Everything After by Jill Santopolo

I love Jill’s books so much. They leave you with so many happy tears. This is one of my most anticipated reads this year and it’s finally in my hands. I’m fan-girling over here!

Thank you Putnam for my gifted copy in exchange for my honest review.

Synopsis: Emily has come a long way since she lost her two passions fifteen years ago: music, and Rob. She’s a psychologist at NYU who helps troubled college students like the one she once was. Together with her caring doctor husband, Ezra, she has a beautiful life. They’re happy. They hope to start a family. But when a tragic event in Emily’s present too closely echoes her past, and parts of her story that she’d hoped never to share come to light, her perfect life is suddenly upturned. Then Emily hears a song on the radio about the woman who got away. The melody and voice are hauntingly familiar. Could it be? As Emily’s past passions come roaring back into her life, she’ll find herself asking: Who is she meant to be? Who is she meant to love?

YUP. This is EXACTLY what I wanted it to be, and everything more. First love stories are my guilty pleasure. This is one of my most favorite stories yet! ALL the feels! The characters are just so real and raw – you can’t help but feel like you are Emily yourself! I wish I could read this all over again for the first time.
