Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this beautiful book.
Another book that I fell into and could not stop reading. This is such a beautifully-written story, so relatable because we all make so many choices in our lives - is it fate, just meant to be, coincidence, karma? This is one of those fork in the road books and really makes you think.
Lucy and Gabe met in college on one of those days that we will all remember exactly where we were at that moment. When they met again a year later, all the pieces fell together and they became a couple, madly in love, all the stars aligned. Until Gabe is offered his dream job of being a photojournalist in war zones - to make a difference. And Lucy is left behind.
This book is told in the form of a diary of sorts in Lucy's voice, starting at the beginning of their relationship and through the rest of the story leading up to a major decision she must make.
This story left me hollow, sad, and a bit breathless when it was done. It's written so beautifully and I'll be thinking about these characters for a long time.
