annoyed with a book to actually read the second half, but too interested in the plot to just abandon it. 7mo
Ruthiella I do sometimes when I am afraid something really bad will happen. I have to find out the worst of it and then I can go back and read what leads up to it. 😬 7mo
LaraReads @IndoorDame that makes perfect sense! You might as well get a little payoff on your investment. @Ruthiella good point. Sometimes it‘s good to have a little assurance of the end so you can fully enjoy the ride! I‘m really glad I didn‘t with this one. That way all the feels I felt were authentic as she was going through them! 7mo

marleed I don‘t but often wish I‘d read author‘s notes first. Also, I often finish a book and the immediately reread the first 3-4 chapters because they do often read differently now that I know the ending. With the tagged, I got to the end and immediately reread the whole book because - that ending. 7mo

With this book being adapted into a film, of course I wanted to read the book before it hits theaters. This heartbreaking novel will give the reader faith that true loves does exist. It also causes the reader to ask themselves what they would do in this situation. How could you decide between two people that mean everything to you? TJR has the ability to put you into her characters' shoes which is why she is so immensely popular.

MyNamesParadise I just saw this book in a bookstore with the label that it was soon to be a movie! I actually have the book lol but would love to read it before the movie comes out. I‘ll have to look the movie up! 7mo

My first book finished for #ValentinesDayReadathon. @DieaReader @Ghabi4Roses
At first wasn‘t enjoying this as much as her other books but really picked up in the second half and had all the emotional feels you expect. Story of a woman whose husband ‘died‘ in a helicopter crash, and eventually got engaged again. Only for her husband to reappear after a few years away on a remote island. What does she do? Felt this was very well written.

TheSpineView I enjoyed this one too.💙📖 7mo

I think everyone knows already what this novel is about, Emma is a “widow” engaged and in preparation to her second wedding when she received a call from her supposedly dead husband. Now she has to choose. There were elements I liked about this story. During that decision process, I found Emma a little selfish and opportunistic. But I was wrong, I think that what she was facing was hard⬇️

Gissy There are past and present feelings, emotions experiences and now, she was not the same. She is part of that past and present, blended in herself, in what she is as a woman and person. She moved forward and there is the past, which is already altered. Hard decision but you need to read it to know what she decided and why. 3.5⭐️

Taylor Jenkins Reid has been hit and miss for me. I loved Eleanor Hugo and Malibu Rising, but I didn't love Daisy Jones & the Six. I enjoyed reading this one for sure, but it felt shallower than the others, maybe because it was an earlier work. There were lovely parts, and it got me in the feels more than once, but the timeline bothered me - for a few reasons - but mostly because the ending felt rushed ⬇️

staci.reads and people accepted some pretty tough realizations too quickly and easily. I also found the end pretty predictable. I feel like she signaled it too obviously in her descriptions of the early years. I liked it a lot, but it's not one of my favorites of hers. 8mo

This is my second TJR for #authoramonth #aam and it‘s just a soft pick for me. Emma‘s husband is presumed dead after a helicopter accident, but reappears many years later just after she had got engaged to someone else.

I really enjoyed some of her more recent stuff but you could tell this was early TJR - a bit too saccharine and schmaltzy for me. (The MC mentioned her own cute freckles far too many times!)

A light fluffy listen though.

I just fell in love and had my heart broken several times over all in one rush. There‘s nothing unpredictable here, yet somehow watching it unfold was still surprising. It takes on some major cliches, but it does so in a way that is completely without artifice. TJRs considerable mastery at bringing her characters to life is going to leave me with a major book hangover from this one.

Contemporary romance is definitely not my genre, but I enjoyed this #LoveTriangle #AuthorAMonth. Why I do challenges!

Emma married her high school sweetheart Jesse. Together they traveled the world, but when Jesse takes a solo helicopter trip, he is lost at sea. Emma heads back home deep in grief. After a time, she reconnects with Sam and takes over her parents‘ bookstore. Miraculously Jesse survived at sea. Can one woman have two true loves?
