There are no words to describe how beautiful this book was. From beginning to end, as a reader, you are swept off your feet with a story of what it means to be in love and to be loved, the depth of strength through loss and the power to choose the narrative of our happily ever after.

After a high profile divorce and practically giving up everything, Georgia Stanton finds solace in retreating to her great grandmother’s home in Colorado, hoping to start the next chapter of her life. Little did she know that would involve bestselling author, Noah Harrison. When an unexpected proposal is brought to the table involving her great grandmother’s last novel, Noah is the last person on earth that she wants it to have anything to do with it. Despite his reputation and declaration of his devotion as a fan of her novels, it doesn't matter. All Georgia knows is that no one could do her romance novels like Scarlet Stanton but herself.

With the opportunity of a lifetime and touching what seems like the holy grail of Scarlett Scranton novels, Noah is determined to prove that he is the only and right person for the job. With a bit of persuasion and an ultimatum on the table, he gets his shot to prove he can give not only give Scarlett the ending she deserves but change his preceding perception in the eyes of Georgia. By the way, just a little tease, the novel won’t be the only thing he works on in the book.

Told through dual narratives, we get to see Scarlett’s untold love story put together through the eyes in the present through her letters and manuscript. Her story contrasting the ones she created uncover loss and secrets from the past that affect the present. In the process, Noah is faced with the dilemma of following his heart or not and putting his career in jeopardy.

Overall, I loved the book. There is something about novels that involve this time period that draw me in instantaneously. Not only was the plot beautiful but the subplot of the book involving the relationship between Scarlett and Constance is definitely worth talking about. These were two strong female characters whose strength, loyalty and resilience to the obstacles they overcame were attention grabbing. I also will mention my love for the parallel favor of Georgia and her great grandmother. To be literal, the title suggests the sentiment as if her unfinished story was meant to be the beginning of the next chapter for Georgia.

I always love the dual narrative especially regarding this book in particular where we discover the past through personal letters and in this case her novel. It gives us a more intimate connection to the characters. The connection between Georgia and Noah through this experience is one that will make you smile. I can’t say enough how wonderful this book was.I would recommend adding this to your TBR pile.
