I was so excited to start reading this book , I loved the Unraveling series . I wanted to see what the author would do with the next generation . The author didn’t disappoint at all . She took the characters and added such a depth to them . The twists and turns will keep you turning the pages. There are all the characters from the original series . There are moments that will have you tearing up and then there are the times you will be fanning yourself cause your kindle could be melting . I truly loved this story and if you want to read this story I suggest you read the Unraveling trilogy so you can get to know the rest of the clan before diving in . Check out and add to your summer reading list .
A fantastic inspiring story full of mystery, suspense, hurt, love and second chances. I really enjoyed the story and how heartfelt and warm it was. The characters were interesting to read and I loved Michael’s growth and journey.
this book was really great! he wanted everything with her. until she sent him a dear john letter saying she cant marry him cause of the familys past. so he heads out with his best friend to another state. thats where he meets his best friends sister. read to find out what happens.
I’ve enjoyed other books by T. SEDERHOLT and I enjoyed this one also.
Michael seems to have everything a person could want until something until
a letter changes all that unexpected happens. Weddings are supposed to be a happy occasion but Michael receives a Dear John letter. This letter that contains things a person could never wrap their head around. He decides that he has to get away from it all and moves to the U.S.. He never thought he would meet someone like Dagen. Both need to learn that getting out of what is comfortable for each . The characters are wonderful, , caring, (in their own way) and this book made me think about how life can drown a person with all the cr@p it can give. But also that surprises come up that can bring a person to another way of life that is better then before. Happiness can come from tragedy , you just have to believe in others and yourself. I recommend ready the unraveled series from the beginning.
For Michael he thought he had his life planned out.
He was going to marry his long-time girlfriend and he and his best friend were going to start their own business.
However, even the best laid plans never go according to plan.
A week before he’s to be married his fiance breaks things off in a “Dear John” letter, but to make matters worse she informs him of secrets that he never knew and his family kept from him. While his family does have it’s secrets he never thought the ones he was informed of could change the way he saw himself.
Dagen has lived in a box with an unpenetrable wall surrounding her heart. In her own way she likes predictability and the stability her job has provided for her. But when she meets Michael things slowly start to change, and she finds herself stepping out of her comfort zones and the walls around her heart breaking down.
I was caught, hook, line & sinker, from the first page of this story. However, I don’t know if this book is actually part of a series or not. I felt that there is so much to this family, with their heartbreak and secrets, that I was missing things that might’ve been explained in other books. For instance, why wouldn’t Raven go back to the States? What is the deal with Max and Jax’s father besides him being a bigamist?
While this story is all about Michael and Dagen, I feel you could understand and get the full story on why the family is the way they are if there are other books and they are read prior to this one.
One woman’s rude mistake.
Life definitely should be lived for today. Those stuck wallowing in the past should be left there. Yes, it is what built us. Not what truly defines us though. All it takes is actually appreciate the Now. Magic happens when we do.
