Summary
You have five very different individuals that receive an invitation to an old New York Library.
Lexa’s story was interesting in that she could remain friends with her boss after the way he treated her.
Jett was a professor and tortured by the loss of his brother. He is also a writer with a very serious dilemma on his hands. It was also interesting
I enjoyed how we met Jett and Chuck in the beginning. Chuck had a difficult family situation. I found it interesting everything he could learn as a Uber driver.
Ed was the grandfather of the group wanting to write his love story.
And finally, Coral who may have been my favorite. She was the owner of her own cosmetic company that was having trouble. She had a great balance of business sense and a relationship with her dad. I think I related to her more than the others. Her claim to infamy was that she had left her fiancé at the alter.
Each of the individuals finally reveal their stories to each other. It is both heartbreaking and heart warming.
Some fans of Rachel’s may be surprised at the limited Christian themes in the book. However I felt Rachel was able to make her drive her point home very well.
Sexual content - wife cheats on her husband
Violence - a fist fight at a wedding
