Rebecca Yarros

A new heart-wrenching novel from bestselling author Rebecca Yarros that examines the risks we take for love, the scars too deep to heal, and the endings we can’t bring ourselves to see coming.

The Things We Leave Unfinished

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 Noah Harrison has been given the opportunity of a lifetime: complete the last unpublished manuscript written by his favorite author.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.

Beautifull but only the last plot really made it worth it, the rest was pretty boring. I loved the love story in the past though

frustrated me at times because of the characters' choices, but that's exactly what made them feel so human and realistic. i felt emotionally drained in the best way tho

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.

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 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 💜

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 !!

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

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

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!
