So addictive! “Until” is my third and favorite novel by Jill Cullen so far — I believe it’s her best work to date. I couldn’t put it down and deeply enjoyed (and related to) Mae’s journey through love and life … and I couldn’t wait to see how it ended. A page turner with impeccable dialogue and a whole lotta heart!

I thought Soulmates was my favorite Jill Cullen book until...Until! I fell in love with each and every character and found myself rooting for all of their happiness. There was suspense, waiting for Van and Mae to finally connect at the right time. Humor and sadness struck a beautiful balance. I'm actually sad the book is over because I want these characters in my life, for John and Eliza to be my lifers. Must read. You won't regret it!

An excellent novel with so many unexpected twists and turns.
It made me think about my life to date and all the relationships that came my way. I loved how Mae and Van kept meeting up and I enjoyed their witty conversations. Everyone needs someone in their lives like this. I loved how much Mae learned from her relationship with Van, learned about her life, and what she truly wants. It was an excellent love story and I highly recommend it.

I don’t usually like the timeline jumping in short chapters like this, but it worked. It would have been great to have more detail about the locations and maybe more character development. I would like to have known a bit more about Van and John, their upbringings, etc. I would also like to know what was going through the minds of the characters as they briefly met with each other. I enjoyed the book, but I wanted more.

I’m afraid I’m in the minority with this book because I didn’t think it was a good read. The characters were not developed enough for me to even understand why Mae and Van were even bothering to try to connect. Character development seemed to me to be very shallow so I really couldn’t bring myself to care whether they’d get together or not.
