excellent and heartbreaking premise but these characters, especially emma, are too annyoing to root for in any way or form. by the second half, it felt like reid was basing everything on a strict outline and the developments of the story were too santized from then on

Taylor Jenkins Reid you have done it again. A wonderful book about loss and love and building yourself back up again after loss. I cannot recommend this book enough to people if you want a great read that really makes you think about love.

Emma is a teenager when she meets Jesse and they quickly fall in love and years later get married. However, shortly after they are married for a year, Jesse takes a work trip and is presumed dead when his plane crashes at sea. Emma now has to live ugh grief and building her life back together after it's been torn apart. She meets Sam, a childhood friend and they fall in love. But when Jesse comes back, Emma is forced to confront her new reality and decide whether her love for Jesse is the same as her love for Sam.

The book does a wonderful job at making the reader think about love, the ends of relationships, grief and how all of those things exist at the same time for a period of time. Aside from the love story (and the team Jesse vs. team Sam ala Edward vs. Jacob I grew up with), it is a fun and interesting read ABOUT love. luv u taylor <3

TJR does it again! Much like Maybe in Another Life, One True Loves will leave you contemplating what is true love and the relationship between time and love. Not my favorite of hers, but still enjoyable, I would recommend this book.
