DISCLAMIER: We had a technical audio glitch/hiccup in the middle of reading the description for the novel. It is attached below here in the episode show notes for you, listener! Be sure to read and enjoy!
SUMMARY: When Emma Blair first met Jesse Lerner, she was a bright-eyed high school Sophomore, living in Acton, Massachusetts with her older sister, Marie, and parents Colin and Ashley. Emma and Jesse fell for each other right away after a not so great experience in high school. These two were inseparable and became high school sweethearts almost instantly. This is also when Emma met Sam Kemper, friendzoning him hardcore! In the years after, Emma and Jesse are now living in California and blissfully about to celebrate one year of marriage when he ends up going missing and is presumably pronounced dead. After returning home to Massachusetts and completely devastated while entering her thirties as a widow, Emma ends up reconnecting with Sam. The two eventually become engaged and it would seem that everything is coming together… until Emma receives a call. Jesse is ALIVE and he is coming home. Stuck between a husband she thought she lost and a fiance, Emma is forced to figure out the future she truly desires for herself. One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid is a heartwarming story of what happens when life and love take unexpected turns. It sets out to ask the question, can you really only ever have one true love in your life?
With the holiday season fully upon us, come and relax as Allysha and Jordan recap this sweet Christmas themed tale, The Christmas Sisters by Sarah Morgan. The ladies share about some very deep, personal things while also uncovering heartwarming and funny memories! The drink paired with this book was a Scottish coffee (basically an Irish coffee with scotch instead). As always, please enjoy listening! Don't forget to give us a rating and review!
