One True Loves follows the journey of Emma Blair as she comes face to face with an impossible decision. At times heartbreaking, the story is beautifully written: thoughtful, reflective, and challenging. Another great book by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

Emma falls in love with Jesse the moment she looks at him. Sam fall in love with Emma the first time they talk to each other.
After an unfortunate accident, Jesse is pronounced dead. Emma begins the grief journey and after years of this she writes to Jesse.
After an unfortunate accident, Jesse is pronounced dead. Emma begins the grief journey and after years of this she writes to Jesse.
"When you lose someone you love, it's hard to imagine that you'll ever feel better. That, one day, you'll manage to be in a good mood simply because the weather is nice or the barista at the coffee shop on the corner room and bridge your order." -Emma
However, after three years of being "dead" Jesse returns. Emma is faced the the impossible choice of being with Jesse (her husband) or Sam (her fiance).
"I don't think you're trying to figure out if you love Sam more or Jesse more. I think you're trying to figure out if you want to be the person you are with Jesse or you want to be the person you are with Sam." -Marie
Emma realizes that she is no longer the same person she was when she fell in love with Jesse. Jesse is no longer the same guy Emma loved. They can both still love each other but they might not just be for each other now.
"And what has confused me ever since I found out he was alive is now crystal clear: We are two people who are madly in love with our old selves. And that is not the same as being in love." - Emma
A truly impossible situation written beautifully. This one will definitely make you cry. What would you do?

GOOSEBUMPS…This book literally gave me goosebumps!
This is the second book I’ve read by TJR and I was not disappointed. I love her writing style and how she has this incredible talent of making you really think about things and learn life lessons in such a profound way through her storytelling.
It gripped me, broke my heart, healed it, made me reminisce my own past and made me feel sooo many things. There was just one thing that the main character did which I didn’t agree with but overall I felt this had a wonderful message about life and love. Just wow…
*cries because it’s finished but happy to have read it at all*ðŸ˜
P.S. #TeamSam <3
