I thought the ending was great, I usually like Rebecca Yarros’s work but I think as a whole, I realized I like romance in the context of fantasy and don’t really like the genre as a standalone. <br /><br />The book is well written and the title is beautiful. The storyline is also beautiful. Sometimes the way the book is structured (Letter | Real Life) would break the immersion a bit but that’s the only criticism I had.

Told in alternating timelines, THE THINGS WE LEAVE UNFINISHED examines the risks we take for love, the scars too deep to heal, and the endings we can’t bring ourselves to see coming. Twenty-eight-year-old Georgia Stanton needs to start over. Having survived a brutal and very public divorce, she’s back in her tiny hometown of Poplar Grove, Colorado, hoping to find her footing. She may have been raised by one of the greatest romance writers of the twentieth century, Scarlett Stanton, but she knows love in the real world is nothing like her late great-grandmother’s novels. Noah Harrison has been given the opportunity of a lifetime: complete the last unpublished manuscript written by his favorite author. The only caveat? Her fiery, beautiful great-granddaughter has to agree with him...and she doesn’t. Not that he’s qualified as a huge bestseller in his own right, and especially not that a happily-ever-after is the right way to end Scarlett’s story. With his publisher’s deadline breathing down his neck, Noah sets off for Colorado to try to convince her. The deeper Georgia and Noah delve into Scarlett’s passionate, World War II romance with American fighter pilot Jameson Stanton—and the letters they left behind—the harder they’ll have to fight their own undeniable attraction. But there’s a reason Scarlett could never bring herself to finish the manuscript, and discovering the truth will bring them into a love story spanning two lifetimes: a journey of danger and sacrifice, loyalty and secrets, tragedy and, ultimately, the healing power of love.

Certainly a plot twist at the end there! Storyline kept me entertained, but wish we had more meat on the bone with Georgia and Noah’s relationship

I loveedd this book. It brings you a lot of emotions while reading it.

I had a hard time getting hooked on this book because I'm not a big fan of two different stories in one book but the ending alone makes it worth reading. Rebecca never disappoints with the plot twists in her books.

The most heartbreakingly stunning romance that had my heart aching every time I picked it up 💜

Sydney Burns

Holy crap I have never cried so hard to a book. At one point, I had to set it down and walk a lap. I have never read a book like this that switches between these perspectives and times, and I thought it was done beautifully and seamlessly. The story is amazing and broke my heart so many times. The ending had me sobbing and my jaw was on the floor.  Definitely recommend.

Absolutely adored this book. Had me falling in love not once but twice (if you read the book, you’ll know what I mean by that). I ugly cried for the ending. I NEVER expected it. 10000/10, recommend !!

i'm gonna be honest i didn't read any of gran's chapters or letters i just didn't find it in me to care about her and jameson

Slow to start but the last 100 pages were really good. This boom taught me that I like historical fiction so I’ll definitely look into that more.

This book and absolute no right to be this sad and beautiful and perfect all at the same time.

it was a sweet story, I enjoyed it overall. It just didn’t pull me in and took forever for me to finish. The twist in the end did surprise me a bit tho 

Gaby Menendez

oh my god, I was shocked, petrified, and heartbroken within those last 80 pages. God, their love story—both, was exasperating I cried several times (merely due to constant spoilers on tiktok), but omg my heart was played with I swear.

this book at first I had hated because it was really slow paced and I couldn’t understand it between the different POVS but now after finishing it I love it. The love story and the way the story ends we’re not what I was expecting and honestly so well written 

zonaira parsa

Stunning book! Loved the parallel between present & past times, between the book I was reading and the novel alluded to in the plot. Unexpected twists made it all the more memorable. Read it!

This is an absolutely gut wrenching love story with an ending I couldn’t have predicted.

Georgia met Noah, the arrogant good looking author who's in charge to finish her great-grandmother’s final novel, and while they are on their journey to finish the novel, Georgia and Noah revealed a secret that Georgia's great-grandmother had kept all these years.

Listen, I'm a his-fic freak, and this book; I'd sell my soul to experience reading this all over again.

I love how the event setting sets in both the present and past (World War 2, Air Battle for England), and how the two settings connect to each other throughout the novel. The plot reminds me of The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, but it's a completely different style of writing and POVs.

Love letter? Sign me up because boy, I'm a sucker for love letters in novels.

Also, I cried so so bad, like 4 times I guess and it was HARD for me.

I'd recommend this book to everyone who simply enjoys a hopeless romantic trope. 

I'm listening to the Glimpse of Us, Joji while writing this.

5⭐, and beyond.

Unnecessarily long but I loved Noah and the plot twist at the end .
