Book Blurb:
What would you do if the love of your life had no memory of you?
If you love Nicholas Sparks’ The Notebook, you will devour the heartbreaking, emotional storytelling of Jodi Perry’s Nineteen Letters.
_____
The 19th of January, 1996 . . . I’ll never forget it. It was the day we met. I was seven and she was six. It was the day she moved in next door, and the same day I developed my first crush on a girl.
Then tragedy struck. Nineteen days after our wedding day, Jemma was in an accident that would change our lives forever. When she woke from her coma, she had no memory of me, of us, of the love we shared.
That’s when I started writing her letters. The stories of our life. Of when we met. About the happier times, and everything we’d experienced together.
What we had was far too beautiful to be forgotten.
Nineteen Letters is available in paperback and ebook now. The ebook is currently only £1.99 and you can purchase a copy here.
My review:
Nineteen Letters is a beautiful, touching love story that will stay with me for a long time. I don’t read a lot of romance but I’m very glad I made an exception for this fabulous book!
The story is told from both Braxton and Jemma’s point of view in alternate chapters. This was very effective as it helped the reader understand each characters point of view and understand more about them as individuals. I really felt for both of them throughout the book and my heart broke to read about the seemingly helpless situation they find themselves in. It must be very hard to be in a situation involving memory loss and confusing to all involved as the sense of lost must be awful.
I loved the letters that Braxton writes which are made all the more touching and poignant for the old fashioned method of communication. I so enjoyed reading about their story through the years and discovering how beautiful and unique their relationship was. This made the realisation that Jemma had forgotten it all even more heartbreaking. It was lovely to read about the affect the letters had on Jemma and how they helped her recovery.
As you can probably tell from this review I loved this story and this from a woman who is a little cynical when it comes to these types of love stories. I once dumped a boy for being too romantic! The story just got under my skin and made me want to read more. It reminded me a little of PS I love you as this was another spouse trying to heal his partner and help them through a tough situation albeit for very different reasons. I think if you enjoyed PS I love you then you will enjoy this book.
Huge thanks to Millie Seaward and Little Brown for my copy of this book and for inviting me onto the blog tour. A definite must read for anyone, I challenge you not to be touched by this story!
