Started this while I'm working through some mindless stuff. I don't think I've connected to characters more in my adult life than these folks. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

“ I don‘t know why, but I feel something happened to her, like there‘s pain behind her smile.I felt it the first time…I wonder if there‘s a secret current that connects people who have lost something. Not in the way that everyone loses something,but in the way that undoes your life, undoes your self, so that when you look at your face, it isn‘t yours anymore.” — Marin thinking about the pottery store woman. #14books14weeks #week2 #grief

7/10
Another page turner from TJR with the alternating chapters for each scenario! However, I cannot rate this book much higher than I did because the ending fell short for me, as heartwarming as it was, because I was left feeling a tad incomplete/unfinished. Although, I‘ll say the book did have me pondering how much truly is up to fate and how our choices effect our future endeavors. So it was extremely provoking in that sense which I enjoyed!

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! ❤️ 1d

A backlist romantic suspense from Nora Roberts, I enjoyed Tess and her empathetic heart, but found Ben's disdain for her profession hard to deal with. There were other places where the book definitely showed its age...the constant smoking, for one.
But the description of the avant garde art show had me snort laughing my tea.
