A review by kellyhager
Fireworks Over Toccoa by Jeffrey Stepakoff
3.0
This is an incredibly sweet (and sad) love story in the vein of Nicholas Sparks. But don't judge; Stepakoff wrote for The Wonder Years. So this is a book that you can read in public with no shame. :)
This is set toward the end of World War II. Lily's a young bride and very excited that her husband, Paul, is coming home after three and a half years of being in Europe for the war. He'll be home in less than a week, and so she's working hard to get their house ready. (She's spent much of the separation back in her parents' home.)
And then she meets Jake, who just might be her soulmate. So there's a choice--the life she's already committed to, or the life she didn't know she could have.
If you're in the mood for a great love story, wait til March 30 and pick this up. The prose is a little purple, but I'm a big fan of melodrama, so that just made me like it more. :)
(And Emily Giffin, one of my favorite authors, said it's a "luminous love story that readers won't soon forget.")
I hope they make this into a movie.
