This is AI

The book blerb has nothing to do with the book.

Details are off - 11 months since the divorce but 7 months since Charlotte found out about her husbands pregnant mistress.

Making bread vs making pasta. Getting dropped off vs driving.

The deaths of miles parents that happened years ago but he just resigned his job because his parents died 3 months ago. But then he didn’t resign- he was just taking time off.

No pregnancy. Miles doesn’t disappear.

Sad part is that this book has some really cute dialogue and cute moments.

The blurb…

…doesn’t match the book. Significant things mentioned in the blurb don’t happen in the book. Timelines and ages also don’t match. The story itself could have been so good (for example if the things said in the blurb actually happened) but the deficiencies were glaring and made it a really frustrating read for me.

really good

The second book in this series was a distinct departure from the first, with the exception of Miles Cameron, who featured significantly in With You. I honestly hoped to see more of a carry over, but there are bits and pieces that hint at some of the previous book.

The biggest topic here is the devastating medical challenge that beset Miles, and secondly, the possibilities of an old love. It is sad, yet hopeful. Tense, but sweet. A love that transcends the present day, with young love that holds on for many years.

But there are many details of Miles’s journey that are heartbreaking and perhaps might trigger some. But it is so gratifying to see how Miles and Charlotte handle everything thrown their way with love and humor.

I loved this tearjerker of a story. This story is about Miles Cameron who was the lawyer for Nathaniel Sterling and his case to keep his sister-in-law from taking his child Millie after his wife and her mother died. I loved that this story was so true to life in its depiction of what life would be like for two people who were in love with each other in high school and went on to have their own separate lives for 15 years and came back together after seeing each other at their class reunion. We learn that Miles had early onset dementia and the story centers around that. I really enjoyed the idea of a person from the first book in You, Only You Series was in this story. This story was wonderfully written I would definitely recommend this story.

Good story, but don’t go by the description

it was a good book, but the description is misleading. There are a few mistakes, where the author will say, she went somewhere with somebody and when she goes to leave, her car is there. Minor but still not written well. Also half the description doesn’t happen in the book, so while the book ends, your left hanging. Her first book was well written, but because of this I’m not going onto the next one in the series. The description definitely needs to be changed. While there is a HEA., it’s a different story from the description.

Miles and Charlotte

This was a second chance love story.
It isn’t a easy story but a story of resilience, forgiveness, determination and love
The author did a great job describing some of the symptoms and challenges that a person with a debilitating condition has and how a caregiver can help them overcome their fears and live again, find laughter again and hope.
Harper you penned a lovely story and one I won’t forget anytime soon.
Thank you

confusing but good

there’s quite a few inconsistencies in the timeline and especially the blurb like others have mentioned. the timeline is hard to follow and i kept having to read back to see if i missed something along the way but that wasn’t the case. it could be a really great book otherwise but i had to force myself to finish it and i only did because i was waiting for the part mentioned in the description which never happened.

80,000 Words Next Time

A wonderful story which is its saving grace why I gave it five stars. Its downfall? The book was TOO short, as was the first one. Short stories that are more like novellas, are the bane of my existence. I try to avoid them like the plague. I don't ask for lengthy novels, such as Stephen King's "The Stand," Michener's "Centennial," or Gabaldon's time travel series. But something in between is nice. Just sayin'.

This was a book of love, loss, health issues & renewed love .. Nurse Charlotte and Attorney Miles reconnect at a high school reunion. Once high school sweethearts, they meet again, each with their own issues but anxious to see one another again. This time, there isn’t a foe that you would think in thisn book.. but they both have to fight together when Miles faces struggles. A good love story all around.

learning to love

These are not anatomy lesson romance books. They’re about the relationship and how hard life can be sometimes. Did I want the miracle to show up? Yes. Did it? No. But something even better was there. No misunderstandings. Great story telling. A must read for anyone who’s married especially if things are tough sometimes. These two are brilliantly written.

confused

I’m not saying this is a bad book I’m just very confused :( why would you write a blurb stating very specific events that don’t even happen in the book?? I find that extremely strange. I kept waiting for it to happen which actually ruined the book for me. I strongly suggest editing your blurb to keep it true to the story.

I loved their witty banter. But book 1 was much more engaging.
I know this is Miles, the attorney from the first book. But not even a single word about the main characters from that one.
It was a nice and easy read about a difficult medical diagnosis.
But endlessly rehashing a lost 15 years got tiring.

good read

It was an enjoyable book, but one distraction for me was when her friend Beth drove them to the class reunion, talked in the car, walked in together, but then at the end of the night she drove her own car home? Sometimes it’s just the little things that make a book not the best. Details matter.

heartbreakingly beautiful

This is a story that sits with you long after you’ve finished reading it.

It shows the real side of something so hard and terrifying and shows you that even when it gets hard, that it’s terrifying, love stays with you.

Such a beautiful story and such a great one on subjects that hit so close to home for so many people.

this read like it was written by AI. math was not mathing (example: she's 35 attending her 15 year high school reunion, mentioning the last time they saw her was when she was 17) also glaring inconsistencies such as her friend drove her to the reunion but she drove herself home? I finished it but only to find out how bad it really was

skip

I liked the first book in the series okay so decided to read this one right after, but timelines were so jumbled and there were so many things that just made absolutely no sense that I wish I had skipped it. I thought about not finishing, but I was at 50% and powered through.

Words are nothing without actions

Just because you say “I love you” don't mean you do. Words are nothing without sacrificing your time, efforts and being present. Amazing story and great read.

2.5 stars. Had potential. Now that I think of it, I think this was written by AI or the author needs an editor. Nothing written in the blurd is in the book. Their 35 yrs going to a 15 yr high school reunion. She graduated on time. The math ain't mathing.

I was invested in this story from the start. Miles and Charlotte have a love story like no other.  They had obstacles from teenage years then 15 years later at their reunion they reconnect. Was their road easy No was it worth it Yes.

Beautifully written

This novel broke and healed my heart many times over. Love isn't always a fairytale, often it's hard days and harder decisions. But it comes down to making the choice every day to love the person as they are. Thank you for writing this beautiful story

Doesn’t match the description

This was good, but it doesn’t match the book preview. There is no disappearing or pregnancy. I was really hoping for that. It kind of felt incomplete.

The dialogue was good and was the strongest part of the book. However, too many loose ends, too many peripheral characters who didn't move the story line along, and just not enough movement for the main characters. Every time a problem developed, even major ones, just wait a chapter and ... poof ... all better. Also, the chronic conditions weren't really dealt with. For five years, this guy never thought to maybe use his other hand to pick up his coffee cup? A book version of a nice nap -- not unpleasant, but not very productive, either.

Wholesome story, about real life.

Not a lot of sparks but totally relatable.

Recommend if you want a love story.
