Emmas Herz

Sarah Campbell

When you love someone, it seeps out of everything you do, it bleeds into everything you say, it becomes so ever-present, that eventually it becomes ordinary to hear, no matter how extraordinary it is to feel.

One True Loves

A beautiful and complex story about an impossible situation; I was rooting for everyone! I was invested in this story and characters.

A Novel

There is something about TJR books that sucks me in completely. I devour her books. This one was another fabulous read. I loved how this ended too. A certain part of the story was a bit far fetched, but it was the emotions and situational circumstances that were just written so brilliantly, and so it didn’t really distract. I Loved it…………. Now tempted to finally dive into daisy jones and the six. I know, I’m a decade late to the party!

It is a great concept, but I didn’t feel as drawn in by the writing and character development as I have by other TJR books. Great to see Acton landmarks being called out though, RIP Julie’s Place :(

Perfect if you are looming for a storyline straight out of a 90s romcom, but Jenkins Reid’s sharp emotional insight elevates the boom into something genuinely compelling.

Thanks, I’m sobbing. Maybe because I’ve been going through something very similar. But, was this not real, and something you can take with you in life moving forward. 

A good book but I knew from the start she would pick Sam. I did. Tear up a lot throughout

This was my firs TJR read and i’m definitely gonna check out the rest of her books. This book was heartbreaking and for awhile i wasn’t sure who the FMC was going to end up with. Wasn’t looking forward to being happy for one and sad for the other. near the end it was very clear and i was rooting for their happiness. in the end it was a happy ending for everyone and that’s all that matters

This one was so good. I really enjoyed reading this book and while I feel like I’ve heard the plot of this book before in a movie or a different book. I was curious to see what would happen by the end of the book but also predicted what was going to happen too. So while I figured what would happen I still enjoyed the book and the rollercoaster story that I definitely recommend for everyone to read.

i was kinda disappointed reading this, i felt like i shouldve felt more connected to emma but the writing left me feeling disconnected and like i was an outsider looking in. it was hard to feel what was happening and even if the storyline is predictable it couldve been executed better. 

what i DID like was the point of how you can change, multiple versions of you can exist in a lifetime and that is not contradictory at all. two things can be true at once!

this book breaks you in all the best ways. taylor jenkins reid, you are simply amazing.

c’est quand que tjr arrête de me faire chialer toutes les larmes de mon corps ???

this book is a whole package. 11 out of 10. but one thing if i really could change is, to get a lot more moment with sam, it feels so unfair to me how the majority plot was about jesse than it is about sam. i miss him more now than i ever be. i need some parts of him for me to take home to, to love him more, to praise him, to remembering how selfless he'd be. but yes, other than that, it's magnificent. this book teaches me a lot. like, a lot.

if this book ended with a polyamorous relationship, i wouldn't be mad

“True love doesn’t always last,” I say. “It doesn’t always have to be for a lifetime.” “Right. And that doesn’t mean it’s not true love,”

Gahhh this was an emotional rollercoaster! I am glad I picked this book again after putting it on hold for almost a year. Very beautiful story that teach me some people are not destined to be with us for all eternity, and even relationships are over it doesn't have to mean we didn't love or care about them anymore; we do, but in different way, because people change, we change. And that's okay.

** spoiler alert **
           Just because something isn’t meant to last a lifetime doesn’t mean it wasn’t meant to be. We were meant to have been.

I think it's predictable who Emma will end up with from the first chapter, which doesn't matter as the conflict was still interesting to read. But Emma's actions confused me like if she's already decided to be with that guy then why is she sleeping with another guy? 🤷‍♀️

A tug and a pull on the heart strings. The audiobook got me good and I like the narrator (she does a lot of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s books)

“you can’t capture love in a bottle. you can’t hold on to it with both hands and force it to stay with you.” yeah…. tjr you have done it again! 3.75 ⭐️

what would you do if your husband came back after you thought he was dead? what would you do if he called you while you were at dinner with your new fiancé?


i would have no idea how to react. i got upset with emma for how she went about it, but i can’t even really blame her. she was put in a rough spot but she made it work. i absolutely loved both love interests & i didn’t know who i was rooting for! even now that i know who she ends up with, i’m still not sure if i’m happy about it. the book was a wild journey but i’m so glad i finally got a chance to read it. i ended it with tears streaming down my face 🥲 taylor jenkins reid has done it again
