    “I chose you before I even knew I had a choice” - Scarlett

    Past (WWII):
    Dynamic Scarlett will experience an intense love amidst the war. Her story is full of passion, loss, and decisions that were never completed.

    Present:
    Georgia, Scarlett’s granddaughter, tries to publish her grandmother’s unfinished manuscript. To succeed, she is forced to collaborate with Noah, a cynical but intelligent writer. Their relationship starts with clashes, but as they delve into Scarlett’s story, they grow closer and confront their own “halves.”

    A book that from the very beginning walks you through two timelines.
    The successful blend the author achieves with past and present manages to elevate the emotional weight while also adding a note of curiosity and mystery throughout the story.

    The truth is, the grandmother’s story is more moving and wins you over. The granddaughter’s story comes to deliver a beautiful message, but the roots of our stories are clearly in the past.
    The grandmother’s story is one of those powerful loves that deserves to be written in books and in the end leaves you with a bittersweet taste but also a sense of relief.
    On the other hand, the granddaughter’s story didn’t speak to me as much, to be honest. It was a relaxed, mostly verbose story that I think was overshadowed by the grandmother’s story, but I understand what it wanted to offer us.

    The plot twist—because obviously Yarros without a plot twist DOES NOT HAPPEN—was very fair and surprising. I don’t think anyone expected it and it really comes out of nowhere, giving a different weight to both our stories.

    I recommend it to all the romantic souls who would prefer letters over messages and who would choose pick-up over Spotify ?

    Until the next book recommendation

Description & Specifications

TWO ENEMIES. A HALF-FINISHED MANUSCRIPT. A GREAT LOVE.

28-year-old Georgia Stanton is making a fresh start after a tough divorce that cost her almost everything – her home in New York, her artistic dreams, and her trust in people. However, returning to Colorado and her great-grandmother Scarlett Stanton's house, a renowned author of romantic novels, will change everything in her life.

When Noah Harrison, the child prodigy of contemporary American literature, takes on the task of completing the unfinished swan song of Scarlett Stanton, his ambitions clash with the memories and traumas of Georgia. Finding a fitting ending for the book of his beloved author is a significant challenge, but confronting the beautiful, stubborn, cynical great-granddaughter is something entirely different.

The chemistry between Georgia and Noah is undeniable. Yet, as they unravel Scarlett's story, Georgia confirms that things in love never go well. She must keep Noah at a distance not only from herself but also from her great-grandmother's manuscript.

Read an excerpt

"Here." I put my credit card in and walked toward her counter.

"Where is your number?" she asked, extending her hand with a smug, satisfied smile that hadn't changed much since high school.

"I'm the only one here, Juliet." I could feel exhaustion hitting every nerve in my body. If I could just be done with all this, I would curl up in my grandmother's big office armchair and ignore the world for the rest of my life.

"The rules say..."

"Come on, Juliet, stop." Sophie walked into Juliet's office and shot her an exasperated look. "I have Georgia's papers, anyway. Go take a break or do whatever you want."

"Alright." Juliet moved away from the counter, giving her place to Sophie, who had graduated a year before us. "I'm glad to see you, Georgia." She gave me a very sweet smile.

"Me too." I flashed her the practiced smile that had been stuck on my face for the past few years and kept me together while everything around me was falling apart.

"Sorry about that." Sophie made a face, scrunched her nose, and adjusted her glasses. "She’s... well, she hasn't changed much. Anyway, everything looks fine." She handed back the papers I had received the previous afternoon from my lawyer along with a new social security card, and I put them in the envelope.

While my life had fallen apart, the material manifestation of that collapse was neatly arranged at a forty-five-degree angle. How ironic. "I didn’t read the agreement, or whatever it is," she said calmly.

"It was in Celebrity Weekly!" Juliet sang out from the back.

"Not all of us read that trash!" Sophie snapped over her shoulder, then gave me a sympathetic smile. "All of us here are very proud of the way you kept your head up through... all this."
