review 1: Nate Bedecker and Emily Latham are moving from Manhattan to Newport, Rhode Island with their infant son Trevor. When they go to pick up the keys to their new house, their Jeep is stolen along with all the possessions they packed in the jeep (everything they needed to last until the rest of their belongings arrive). As they deal with this unfortunate turn of events, we learn that each Nathan and Emily have a secret. Both secrets are potentially devastating to the future they hope to build together. I don't want to give anything away because I thought it was more fun to read this book without knowing much about it. The reader learns throughout the course of the book what the secrets are and then how Nathan and Emily deal with them, first as individuals and then as a couple. ... moreI personally thought Nathan's secret was more compelling and was curious to see how the author was going to have Nathan and Emily deal with the issue. I felt the ending was a little unsatisfactory, but definitely believable---I could see two people deciding the same way. Overall, this book was good. I received this book as a First Reads winner on Goodreads.
review 2: There were parts of this book that I really liked and parts of it that I didn't like. They were both keeping secrets from each other, and trying to survive. They were changing their lives and dealing with being able to start fresh. I am not going to retell the whole story in my review. You can read that from any number of other reviewers. It was an okay book, but not one that I will remember forever or that had an impact on me. less
