From its first page this book had me hooked on the emotional roller coaster of Rachel Miller's predicament. After she finds herself in the spotlight when love letters from her high school boyfriend (now movie star), Jack Bellow, are leaked to the press by her husband, Rachel reunites with him for the first time in decades. As a married mother of two and successful lawyer in a rocky marriage, she finds herself torn-- try and save her marriage or explore feelings for her childhood love? And it was a page turner right to the end and surely movie material!
As a lawyer and suburban Mom this book particularly called to me. Saunders shines in her first novel, with a gripping story line, a well-developed character arc and delightfully readably prose. We are sure to see her names on the shelves (and perhaps on the screen) for a long time to come....already eagerly awaiting her sophomore effort!

Great Debut Novel
Debut novelist Jessica Saunders has written a novel that I had me hooked from the very beginning. Rachel is a busy lawyer who thinks that making partner and coping with an inattentive, unappreciative husband are her biggest problems. Then she is blindsided when a tabloid prints old love letters and risqué photos from her high school romance with the boy who became one of Hollywood's leading actors. As she deals with all the personal and professional fallout, she is also given a hance to reconnect with her old flame. The dual timeline moves back and forth from her youth in the 90's to present day. The three main characters are extremely well developed. Although this book has been labeled a second chance romance, it is so much more. Rachel has a chance at love, but she also has a second chance at rebuilding her own life. Although their is a fair amount of humor, this is no fluffily rom-com. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator, Emily Ellet is a fine voice actress who can differentiate the characters quite well. There is just enough alteration in her voice to portray the male characters believably. This audiobook will keep you entertained! If you get the print book, you will not want to put it down.
