The Things We Leave Unfinished: TikTok made me buy it: The enemies-to-lovers romance from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Onyx Storm Paperback – 24 Nov. 2022

Beautiful and heartbreaking story. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who loves a good romance!

This book was recommended by a very trusted friend in my Book Club, and as it tied in nicely with something we were watching for Book Club I decided to give it a go. As much as I enjoyed the love story of Scarlett and Jameson, I really wasn’t that into the parallel budding romance of Georgia and Noah. And so reading it initially was a bit of a slog because of the layout of the book. I’d read the Scarlett and Jameson chapter and then it would take me a few days to get through one Georgia and Noah chapter. I was so unimpressed by Noah in particular that I could never hold onto what his name was. I don’t know if the romance build up was too slow, or too unbelievable, but it just didn’t hook me the way the Scarlett and Jameson side of the story did. But that all changed around Chapter 30 when I couldn’t put the book down. I was still reading it at 2am even though I had work the next day. I won’t spoil it, but there are several things that happened right near the end that I not only didn’t see coming but was really emotional over. The final twist really had me reeling. So, what I would say is that if you read this book and find that you’re not fully enamoured with it, do keep going with it, because the ending is worth it.

Had me confused at first. The story within would have made it on its own. I had to keep reading, wanting to get to know what happened next. Loved it

The best book I’ve read in ages. Gripped from the beginning.

My favorite. Absolutely amazing❤️ I cried and laughed with them. That is my favorite book untill now from Rebecca Yarros

The Things We Left Unfinished by Rebecca Yarros is an captivating and beautifully written novel thaBlending an evocative dual timeline, it tells the story of Scarlett, a young woman navigating love during WWII, and Georgia, uncovering the secrets of her grandmothers life decades later. The characters are vividly drawn, the romance is heart-wrenchingly intense.Rebecca Yarros ability to weave passion, heartbreak, and hope into such a seamless narrative is truly remarkable. This is a story that tugs at your heartstrings, leaves you in tears, and reminds you of the enduring power of love. A perfect read for those who enjoy historical fiction with a contemporary twist.

I’ll be honest, I skipped a few chapters. While it features beautiful writing and a deeply emotional love story, the constant flashbacks didn’t work for me at all in the end. The narrative is split almost evenly between past and present, and just as the slow-burn romance in the present gained momentum, the timeline would switch, making me feel disconnected from the point of the story, which in my opinion was Noah and Georgia. Although it had caught me in the beginning, I struggled to stay invested in the 1940s love story after a few chapters. After setting the book aside for a few days, I decided to skip the remaining flashback chapters, which made the reading experience much smoother. So, while I’m giving this a 3.5-star rating.The present-day storyline follows Georgia, the daughter of renowned romance author Scarlett, whose own love story remains unfinished. Newly divorced and dealing with family issues, Georgia isn’t exactly in the best headspace to handle romance. But she agrees to let Noah, a writer with a talent for writing emotionally heavy books, finish her grandmother’s love story. Though Noah has never had a lasting relationship, Georgia and Noah unexpectedly begin to connect as they work together.This wasn't my first time reading something from this author, but it gave me mixed feelings, Rebecca's work thusfar that I have explored has blown me out the water, while every author has a hit and miss, this one was a slight miss for me. Her writing is compelling, and she knows how to pull at readers’ emotions and there are some powerful moments here, but the dual timelines here throw me off completely. I personally prefer contemporary romances, so the constant back-and-forth between timelines made it hard to invest in the historical love story, had it been a seperate book, I would have given those chapters all my attention. That being said, I was overall satisfied with the way it came full circle for Noah and Georgia.If you enjoy historical romance, you might appreciate the dual timelines more. This does not mean I did not enjoy this book. Noah and Georgia's storyline was something of pure persistent and love. A locked down Georgia and a "what will be will be" Noah balance each other out almost perfectly.

Loved the two intertwining love stories! It is emotional and by the end just couldn’t put it down. It’s very different from the Fourth Wing series with a totally different feel but really loved it!
