“Just because something isn’t meant to last a lifetime doesn’t mean it wasn’t meant to be.”
Neki provedu cijeli život s krivom osobom, neki tražeći ljubav svog života, a neki poput Emme Blair u prvih tridesetak godina svog života dožive dvije najveće ljubavi života.
Jesse je njezina srednjoškolska ljubav i muž s kojim ostvaruje sve svoje mladenačke snove. Sve dok na prvu godišnjicu u nesreći iznad mora ne ostane bez njega. Slomljena srca sreće Sama, prijatelja iz djetinjstva, s kojim započinje novi život. I kada nam se čini da je konačno došlo vrijeme za Emminu sreću, Jesse se pojavljuje…
Kakva divna ljubavna priča. Naizgled nemogući odabir sa krajem koji sam cijelo vrijeme priželjkivala. T.J.Reid još jednom je stvorila odličan ženski lik koji me osvojio od prve stranice. Uz nju sam plakala, smijala se, ljutila i bila sretna. Reid je iz mene izvukla sve emocije i pokazala mi koliko dobro piše.
Ljubav(i) mog života prekrasna je priča o ljubavi i što nam ona zapravo radi, i nama i svima oko nas, koliko nas mijenja i koliko je drugačija u različitim fazama našega života. Drugačija, a opet jednako bitna i snažna.
Sa ovakvom pričom, likovima i emocijama Ljubav(i) mog života jedan mi je od najdražih ljubavnih romana.

One True Loves – Taylor Jenkins Reid
Some spend their whole life with the wrong person, some looking for the love of their life, and some like Emma Blair experience the two greatest loves of their life in the first thirty years of their life.
Jesse is her high school sweetheart and the husband with whom she makes all her youthful dreams come true. Until, on the first anniversary, she loses him in an accident at sea. With a broken heart she runs into Sam, a friend from childhood, with whom she starts a new life. And just when it seems like it’s finally Emma’s time, Jesse shows up…
What a wonderful love story. A seemingly impossible choice with an ending I’ve been wishing for all along. T.J.Reid once again created a great female character that won me over from the first page. I cried, laughed, got angry and was happy with her. Reid drew all the emotions out of me and showed me how well she writes.
One True Loves is a beautiful story about love and what it actually does to us, both to us and to everyone around us, how much it changes us and how different it is in different stages of our lives. Different, yet equally important and powerful.
With this kind of story, characters and emotions, One True Loves is one of my favorite romance novels.
