The Unfinished Line by Jen Lyon
4.0
If you’re in the right headspace to tackle a story that explores the complexities of mental health struggles and their consequences, I’d recommend The Unfinished Line. Compared to Jen Lyons' The Senator's Wife series—which I found too wordy—this book feels like a significant step forward. Her writing has matured tremendously, with incredible character development and a solid, engaging plot.
As for Dillon and Kam’s relationship, there isn’t much I can add beyond what the authors note warns us: this is a love story, not a romance. That framing definitely set the tone. While I struggled with certain parts, I’ve never had a book physically make me feel numb before—yet this one did. For better or worse, I think that speaks volumes about its emotional impact.
