review 1: This is a really beautiful written story which I thoroughly enjoyed. This is Marnie and Joes story. We read about their story when as a teenager and then in their thirties. Marnies married with two kids when her first love Joe comes back into her life. This book came across as a real story with relatable characters. The author did a great job of portraying to us what these characters thought and felt. Great read that I'd definitely recommend.
review 2: I was so excited to read another Stephanie Elliot novel and this one did not disappoint! I truly could not put it down. The author did an wonderful job weaving the past and present of the main character's life, juxtaposing her young adult challenges with her adult circumstances. In her youth and adulthood Marnie
... morewas genuine and relatable. You come away from the novel feeling like you read an autobiography/diary and Marnie has become a friend, odd as that sounds! You get a raw insight to both a young adult's first real romance and the struggles of an adult woman realizing there are external and internal issues. Sometimes I wanted to shake the character through the pages and at times I really felt for her...Her story is realistic but also a page-turner as I was constantly anticipating how story lines would intersect and secrets would be revealed. I love that! Of course I have to mention the sex in this novel. I have never read sex scenes that were both touching and erotic. The lemons!! I too, will never look at lemons the same way...The way the author writes this novel inadvertently encouraged me at every turn to reflect on my own life; how I've handled similar situations/emotions and how I would have handled them and will handle them. I'm excited for what's next to come from Stephanie Elliot...more please!!! less
