What is a book that you would recommend as a good book club read?
Georgia Stanton has just gone through a brutal divorce. Back home in Colorado, she is going through her best-selling author Great Grandma Scarlett’s estate and learns that author Noah Harrison has been signed by the publisher to finish Scarlett’s unfinished manuscript. Georgia thinks Noah is arrogant and not the right man for the job. As they read Scarlett’s manuscript and letters, sparks fly between them, and they fight how to end the novel. It’s based on Scarlett’s real WWII romance with a pilot which did not end happily. Should Noah end the book with the sad real ending or the happy ending that were the trademark of Scarlett’s romance novels?
My thoughts on
this novel:
· This was the August selection for the Rogue Book Club. We all read this book and enjoyed it. It prompted a good discussion.
· It was an engaging audiobook with great narrators.
· I enjoyed both the contemporary and WWII romance.
· I loved Jameson and Scarlett’s romance. Scarlett wants to marry the man she loves and not the man her parents want her to marry to save the family estate Can you really move on when your one great love is killed in WWII?
· Noah was able to help Georgia move on from her terrible divorce and to truly heal.
· Scarlett and Constance were sisters who were always there for each other.
· I would classify this novel as historical fiction, historical romance, dual timeline, and contemporary.
Overall, The
Things We Leave Unfinished by Rebecca Yarros was a compelling historical and
contemporary dual timeline novel.
