Now That It's You by Tawna Fenske
3.0
3.5 stars
I received an advanced copy of the book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an unbiased review.
This was an extremely well-written, moving and touching book about loss and love. The general description of a woman trying to make peace with her former financee only to discover he has died, does not capture the essence of this book. It's really a story about family, adultery, responsibility and all of the echos that former relationships and lives brings.
There are a few issues with this book -- especially the ending. This is one of those books that have an abrupt conclusion, in this case only two chapters. In addition, a more difficult ending would have been a much stronger, and probably more realistic choice in this case. There are a few other odd moments and scenes, but those concerns do not come close to the difficulty with the ending.
Recommended.
