During World War II, British debutante Scarlett fell desperately in love with an American flying ace, Jameson. After moving to Colorado with their young son, Scarlett became a bestselling romance author, despite the sad ending to her own love story. Some 70 years later, Scarlett's great-granddaughter Georgia is grudgingly working with top writer Noah Harrison to finish Scarlett's final unfinished novel, which happens to be her own story with Jameson. Known for his heartbreaking "poignant"endings to romantic stories, Noah is determined to give Scarlett and Jameson the happily-ever-after they deserve (and Scarlett's readers have come to expect), while recently-divorced Georgia wants something truer to life.
I was pleasantly surprised by this dual-timeline romance novel, which I expected to be sappy and weepy (I mean, look at that cover!). It was certainly emotional and came with a heavy heap of generational drama. But it also had a lovely twist and featured a pair of relationships that I could really get behind. Guess this one proves the old adage: don't judge a book by its cover.
