Jamie Cluff: Like We Used To, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

When Quinn Clark pictured her life at fifteen, she didn't imagine she'd be a widowed mother of two, moving back to the same small town of Pine Grove she always used to resent. She didn't imagine that she'd constantly feel like she's never doing enough and that she's doing too much all at once. After five years of grieving, she's finally ready to make a fresh start and open herself up to new experiences for herself, and for her kids. Six weeks after moving home, none other than Rivers Thomas, her high school best friend, and let's be honest, first real love comes waltzing back into her life, placing Quinn in the center of a crossroads she didn't ask to be in. Does she take the road with the man whose tan skin, blue eyes, dimpled smile, and a tattoo to drool over are somehow the least attractive things about him? Or does she cement herself in her life as a widow, despite the pull inside her urging her to move forward?

For Rivers Thomas, involving himself with Quinn, the woman he's been in love with for half his life, comes with a lot more baggage now than it did when they were young. She has two kids, trauma, and the guilt of other people's expectations weighing on her shoulders, but Rivers has always been up for a challenge, and, maybe more importantly, ready to be whoever Quinn needs him to be. Told between the past and present, Like We Used To explores the complicated dynamic of grief and guilt, love and forgiveness, and how the people and experiences that shape us etch themselves into the constellations of our lives.
