I can blog about two amazing books in one day. I decided today was not going to end until I finished, Before Ever After. This is a very unique story. If you enjoyed Time Traveler's Wife, you will enjoy this book. I know Jersey Girl will love this. It is not about Time Travel. I took this quote from the author's site: The books is a modern fairy tale about true love, happy endings, new beginnings and everything that happens between.
This book is not for everyone. It is not a classic romance novel. It is about many romances that bring Max and Shelley together. Three years after Max's death, Shelley answers the doorbell to find someone that looks so much like Max it takes her breath away. It is not Max. The shocking story is that it is Max's grandson. Max was not old enough to have a grandson.
The book jumps time periods as Shelley tells Paolo how she met Max and Paolo tells Shelley the history of how he came to be at Shelley's door. Every story Paolo tells is about love lost. I am still not going to call this a romance novel. Trust me, it is unique.
Now the Old Lady cannot rate a book a 5 unless the ending knocks her socks off. This ending was a good one. It is also an outside my box read. I love when I read a book that I know everyone will be talking about. Reliable Wife was one of those books for me too.
Millhouse - The love of your life might enjoy this book. Not because it is a love story. Because it is a unique story. Tell him I have not let him down yet.
Highly recommended, rated a 5 because that is as high as my rating goes.
