An impossible choice to have to make!
4.5/5–This was an absolute gut punch and I could not put it down. I flew through it and loved every second. I didn’t care for many of the choices Emma made because someone always ends up devastated in love triangle-y books and it ends up devastating me too. I was pulling for the one that she didn’t choose to stay with. But once I realized the rationale Emma was using to make her Big Decision (between Sam or Jesse), I understood why things had to play out the way they did. An impossible choice to have to make!I think this could have been outstanding as a duology or even one much longer book, just so everything didn’t seem to happen so quickly. A lot of things happen in this book, but the book’s length made it feel like everything happened in very rapid succession. Imagine if each of these scenes in Emma’s life had sufficient page-space to be developed, so that our emotions as readers could develop too? I would like to think that Emma was less flippant and wishy-washy than she came across here, but the length of the book didn’t give her enough space to have deeper thoughts or fully weigh out the consequences for her choices.Still, a brilliant story, and another one by TJR that really made me think.

Incredibly thoughtful & well-written novel about true love
Taylor Jenkins Reid has never let me down with any of her novels. Each one is written in an extremely easy to read style that ensures readers will fly through the pages; each one also happens to be laced with themes that are universal and thought-provoking. One True Loves is certainly no exception, as Reid seeks to present her own answer to one question: Is it possible to truly love more than one person? Now, I know my answer to this question, but I was eager to discover how Reid would endeavor to address it in this novel. And quite frankly, I thought she did a spectacular job. Writing about something this complicated requires a capable, confident hand, and that is precisely what Reid possesses.One True Loves tells the story of Emma Blair. In her twenties, she marries her high school sweetheart Jesse, and together, they make a life for themselves that involves all sorts of spontaneous adventures. It is on their first anniversary when Emma’s life changes forever – because Jesse goes missing on a trip for work. In an effort to regroup, Emma quits her job and moves back home where she begins working at her family’s bookstore. It is there she runs into an old friend, Sam, and she finds herself doing the impossible: falling in love a second time. But when Jesse is found alive, Emma now has to face an impossible choice.It sounds really dramatic, and yet, Reid handles the entire plot with a surprisingly light touch. Don’t get me wrong – there’s plenty of heartache and sorrow to go around, which is not surprising considering the plot. But, as with her other novels, Reid injects humor and joy into the tale, and that certainly balanced things out. It helps that Emma is a likable character, and I immediately felt a kinship with her. Her struggles were really hard to read about, her triumphs were easy to cheer for and I really found it easy to understand and relate to her. And I liked the secondary characters – adventurous Jesse, thoughtful Sam, Emma’s sweet family specifically – a whole lot too.But more than anything, I really appreciated Reid’s approach to the romance. Readers are treated to time with both of the men in Emma’s life – from the start of the romance to the state of these relationships in the face of the current conflict. I loved the perspective that this provided when considering how Emma should react, and it was incredible how Reid managed to also make me like both men (as individuals and for Emma) for different reasons. It was such a raw, honest portrayal of what such a situation could mean for everyone involved! I’m really impressed by how Reid navigated her story, and even more impressed by how she wrapped it all up in the end. (And no, I’m not giving you even a hint. Or telling how I felt in particular about these guys. You’ll need to read it for yourself, and then we can talk about it.)Reid continues to put out novels that are guaranteed to be reads that are impossible to put down, extremely compelling (in spite of the emotional turmoil) and extremely thoughtful explorations of some big, personal questions. I really admire her ability to get me to see so many different aspects of any given situation her characters find themselves in, and the way that she constantly challenges me to really think about things when I finish one of her stories. I’m definitely a fan of One True Loves, and will certainly say that it’s an excellent addition to the already published work from Reid. (And I’m very much looking forward to the next one, whatever it may be about!)

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!!!
“I am finishing up dinner with my family and my fiancé when my husband calls.”What an opening line!! What would you do if the person you loved and thought was gone, suddenly re-appeared in your life, after you had moved on? This is the center of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s fantastic new novel, ONE TRUE LOVES. From this powerful beginning, this story follows Emma as she must reconcile finding her long-lost first love with her new life and her new fiance, Sam.Emma and Jesse had been crazy in love and absolutely devoted to each other. They met as teenagers and ended up married and moving away from their small New England town to California. A tragic accident takes Jesse away, and after an agonizing period of mourning, Emma finds herself opening up to the possiblity of loving another man again.”I think that perhaps everyone has a moment that splits their life in two. When you look back on your own timeline, there’s a sharp spike somewhere along the way, some event that changed you, changed your life, more than the others. A moment that creates a “before” and an “after.” “Told from Emma’s POV, this book tells the story of how Emma and Jesse first fell in love. The author does an amazing job of creating very memorable characters who seemed very real. I felt like I knew Emma, Jesse and Sam and their friends and families. It is very important for me to feel connected to the main characters and I absolutely connected with all of the characters in this book. I loved how Emma grew and matured throughout this book and how her relationships with those around her changed and evolved as well.”Good things don’t wait until you’re ready. Sometimes they come right before, when you’re almost there. And I figured when that happens, you can let them pass by like a bus not meant for you. Or you can get ready. So I got ready.”I cannot think of enough to say about this gorgeous book!! Emma, Jesse and Sam’s story is so totally engrossing, you will feel like you are reading about your good friends. I cared deeply about what was going to happen to these three and was completely blown away by the direction this book took. This is a richly written, detailed story about first love, family, friendship and growing up. The ending is enormously satisfying and I found myself re-reading passages this book after I finished. I was not ready to say goodbye to these characters! ONE TRUE LOVES is certainly one of the best books of the year and one of new top favorite books ever. Don’t miss this one!!Favorite quote:”I don’t think that true love means your only love.I think true love means loving truly.Loving purely. Loving wholly.”

وصل بحاله جيده————تقييمي للروايه : 3.7⭐️مراجعتي ( فيه حرق ) :أول مره اقرأ لتايلور جينكينز ريد و التجربة كانت لطيفة ، للأمانه كانت عندي توقعات اني راح احبها اكثر من كذا لكنها بشكل عام جيدة.من بعد الفصل الأول كنت جداً متحمسه اني اعرف وش اللي راح يصير لكن الجزئية اللي بعدها كانت كلها ذكريات من الماضي و ما كانت سيئه بشكل كبير لكن برضو ما كنت مستمتعه تماماً بالقصة ، هالشيء تغير لما جيسي و إيما اخيراً صاروا بعلاقه ، وقتها بدأت استلطفهم و حزنت على الحادثة ، و بصراحه اكثر جزء حبيته من الكتاب هو ماضي إيما و سام لما التقوا مره ثانيه بعد سنين “غالباً لأنه اكثر جزء رومانسي من الكتاب”بعد رجعة جيسي كنت متعاطفه معاه لكن راح اكون اكذب لو ما قلت انه كان ينرفزني في بعض تصرفاته ، و انفصاله مع إيما من احسن القرارات اللي اخذوها.للأمانه لما اقتربت من نهاية الكتاب نوعاً ما بدأ يقل حماسي و عشن كذا ما قدرت اندمج في مشاهد كبيره مثل رجعة إيما لسام أخيراً ، كنت متوقعه انه اكون عاطفيه او انه المشهد يكون رومانسي اكثر لكن حسيته جداً مختصر و من بعدها ما كان فيه اي مشهد لسام! انا اتفهم انه المغزى من القصة هي مشاعر إيما و مفهومها عن الحب الحقيقي لكن كونها قصة رومانسيه فطبيعي اني افترض وجود مشاهد رومانسيه اكثر.حبيت انه اللغة سهلة و فيه بعض الفقرات كتابتها رائعة لكن مو متأكده بخصوص مشاعري عن طريقة تايلور في سرد الأحداث. كانت فيه نقاط تحول كبيره في القصة و كانت مكتوبة بشكل سريع لدرجة انه كان يصعب علي اني استوعب مشاعري و برضو كان فيه نقاط مو مهمة كثير لكن حسيت بتمطيط فيها! بس بشكل عام اشوف كتابتها جيدة.الأرتباط مع الشخصيات كان نوعاً ما صعب و هاذي مشكلة ما أواجهها كثير بالعادة لكنها صارت معي بهذا الكتاب و اظن انه السبب هي طريقة السرد. رغم انه قصة الكتاب بشكل عام محزنة لكن ما بكيت إلا مره وحده وهي لما جيسي كان يحكي كيف قطع اصبعه.أكثر شخصية تعلقت فيها هي شخصية سام! احب شخصيته و احب لطافته و مشاعره العميقة لإيما. ما اعرف اش هو بالضبط اللي يعجبني في هالشيء لكن دائماً “دائماً” احب اشوف رجل ما يخجل انه يعبر عن مشاعره بالدموع! و هذا سبب آخر يخليني استلطفه و اهتم لمشاعره.درجة استمتاعي بالكتاب 7.5 من 10
