Well, this was certainly very different to The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones & The Six — the two most recent books by Taylor Jenkins Reid and two books that I've read over the prior two weeks (I'm hosting a month-long readathon of her books via my company's Instagram account in case y'all who follow me on Goodreads are wondering).

This is a story about a woman whose husband, her high school sweetheart, goes missing on their first wedding anniversary. Emma Blair works through her grief and finds love again, even getting engaged, but then years later, her first husband, Jesse, is found alive. So who does she end up with?

I wasn't blown away by the writing and I did find some it a bit cheesy, but I was intrigued enough to find out how it would end. What's interesting is that a lot of people say that they spent the whole book not sure who Emma should end up with, but the way the story was set up made it very obvious to me who which relationship was right for Emma. And I guess that took a little away from my reading experience — it was more like: "how and when do we get there?" as opposed to "where will we end up?"

Overall, this was an enjoyable read but not one I'll be recommending to people unless I know they have a soft spot for romance stories.
