The Things We Leave Unfinished

Description

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 has to start over after she gave up almost everything in a brutal divorce--the New York house, the friends, and her pride. Now back home at her late great-grandmother's estate in Colorado, she finds herself face-to-face with Noah Harrison, the bestselling author of a million books where the cover is always people nearly kissing. He's just as arrogant in person as in interviews, and she'll be damned if the good-looking writer of love stories thinks he's the one to finish her grandmother's final novel...even if the publisher swears he's the perfect fit.

Noah is at the pinnacle of his career. With book and movie deals galore, there isn't much the "golden boy" of modern fiction hasn't accomplished. But he can't walk away from what might be the best book of the century--the one his idol, Scarlett Stanton, left unfinished. Coming up with a fitting ending for the legendary author is one thing, but dealing with her beautiful, stubborn, cynical great-granddaughter, Georgia, is quite another.

But as they read Scarlett's words in both the manuscript and her box of letters, they start to realize why Scarlett never finished the book--it's based on her real-life romance with a World War II pilot, and the ending isn't a happy one. Georgia knows all too well that love never works out, and while the chemistry and connection between her and Noah is undeniable, she's as determined as ever to learn from her great-grandmother's mistakes--even if it means destroying Noah's career.

It’s not often that a book leaves me in a state of shock and surprise like this one did. Despite my guesses and suspicions of other things, nothing could’ve let me to learn what I did about the characters in this book. I fell in love with the character who I thought was Scarlett, and then fell in love again with the character I found out to be Constance. It’s a beautiful story of choosing your ending, despite your fear, and not giving that up for...read more

I love this book so much I’d give just about anything to read it again. I spent the last 50-100 pages, having tears streaming down my face. It’s worth everything

Our club had mixed reviews on this book! We'd heard amazing things so went in with high expectations. We did enjoy it for the most part but found a lot of it to be fluff. The twist at the end brought the rating up a few starts for our group but the book as a whole just felt a little eh. We loved the past love story between Scarlett and Jameson though! And the sister bond between Scarlett and Constance!
