The Things We Leave Unfinished

The Things We Leave Unfinished

by Rebecca Yarros

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5



This contemporary romance/ historical fiction hybrid had everything I wanted and more!


Recent divorcee, Georgia Stanton is not in the mood for love and happy endings…  So when a hot shot author is brought in to complete her great-grandmother and famous author’s memoirs, Scarlett Stanton, she makes one caveat; no happily ever after. Its not what happened and she wants the truth, not another romance.


Noah Harrison knows what fans are expecting from the last , Scarlett Stanton book, a romantic HEA… if he can’t get Georigia to see things his way and trust him, it won’t only be his career that implodes.


As Noah works on completing the last manuscript, we see Scarlett’s romance unfold with RAF pilot Jameson Stanton as WWII kick into gear. Jameson and Scarlett have an instalove connection but sadly life doesn’t always provide a happy ending as in fiction.


Can Noah and Georgia learn form Scarlett and Jameson in order to hold onto their once in a lifetime connection?


Oh my! This book swept me away from the get go! I loved the back and forth story telling between current day and WWII setting. Such a fascinating juxtaposition! Sometimes it is difficult for an author to create a set of characters that you are rooting for and you get attached too, here I feel hard for both couples! At some points the two stories are very commented and at others it felt like I was reading two books, but throughout the whole book, I was all in for both couples and storylines.


This book was an emotional roller coaster in more ways than one. The stress and toll of the war, the complex relationships… in the end I shed a good amount of sad and happy tears. I loved everything about this book and could not recommend it more! This is a stellar romance!



The Things We Leave Unfinished by Rebecca Yarros is scheduled to release February 23rd, 2021.



I received a complimentary copy of this book from Entangled Publishing and NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
