Blurb:
Told in alternating timelines, THE THINGS WE LEAVE UNFINISHED examines the risks we take for love, the scars too deep to heal, and the endings we can’t bring ourselves to see coming.
Twenty-eight-year-old Georgia Stanton has to start over after she gave up almost everything in a brutal divorce—the New York house, the friends, and her pride. Now back home at her late great-grandmother’s estate in Colorado, she finds herself face-to-face with Noah Harrison, the bestselling author of a million books where the cover is always people nearly kissing. He’s just as arrogant in person as in interviews, and she’ll be damned if the good-looking writer of love stories thinks he’s the one to finish her grandmother’s final novel…even if the publisher swears he’s the perfect fit.
Noah is at the pinnacle of his career. With book and movie deals galore, there isn’t much the “golden boy” of modern fiction hasn’t accomplished. But he can’t walk away from what might be the best book of the century—the one his idol, Scarlett Stanton, left unfinished. Coming up with a fitting ending for the legendary author is one thing, but dealing with her beautiful, stubborn, cynical great-granddaughter, Georgia, is quite another.
But as they read Scarlett’s words in both the manuscript and her box of letters, they start to realize why Scarlett never finished the book—it’s based on her real-life romance with a World War II pilot, and the ending isn’t a happy one. Georgia knows all too well that love never works out, and while the chemistry and connection between her and Noah is undeniable, she’s as determined as ever to learn from her great-grandmother’s mistakes—even if it means destroying Noah’s career.
Once again, Rebecca Yarros delivers something so raw and powerful with such uniqueness that you cannot help but fall in love with her words. I was blown away at the concept and fell in love with the past and the present in the world that was created. My heart ached for Georgia as she struggled to find her footing again. Then you have the past with her grandmother. I felt the depth of this story to my soul. Honestly, there are no words that can honestly describe something like this. There are so many moments that have your heart racing, your emotions all over the place and everything in between.
One thing I can say about this book is that it will impact you in so many ways. I could feel all the emotions bleed through the pages. The concept was something so amazing that I could not put it down once I started. Yarros writes with such poise that you are so engulfed in her words. This is very much one of those books you have to read to fully understand why my review is a jumbled mess!
