*sorry if it's a bit spoilery * my favorite thing about this story is the closure. Overall, I'm really happy with the way this one turned out. We're sposed to get this love story that was right for the moment but ultimately its sposed to get the back seat to the true love story of this story. BUT maybe that's what TJR meant to do! Maybe this is her genius working its magic. It didnt seem to me like there was any sustenance to them.

I guess maybe I'm team Sam because you saw them blossom together and you saw him understand her 'new' life and you saw them put in the work into the relationship that they have/are building towards. but I guess my reasoning is because first he doesn't know she exists and then he does, then the next minute they're married and then he's gone.Īnd once they reconnected.they were both just so different that you could just tell they weren't meant to be anymore. I did feel like Jesse was never really the one (obvs I know this is a made up story and that only they know their relationship). It wasnt.idk how to explain it.it was straight forward, you don't get to see two happy endings. I think I liked this story over maybe in another life because it's a singular line type of story vs the two stories we get in that book. Now she has to decide what and who she wants and what to do with it all. (but how funny that one of my favorite Jack Johnson songs has my most favorite lyric ever: ' you tell me time never waits, well that's okay cause i don't wait for time.')Įmma has finally gotten her life back on track and is so happy with Sam when she gets a call from Jesse and everything she thought she knew just falls apart. *not completely spoilery but there are some so beware!* Who is her one true love?
