From the bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo comes a breathtaking love story about a woman unexpectedly forced to choose between the husband she has long thought dead and the fiancé who has finally brought her back to life.
In her twenties, Emma Blair marries her high school sweetheart, Jesse. They build a life for themselves, far away from the expectations of their parents and the people of their hometown in Massachusetts. They travel the world together, living life to the fullest and seizing every opportunity for adventure.
On their first wedding anniversary, Jesse is on a helicopter over the Pacific when it goes missing. Just like that, Jesse is gone forever.
Emma quits her job and moves home in an effort to put her life back together. Years later, now in her thirties, Emma runs into an old friend, Sam, and finds herself falling in love again. When Emma and Sam get engaged, it feels like Emma’s second chance at happiness.
That is, until Jesse is found. He’s alive, and he’s been trying all these years to come home to her. With a husband and a fiancé, Emma has to now figure out who she is and what she wants, while trying to protect the ones she loves.
Who is her one true love? What does it mean to love truly?
Emma knows she has to listen to her heart. She’s just not sure what it’s saying.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5TJR has such a wonderful way of writing. Her books are like the first day of Autumn to me, and this one is no different. It’s heart breaking and beautiful and I loved everything about it!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was amazing! There is so much depth and wisdom in her words that I want to highlight quotes. I loved how the story shows that people change and who we were at 20 is not the same as when we are in 30. It was able to relate to main characters and understand them. You learn about characters throughout a book and only in the end you really understand what kind of people they are. Love stories are touching too. One is fast and exciting, second is slow, caring and mature.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Original idea about a woman who is faced with having to choose between a love she thought she had lost that is unexpectedly returned and the love she fought so hard to build after grief nearly destroyed her. She faces the questions of “Can we go back to the way things were because we have always believed we were meant to be together?” or do the experiences that we go through change us in a way that makes what COULD be as beautiful as what might have been?
