2.0

love this idea and how it plays out. not obsessed with the execution. it reads like Normal People in how there’s little stories for each time period to show how the characters feel about each other but since that writing style is purposely fleeting i felt like it lacked depth for the premise. i also wish she saw olive more after high school.

Not my favorite TJR book but it was good. I could tell who she was going to pick based on how the author wrote.

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. 

"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?
