About this ebook
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Hannah examines whether love and commitment are enough to sustain a marriage when two people who have put their individual dreams on ice get a chance to defrost them . . . in fast-moving prose punctuated by snappy asides.”—People
Elizabeth and Jackson Shore married young, raised two daughters, and weathered the storms of youth as they built a family. From a distance, their lives look picture perfect. But after the girls leave home, Jack and Elizabeth quietly drift apart. When Jack accepts a wonderful new job, Elizabeth puts her own needs aside to follow him across the country.
Then tragedy turns Elizabeth’s world upside down. In the aftermath, she questions everything about her life—her choices, her marriage, even her long-forgotten dreams. In a daring move that shocks her husband, friends, and daughters, she lets go of the woman she has become—and reaches out for the woman she wants to be.

I found myself skimming over paragraphs so I could finish the book faster. Just a typical lost then found love story.

Very slow unfolding & then got predictable. I always enjoy reading Hannah's books but this is not her best work.

Another knockout by Hannah. I'm on a binge right now. I'm reading everything by her I can get my hands on. By far my favorite contemporary writer. Keep em coming.
