6.29.2017 - Everything We Left Behind

Everything We Left Behind by Kerry Lonsdale

Thanks so much to NetGalley, Lake Union Publishing, and Kerry Lonsdale for the opportunity to read and review this book - I loved it!

This is the sequel to a favorite of mine from last year, Everything We Keep. It's a somewhat complicated story - James is engaged to marry Aimee. Two months before the wedding, he discovers his brother Phil is laundering money and endangering the family business. He takes off to Mexico where he is lost at sea and presumed dead.

Six years later, James wakes up from a fugue state where he learned he had been living in Mexico as Carlos, a widower with two sons, and is involved with his sister-in-law. This book is told from both James' point of view in the present and Carlos' starting in the past and moving forward. It's fascinating to see both characters and the story develop.

These are great books and there is another coming next year - I already can't wait for it! Pick up the first one, then grab this sequel!
