Maybe that’s the gift you get for being brave.”

Consuming and heartbreakingly profound. These are just two words that comes to mind when I was blown away by the raw and stunning prose of Taylor Jenkins Reid in One True Loves. This is the second book that I have read from Ms. Reid and it definitely won’t be my last. Ms. Reid has truly cemented herself as an author who I will be keeping my eye out for since her stories has a way of bringing out a multitude of emotions and makes you really think and evaluate life, love, second chances, and everything in between.

If you read the synopsis of One True Loves, the story itself is pretty explanatory but the amount of emotional depth, honesty, and heartbreaking moments is what truly makes this book stand out. Ms. Reid goes beyond the typical love triangle and angst as she allows her readers to absorb every facet of emotions that the heroine endures and the two men that she loves.

What happens when the man you love dies in a tragic accident? After years of mourning the loss of your husband, you move on and find love again the second time around? But what happens when the man you loved who you thought had died is back alive and has been searching for you? Can the heart have two true loves? Or is there only one true love for everyone?

I honestly don’t want to spoil the book for the readers by giving away who Emma chooses in the end because this book is one of those reads that you must read and experience. Experience the love, the heartbreak, the loss, the confusion, and most importantly experience the honesty of what the heart and mind wants.

 photo a93ecc42f321f94ee92bb6bf8c56ab_zpsjs5nzcfh.gif“I am a woman that dares to love again. I finally love that about myself. It’s messy to love after heartbreak. It’s painful and it forces you to be honest with yourself about who you are. You have to work harder to find the words for your feelings, because they don’t fit into any prefabricated boxes. But it’s worth it. Because look what you get: Great loves. Meaningful loves. True loves.”

This book. This author. These characters. This story line. These raw emotions are what truly makes this book an utterly beautiful book. LOVE is a four letter word. Simple to spell but hard to define. And the beauty of this book is that Taylor Jenkins Reid breaks everything down for readers. She puts into perspective of what truly matters in life. There is no right or wrong answers. There is no perfect solution for everything. Love is messy. Love is complicated. Love is beautiful. But in the end, the only answer that you need to ask yourself. What do you want? And for Emma, she found her answer. Her truth. Her love. So can there be multiple one true loves? I guess the only way for you to find out is to go read this book. Get spellbound and struck in this devastatingly heart wrenching and profound beautiful story of love. Embrace the many facets of love and see that true love transcends time and space.
