i am not a huge fan of love triangles, so i had low expectations going into this book. i’m surprised i actually liked it.
the characters are very lovable. i couldn’t imagine myself in emma’s situation when she had to pick between jesse and sam. which brings me into another point— i preferred the other love interest over the person she ended up with (i’m not telling who). although, i sort of saw who she’ll end up with, i was rooting for it to take a curveball.
tjr is honestly one of the best authors i’ve picked up this year. she never disappoints. btw, i love the taylor swift references.

I feel like even Taylor Jenkins Reid's grocery lists would be beautifully written and engaging.
One True Loves is the fourth of her books I've read and was completely pulled in.
We meet Emma Blair while out for dinner with her fiancée Sam. She receives a phone call from an unknown number, and it's her husband, Jesse.
He went missing in a helicopter crash years earlier and was presumed dead.
What does it mean to truly love two people, those who represent different sides of the best of you?
As with all TJR books I've read, the characters are relatable, even in these most unnatural of circumstances.
This is an emotional read; depictions of grief, loss and utter despair are at the forefront.
Recommended!
