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 fiance, Emma has to now figure out who she is and what she wants while trying to protect the ones she loves. But who is her one true love? What does it mean to love truly?

My Thoughts:

I was excited to read this one as I had previously read one of Taylor’s books and enjoyed it, however this one just didn’t hit the spot for me. At a young age Emma marries Jesse and they have the perfect life together until one fateful day changes everything. How can Emma get through the grief and rebuild her future. She decides to move back home. When she meets someone she has not seen for a very long time, he helps her to see there is light at the end of the tunnel and maybe she could be happy again. Until her past comes back to haunt her and she finds out something that really shakes her world. But now she is in a dilemma and she doesn’t know what to do? I liked the start of this story, but as the story went on it seemed a bit silly and I started to despise Emma. I didn’t think she deserved to be with either man. It was a predictable story.
