When I requested One True Loves I decided not to read the blurb. I knew TJR writes a good story and I wanted to be surprised. You can understand my shocked face when in the first few paragraphs she says something like: I was with my fiancee when my husband called." Of course, I reread this sentence a couple of times until I realized there were no mistakes. I thought to myself: TJR sure can grab a reader's attention from the get-go. What follows was a story of loss and rebirth. It was a love triangle with features of Cast Away. I was thinking that Jesse probably was feeling like Tom Hanks when he comes back to land to find out his woman is with another man. 
 I love how involved I became with these characters and their back stories. I could divide the story into three parts: Emma with Jesse, Emma with Sam and then Emma, Sam, and Jesse together. I was torn between both guys. They truly were nice guys who loved her and they were perfect for her during a certain time in her life. I did have a favorite and I was hoping he was the last man standing. 
 Emma was a good character too. She spent the first few decades of her life trying to move away from her family and her town. When she loses Jesse, she finds comfort returning to her family and their bookstore. Her character evolves and she discovers she can be happy again. Meeting Sam again confirms it. But, when Jesse is back in her life, she has no idea whom her true love is. It's a road to self-discovering. 
 My only complaint with this book is that I felt like their conflict was solved to easily and Emma kept on going back and forth between both guys. Overall, it was a good book! 
 Cliffhanger: No
