Katrina Jackson

Miscommunication is difficult to execute well. I know miscommunication is an aspect of romance in general but that doesn't mean it has always succeeded in delivering well-crafted miscommunication stories. HOWEVER, it really worked for me in this book. Katrina Jackson’s use of flashbacks were just masterful. I cried a few times throughout because these two cuties just did not have the words or the bravery to speak up! And it pained my heart that they couldn’t find a way to say to one another the things that needed to be said! Earlier this year I read Back in the Day - also by Katrina Jackson - and it the flashbacks also worked effortlessly there.

Katrina Jackson is my favorite author and this story is a romance. Probably the best romance I, personally, have read. A beautiful, multi-generational story about a widower and the music and memories he shared with his wife. I was often moved to tears but I never once questioned if this book is a romance. I do not think a book has ever pushed me so hard to consider what an HEA can look like. I am so thankful.

After some ridiculous shit on twitter dot com, the author wrote rel="nofollow" target="_top">a moving post that I think should be read along with this book.
