About this listen

A moving 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 - from the best-selling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.

Soon to Be a Major Motion Picture

In her 20s, Emma marries her high school sweetheart, Jesse. They build a life for themselves, 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.

Years later, now in her 30s, 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 all these years he’s been trying to come home to her. With a husband and a fiancé, Emma has to now figure out who she is and what she wants.

Who is her one true love? Emma knows she has to listen to her heart. She’s just not sure what it’s saying.

The story is all over the place, it’s written in present tense, then past tense, then in third person then on top of this, the narrator is so staccato and her attempt to put on a male voice makes the characters sound like they have a processing disorder. Struggling to get through the story, disappointing so far.

This story rips your heart out and pieces it back together. Another wonderful narration by Julia.

I loved everything about this book. It is a beautiful story of grief, love and family. Most importantly, it’s about knowing yourself and not living in the past.

I swooned so hard over both Jesse and Sam and I am very excited to watch this amazing book come to life on the big screen!

Couldn’t Stop Listening!

An interesting and insightful perspective on love, loss personal reflection and growth. But the storyline was a bit too unrealistic and the narrators male voice was annoying. Maybe it works better as a movie.

Enjoyable but over the top…

I think they mucked up with the casting of the movie. Jesse looked 20 years older than Emma

Nice performance of a relatively simplistic Romance novel. If you like TJR you will probably enjoy, but definitely not in the league of her other novels

Easy listening from TJR

this book was very sad and heartbreaking and I guess plays on your fears of loosing someone you love. so parts can be hard to listen too. but it's a nice book, a good story. it's just about love, loss, moving on, moving back. no spice or added drama or anything unnecessary.

sad, heartbreaking but a nice love story
