While I thought Jesse and Emma’s life together was adorable and dream worthy, I loved her relationship with Sam a bit more because of the comfort he provided for her.
As much as I want to see the world, I’m definitely one to appreciate a homey lifestyle and the little things in life, so it was really cool to see Emma love her new life back home (Sam was also a very nice touch). I really liked Emma’s parents and seeing Emma build a stronger relationship with Marie, and I enjoyed how Emma was able to rebuild her life back in Acton.
I may or may not have enjoyed spending time with the Blairs a bit more than the focus on Emma’s romance dilemma (way to miss some the “point” of the story, Fangirl). Speaking of Blair Books, I loved Emma’s family and their love for the bookstore. Another one of my favorite parts of the novel was seeing Emma grow to love reading and the bookstore. I think my favorite section was Emma and Jesse’s love story, as I really enjoyed seeing Emma as a teenager and it was interesting to see how opposed she was to her parent’s dream of her running the bookstore with Marie. I liked how we had a section dedicated to Jesse and Emma’s love story, followed by Emma and Sam’s life together up to their engagement, with later parts obviously focused on Emma figuring out life post-Jesse’s return. My favorite aspect of One True Loves was the way in which Taylor Jenkins Reid separated the story into parts. Being a fan of adult contemporary books, I was more than interested in One True Loves when I heard its out of the ordinary plot. One True Loves is my first Taylor Jenkins Reid book, and I first heard about the book from Kristin of SuperSpaceChick.
**Warning: There are spoilers below for Taylor Jenkins Reid’s One True Loves** Being engaged to Sam feels great, until the unbelievable happens: Jesse is found alive. When she runs into an old friend, Sam, Emma finds herself falling in love all again. Despite what the seventeen-year old version of herself would have wanted, Emma goes back home to try to put life back together again. Emma’s life is everything she’s ever wanted until tragedy strikes on her first-year wedding anniversary: while on assignment, Jesse’s helicopter goes missing over the Pacific, and he’s gone forever. Summary:Emma Blair has accomplished most of her high school dreams before she’s thirty years old: left small-town Massachusetts for school in California with her high school sweetheart, Jesse, travels the world for her work, and married the love of her life.
