One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid
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.
This one didn’t make me cry. I was close a couple times. This might be the first Taylor Jenkins Reid book that I got through without sobbing.
I did really love this one. But it also frustrated me. And made me question what I would do in Emma’s situation. I will say that I loved Sam. And I hated that he was hurt. I did like Emma and Jesse’s story, but there was something a bit off with them at times. I don’t even know why I felt that way. I love how Emma really had to look at love and how things change over the years. How it really is to love more than one person with your whole heart. I just had a lot of feelings with this one.
I gave this book 5 stars.
