BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |  My take is that I wouldn't tell anybody to run and read this but I wouldn't tell anybody to steer clear either. (  ) hmonkeyreads | Jan 25, 2024 |  ) b00kdarling87 | Jan 7, 2024 |  I loved the very realistic portrayal of tragedy in this family, and I loved the timeline it was written in. Giffin did a fantastic job of keeping us in the present while letting us see what had happened fifteen years prior. It seemed that everyone involved felt partially responsible, which was heartbreaking, and made me want to reach out and talk to them.  The detail that went into characters made them all the more realistic and intriguing. The constant pull and tug between Meredith and Josie wanting to be a bit more like the other was really marvellous to watch. I loved Gabe and I loved the way his girlfriend interacted with him and Josie. I loved Nolan and the way he seemed so unchanging. All the minor characters, too, from an almost forgotten ex to a fertility doctor, were really beautifully written.  I felt that the ending was basically perfect, leaving strands open and closing the ones that really mattered. Nothing felt entirely forced, but there were plenty of opportunities for characters to move forward.  This book questioned the difference between loving someone and being in love with them, and the effect that losing someone at a young age can have on one's emotional maturity. While it focused on the relationship between the sisters, it also touched on friendship--platonic and romantic--and the random ties that can keep a mother in touch with a girl she barely knew.  Children also played a humongous role in this book--both sisters were quite maternal in their own different ways. Seeing Harper interacting with different adults was enlightening, and Josie's complete drive towards having a child was really passionate and fascinating as I couldn't relate.  I'd barely call this a love story, though it did have a lovely romantic subplot that kept me happy. This touched on so much more than love, and I highly recommend it.  I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

HTML:#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A pair of sisters find themselves at a crossroads in this dazzling new novel from the author of Something Borrowed, Where We Belong, and The One & Only. First Comes Love is a story about family, friendship, and the courage to follow your own heart—wherever that may lead. Growing up, Josie and Meredith Garland shared a loving, if sometimes contentious, relationship. Josie was impulsive, spirited, and outgoing, Meredith hardworking, thoughtful, and reserved. When tragedy strikes, their delicate bond splinters. Fifteen years later, Josie and Meredith are in their late thirties, following very different paths. Josie, a first grade teacher, is single—and this close to swearing off dating for good. What she wants more than the right guy, however, is to become a mother—a feeling that is heightened when her ex-boyfriend’s daughter is assigned to her class. Determined to have the future she’s always wanted, Josie decides to take matters into her own hands. On the outside, Meredith is the model daughter with the perfect life. A successful attorney, she’s married to a wonderful man, and together they’re raising a beautiful four-year-old daughter. Yet lately Meredith feels dissatisfied and restless, secretly wondering if she chose the life that was expected of her rather than the one she truly desired. As the anniversary of their tragedy looms, and painful secrets from the past begin to surface, Josie and Meredith must not only confront the issues that divide them but also come to terms with their own choices. In their journey toward understanding and forgiveness, both sisters discover that they need each other more than they knew—and that in the search for true happiness, love always comes first.
