I spent almost the entirety of this book screaming oh my gods do not get married like this, because . . . going forward with a wedding in several weeks when you can't remember your fiancee or indeed anything about your life sounds . . . like such a good plan. . .

Also Marshall's repeated instances of thinking of his therapist's advice and then immediately of how/why he was not following it was quite something - especially, say, the time he wondered why x, and then thought of his therapist's advice for x, and how he wasn't following it. I wonder at your problems, really. . . ( )

This is an interesting story. Stella and Marshall are longtime sweethearts. Marshall has gone off to war and Stella has been anxiously awaiting his return as she plans their upcoming wedding. But Marshall returns just a month before the wedding having suffered a severe head injury with no memory of his fiance. This story will take you through the struggles from both Stella and Marshall's perspectives. It was an endearing story of not giving up on true love. ( )

This is an incredibly moving story about a young man who goes off to war leaving his fiance to plan their wedding. He returns after suffering a severe head injury with no memory of his fiance. This wonderful story takes us through the struggles from both perspectives. Recommended read. ( )

Book Review: I found this to be a good book overall. For me it was sweet and interesting. I liked Stella and Marshall, they were believable and it was easy to empathize with their predicament. The background characters were fun and easy to enjoy them. I enjoyed the overall story line, although the ending was a little too easy. I did not find this to be as fast of a read as the previous but well worth the effort to finish. Really was looking forward to an elaborate ending and it seemed to be much more simple than that. I believe that was my expectation and not in any way something that the author set up.
I would like to thank Net Galley and Zondervan Fiction for allowing me to read and review this book in return for a free copy and I was never asked to write a favorable review by anyone. ( )
