REVIEW
Yet another book where CoHo had me crying like a baby at the end. I love how she started this book with a unique twist of how the characters met. She continues to build on that story through a series of back and forth “then” flashbacks detailing the history of their love story, to a “now” present-day storyline of how their relationship is falling apart. I love these characters together, but sometimes life circumstances can get in the way. As I read through the “now” stories, I found myself getting more upset with Quinn and felt she was self-sabotaging her relationship. Yes, she was going through something painful and yes, she was trying to make a decision that would make her husband happy, but she was jeopardizing that love. I think we can all say at times that we can get in our heads and think we are doing what’s right, when essentially it may be hurting our relationships. Truly honest communication between people, even lovers, is the hardest thing people can do. We hold back bc we don’t want to hurt others. We hold back bc we are hurting ourselves and aren’t in a place to verbalize. By the end of chapter 26, I was so mad at Quinn and wanted to throw the book across the room…how can you open the box when you know you feel the opposite way!?! With the box open, you discover Graham’s side of things. His letters had me in tears. But, you realize he too was doing the same, withholding his words/feelings, so he wouldn’t hurt his wife further. However, what he wasn’t able to verbalize in person, he was able to in written words. Words and feelings that should have been shared sooner, by both people, that would potentially have saved them heartache. The story does have a happy ending. There were three great reminders from this story that I walked away with… 1-Communication, honest and loving communication, is key. 2-Relationships are hard and imperfect, long-standing relationships take both people not giving up on each other at the same time. 3-Sometimes the storyline or ending you create or envision in your head for your relationship isn’t the only way to be happy together. Loved this book!
