In “Swear on This Life” by Renée Carlino ($15), Emiline has left her troublesome previous behind. As an adjunct writing teacher, she’s effectively attuned to the literary world. However when a mysterious debut fiction novel begins making the rounds, she begins to learn it, solely to find it is primarily based on her very actual previous — which implies the writer should be her childhood finest buddy and old flame, Jase, whom she hasn’t seen in additional than a decade. Will she be sturdy sufficient to confront him?
This guide was truly my gateway into the entire angsty, second-chance romance theme and what led me to find “It Ends With Us” within the first place. Similar to Colleen Hoover’s guide, this story unfolds in current day and thru flashbacks, however with a twist: the flashbacks of Emiline’s childhood are revealed as Emiline reads Jase’s novel for the primary time, so she’s discovering the story similar to we’re because the reader. The guide inside a guide format is completely different, however the feels are the identical — it is uncooked and emotionally wrought, and sure, you’ll cry.
