"Emily has come a long way since she lost her two passions fifteen years ago: music, and Rob. She's a psychologist at NYU who helps troubled college students like the one she once was. Together with her caring doctor husband, Ezra, she has a beautiful life. They're happy. They hope to start a family. But when a tragic event in Emily's present too closely echoes her past, and parts of her story that she'd hoped never to share come to light, her perfect life is suddenly upturned. Then Emily hears a song on the radio about the woman who got away. The melody and voice are hauntingly familiar. Could it be? As Emily's past passions come roaring back into her life, she'll find herself asking: Who is she meant to be? Who is she meant to love?"--… (more)

A very sweet if unrealistic love story. A nice summer read. (

This was the perfect book for an end of summer vacation week. I absolutely loved the ease of the writing style and found it a hard read to put down. The story follows the life of a married woman who gave up on her love of music after an accident many years before. Along with her love of music, she left behind her first love.

As both music and her previous relationship make their way back into her life, everything about her present-day self and marriage is questioned. I highly recommend this one and I plan on sharing more closer to its spring 2021 publication date!

{Thank you to GP Putnam and Edelweiss for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.} (

Epigraph

Maybe this will help.
Maybe I won't think about you anymore.
Dream about you.
Maybe I won't have to keep wondering.
Always wondering:
Were you even real?

Dedication

For Andrew.

For always.

First words

As she walked down Astor Place toward her office, Emily Gold rested her hand on her abdomen, trying to figure out if it felt different.

Quotations

Our music was our love, and our love was our music.

Everything happens the way it's supposed to happen.

Things will be okay in the end. If they are not okay, it's not the end.

One choice doesn't have to define a life.
