The truth changes everything.
For years Jess believed that Joe—the father of her child and the only man she ever loved—had abandoned her during her greatest time of need. That belief nearly destroyed her. Seventeen years later, when cleaning out her mother’s house, Jess unpacks a box of cards and letters hidden in the attic and makes a discovery that changes everything about life as she knows it.
Shaken but empowered, Jess—and her two stalwart best friends—set out on a remarkable journey to follow a set of faded postmarks around the world. Is Joe still alive? Does he know that Jess never forgot him? Maybe their love story isn’t over.
Maybe one day they’ll find each other again…
REVIEW: Thank you to Netgalley and William Morrow and Custom House for the advanced reader copy of this book in exchange for a review. I requested this book because the cover looked like it would be your typical light rom-com novel. It was not that. Instead, this is a story beautifully crafted in flashback, letters, and memories.The main character Jess has had so much trauma in her life. This is definitely not a light hearted romance. It's very heavy and emotional. After the upbringing and life that the love of her life Joe had he is still one of the most kind and caring souls. The characters who shape Joe's character after he "abandons" Jess are just delightful. While there is so much loss and sadness in this story, it's also reality. Nothing is ever simple and easy I like the fact that this was real. Overall this was a 4 out of 5 for me. A beautiful story of friendship, loss, and most importantly love.
