Sam.Everard | Jan 3, 2021 |   I love second-chance stories, and Ms. Burr does a nice job on this one. The book goes back and forth from the current time to the ten years earlier when Elle and Luke met. It builds the story quite nicely and the pacing is good. Elle and Luke are a good pair though I did think that Elle might have displayed more angst over her background - her mother's alcoholism and the bad boyfriend - than she did; it would have made her eventual reason for the breakup to be more believable. The secondary characters are fun. Both Mena and Malone deserve their own book as Mena's dialogue is hilarious. The writing is okay. There's a bit too much passive voice, tense changes, and some YA tropes and over-writing such as: "I know I look like a hot mess - one that has been stomped on by an elephant, run over by a train, and then shit on by life." The story is so good I wish some of this had been addressed, but I didn't find it too distracting. Anyway, this was a good story, and I enjoyed the read very much. Readers who like second-chance romances will like this one. (  ) N.W.Moors | Aug 12, 2018 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
It's been nearly a decade since Elle Sloan last saw Luke Hutchins. Close to ten years since she broke up with him over a single phone call, providing him with little explanation. Since the end of their relationship, Elle has done everything she could do to move on, marrying, proceeding forward with her life, almost allowing herself to completely forget about Luke.Almost.Out of nowhere, Elle receives a phone call from Luke's mother. Luke has been in a horrific car accident and, a month later, has just awoken from a coma. However, instead of celebrating, his family is stunned to learn that Luke is suffering from amnesia and only remembers his life as it was before his breakup with Elle. Not wanting to tell Luke that he and Elle aren't together anymore for fear it may compromise his recovery, Elle is asked by Luke's family to come to the hospital to see him. Their hope is that she will slowly be able to jog his memory and cushion the blow. Guilt-ridden over how their relationship ended, Elle readily agrees, finding herself transported back in time with Luke to the life they once shared and the future they could have had together.

It isn't the most original of storylines - amnesia and its grip on the relationships of its victim - but the book is so well-written, so descriptive, and so carefully driven in its storytelling that I plowed through it in a single evening. As a first-person account of both present-day and a decade prior, each glimpse of the past gives a further view inti who our lead is... and why she made the choice we're alerted to at the very beginning of the book.
This was my first book from this author, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. (
