One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid
3.25

 It was good, but not great. I found the beginning very intriguing and fast-paced, but after a while I lost interest in the story. Emma didn't feel relatable and I didn't connect with her, and her emotions didn't really resonate with me. I also felt that the book went downhill when Jesse returned. I felt the whole time that Sam was the better option, because her life had changed and her connection with Jesse was different. Jesse's emotions weren't conveyed well enough either. He spent three years alone, waiting every day to see his wife again, and then he's not angrier that she's moving on? The whole weekend in Maine also felt wrong, and emotions weren't handled in the right way.
