“Alone wasn’t a strong enough word for what this was.”
“Somethings you have to fight for, Georgia. You can’t just walk away and leave it unfinished when it gets too complicated.”
In The Things We Leave Unfinished, Georgia is newly divorce and has lost everything. In her grief and pain she doesn’t trust anyone. Noah is a devoted fan of Georgia’s Gran Scarlet and also a successful author, hoping for an opportunity to finish Scarlet’s incomplete novel.
Rebecca Yarros spins a beautiful tale of love and loss. Spanning two timelines Scarlet’s and Georgia’s, Yarros builds tension and emotion. Her characters are interesting and realistic.
I laughed and cried as I read. This was a great reading experience on audio. The accents helped anchor me in the past in England. I don’t prefer open door scenes but was able to fast forward and pick up the plot line quickly.
This was recommended by a friend and I pass along my endorsement. I listened to the end today while working with on a puzzle which was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. I liked the complicated people plus themes of loyalty, forgiveness, and love. I also liked that some characters were writers and appreciated books. That’s always fun in a novel. Pick this up, even if like me you don’t read a lot of romance, because this one is a great one.
