Did I enjoy this book? I really liked this book! The book starts with the funeral for Aimee’s fiancé. He died in a tragic accident just a few weeks before they were to be married. The story follows Aimee as she tries to rebuild her life and move on. When she receives some mysterious signs that her fiancé might not actually be dead, she goes on an international spree trying to find proof once and for all. This has all the good stuff from a romance AND a murder mystery. This kept me turning the pages, eager to see what was going to happen next. I loved the characters, I loved the plot, I loved everything!

 

Would I recommend it? Absolutely! I was thrilled when I realized there’s a sequel. I can’t wait to see what happens next!!

 

About the book – from Goodreads: A luminous debut with unexpected twists, Everything We Keep explores the devastation of loss, the euphoria of finding love again, and the pulse-racing repercussions of discovering the truth about the ones we hold dear and the lengths they will go to protect us.

Sous chef Aimee Tierney has the perfect recipe for the perfect life: marry her childhood sweetheart, raise a family, and buy out her parents’ restaurant. But when her fiancé, James Donato, vanishes in a boating accident, her well-baked future is swept out to sea. Instead of walking down the aisle on their wedding day, Aimee is at James’s funeral—a funeral that leaves her more unsettled than at peace.

As Aimee struggles to reconstruct her life, she delves deeper into James’s disappearance. What she uncovers is an ocean of secrets that make her question everything about the life they built together. And just below the surface is a truth that may set Aimee free…or shatter her forever.
