melissad75's review against another edition
5.0
One of the most heartwrenching and unusual romance novels I've read in a long while. Beautifully written, with very well-drawn characters (especially Bria...wonderful Bria) and a story of friendship, loss, and love that made me teary more than once. The plot took twists I wasn't expecting and that I would never have thought could work as well as they did. There's a sort of love triangle here, but not at all the usual kind. I won't say more, because if you read this I want you to be as surprised by things as I was.

Ouch, this book was painful to read. It's vivid scenes and raw emotion lingered with me long after I turned the last page.
The plot sounds horribly depressing and there's no doubt that this is painful stuff but I wouldn't have put it down for anything. Rich in detail and emotion, it's moving and uplifting and tender and such a very beautiful story about love and friendship, THE PASSIONS OF EMMA is one of the best books I've read this year. Just grab yourself a box of tissues before starting it . . .
