Sometimes your life is split by a single decision.
I’ve spent every day of the last seven years regretting mine: he left, and I didn’t follow. A thousand letters went unanswered, my words like petals in the wind, spinning away into nothing, taking me with them.
But now he’s back.
I barely recognize the man he’s become, but I can still see a glimmer of the boy who asked me to be his forever, the boy I walked away from when I was young and afraid.
Maybe if he’d come home under better circumstances, he could speak to me without anger in his voice. Maybe if I’d said yes all those years ago, he’d look at me without the weight of rejection in his eyes. Maybe if things were different, we would have had a chance.
One regretted decision sent him away. One painful journey bought him back to me. I only wish I could keep him.
*A contemporary romance inspired by Jane Austen’s Persuasion*
⭐⭐⭐ 3 Stars ⭐⭐⭐
A thousand letters was a story that made you feel and believe with all your might in second chances. It was emotional, heart felt, and it gave you the sense that if you truly love something and you let it go, fate will have it’s way of intervening and bring it back to you. But sometimes you have to wonder, at what cost?
“I’ve never understood why the heart always reacts. A shot of adrenaline is all it takes, triggered by a thought. A word. A memory. And every time the reaction is singular, a fingerprint of a moment.
Elliot and Wade have loved each other since they were teenagers and no amount of time or distance has changed that. Making a decision that ultimately altered their lives at just Seventeen, Elliot has never gotten over her love for Wade. Now seven years later, Wade has returned home and the quiet brunette he’s always loved is now a beautiful lyrically shy spoken woman who's never forgotten about him.
What happens your past suddenly collides with your present?
“I love you. You love me. Everything else is details.
Seven years ago, Wade's life changed the moment Elliot asked him to do one thing for her. It also didn’t help their situation that he was leaving for the Army and they wouldn’t be able to see each again for a long time. But with a love like theirs, no matter how hard you try, that love doesn’t go away. You can bury it, try to snuff it out, and put a substantial amount of distance between it, but NOTHING can make it go away.
“I could heal him, but he would ruin me. I would make that sacrifice without question, simply because he needed me, and I loved him.
I won’t go too much into into the story because I truly feel that you have to experience this author’s words for the first time and bask in it’s lyrical goodness. Did I agree with everything in this story? Unfortunately I didn’t and I had some pretty strong feelings towards these characters that made me extremely stabby. I HATED the way certain people handled things and I wanted the heroine to have a stronger back bone. But that's just me. Aside from that, I think readers who love a second chance romance, will enjoy this one.
