The Things We Leave Unfinished Paperback – February 23, 2021

5++ Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ THE THINGS WE LEAVE UNFINISHED will not be this story. This is one you will want to read from start to finish—and likely more than once. The present-day tale of Georgia and Noah captivates with its ups and downs and touches of angst and heartache. The bittersweet story of Scarlett and Jameson is sure to evoke strong emotions, especially heartbreak with many tears, but also moments of sweetness and joy.What truly sets the narrative apart are the unexpected twists and turns that will leave you breathless; some may even provide a sense of peace to balance the sorrow. This is an incredible read that even now brings me to tears as I am writing this. The well-drawn characters and highly emotive writing will draw you in from the beginning and keep you thoroughly engaged until the very end.The seamless transitions between the present and the past make it easier to navigate through the emotional challenges each character faces. Moreover, how it is written makes it even harder to put down, as you’ll be eager to find out what happens next for each couple. I can’t recommend this highly enough but be warned to keep plenty of tissues on hand, and if you read it before bed, you won’t be getting much sleep.

The love letters exchanged during WWII were particularly moving, offering a tender and heartfelt glimpse into a romance shaped by distance and duty. The historical aspect of flees and those that got them where they needed to be were among my favorite parts of the book and have sparked a deeper interest in reading more about that era.The dual timelines were well-executed, and the back-and-forth between the two main characters in the present-day storyline kept the narrative engaging. Their chemistry and emotional development felt authentic and added depth to the story.While the book shines in its historical detail and emotional beats, the twist at the end added an unexpected and satisfying layer. Overall, it was an enjoyable and thoughtful read that blends romance, history, and intrigue in a memorable way.

Beautifully written. I could not stop reading. So much love, fight, and passion. Beautifully twisted. Was really shocked. I love all the characters.

The Things We Leave Unfinished by Rebecca Yarros5 starsSpice: 🔥🔥/5I am going to have a huge book hangover. MAJOR book hangover after reading this masterpiece. If I could give this book 10 stars, I would. I have apparently been living under a rock because I hadn’t found Rebecca Yarros yet.I did everything in my power to read this book over the weekend. I have a paperback, which I prefer, but it is much harder to read a paperback versus e-book when I have two small kiddos running around. However, I tried to fit it in at any space I possibly could. All adult responsibilities, besides keeping the children alive, clean, and fed, was dedicated to this book.I was not prepared for the two love stories (some could say three at the end) that I was about to embark upon. Rebecca takes us back to the 1940s as well which is something I did not expect. At first, I wasn’t sure if I would like it since it hinges on historical fiction a tad, but she did a fabulous job at creating that love story and putting the reader right in the war with them.Scarlett and Jameson were destined and fated. Their story was all consuming, and heartbreaking living through the war. My heart burst for them.The banter between Noah and Georgia was top tier. The slow burn and sexual tension between them was palpable and I couldn’t wait for them to kiss. She built that up to the perfect anticipation. I do love when we get to step into the book world within a book as well. I always get excited when one of the main characters is an author. It doesn’t hurt when it’s Noah. YUM.The ending of the book took me by surprise and will leave me thinking about this book and characters for a long time. Absolute phenomenal book!#avidreaderbookblog #readingislife #bookblogger #bookbloggerofinstagram #bookbloggersofinstagram #romance #romancebooks #romancebookstagram #romancebookstagrammer #romancebookaddict #rebeccayarros #rebeccayarrosauthor #rebeccayarrosbook #angst #turmoil #peril #timepiece #bookbloggers

Another great read by Rebecca Yarros. There was so much hype from friends over this one that I ended up being slightly disappointed. The writing itself is great and so is the storyline.

I love a book that holds a story within a story. Ending did not disappoint! A love story containing reality.

From the first page to the last, I was enthralled. This book had it all, the love between sisters, loyalty and patriotism, heart ache ,Secrets and once in a lifetime love. Loved it.
