They met each other as kids and she claimed him as her prince. He ran into her again and saw that she was taken. Now they are traveling cross country in a car much too small for his 6’3″ frame and he is loving every minute he is close to her. If only she could accept the love he wants to fill up her emptiness with. If she could stop feeling like she is cheating on her deceased husband and move past the sadness that encases her days she might be able to accept the love of this special man. When she runs into a man that shares a loss and his words of wisdom touch her deeply she may be on the way to mending her heart.
Great story of loss and found. Love the characters and the experiences. So much emotion and changes. This is my first read by this author and it was amazing. I do have more to read and can’t wait to experience more. The characters are real and the emotion is strong.
This story is so heartbreakingly real with the language of loss that my breath got caught a few times.
Kate wants a fresh start. Ryan is an old family friend who needs a ride. They are both going the same way so it makes sense to go together.
This story is written partly like a journal of grief and partly like a travel journal. It had me feeling joy and sadness and longing and angst. It’s romantic and heartbreaking and so many other things. A few times I had to pause to wipe my eyes and a few times I laughed out loud.
The characters are well written and the storyline flows perfectly. One of my favorite lines: “Focus on love. Focus on the amazing memories this book is filled with. The memories your heart is bursting with.”.
I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the rest of the series.

: 4.5/5
This book can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading this series in order if you plan to read them all: they are interconnected (and I loved that)!! Since I read all the books from the Start Again series I can 100% say this was my favorite from all of them. I just love Ryan and Kate and the road trip and how everything developed. Not only will Ryan and Kate go on a road trip, they will take you on a emotional rollercoaster as well. They gave me all the feels and I love how J. Saman puts the characters before the relationship. I love how she made sure Kate was ready for something before starting something new and I praise her for that. The character development was amazing and I also loved the side characters. I love the ending of this book it was really beautiful and heartwarming… I just wish there was a bit more of Kate and Ryan (tiny “spoiler” you will see more from them in the background and how their relationship develops in the other books in the series).
