Cute story about moving forward after lost love!

Reminded me a lot of “Forever, Interrupted” by Taylor Jenkins Reid at the beginning, but the book ended up taking its own shape.

I love that, for her, moving on from her boyfriend’s death didn’t mean finding a new man. Often times “moving on” is taken to mean that you have to find someone new to be with. But moving on can also mean traveling through your grief on your own and finding yourself.

I also liked that she let herself grieve even though their relationship lasted “only” 5 months. A lot of people in her life didn’t completely understand how she could be so upset, but she didn’t let that get in her way.

One thing I will say is set your standards before going into this book. It’s not a romance. It’s a story of love and grief and moving forward for yourself.

Chloe's boyfriend of five months, Jack, is killed in an accident, before they get a chance to meet many of the big relationship milestones. Chloe had been truly in love for the first time in her life, and is left reeling after her loss. Though many aspects of this story reminded me of PS I Love You, I felt that Love, Almost had enough differences to make it a unique story. For instance, the idea of Chloe and Jack's relationship being so new and untested before she loses him. I really enjoyed Love, Almost, and felt that it was a fresh and unique take on grief and the main character finding herself in the wake of a disaster.

I requested this book on the premise it would similar to PS I Love You but I found it was too similar and I just kept thinking of the book and movie.
This book was enjoyable and I liked the characters enough. If your looking for a quick, lovey read that will probably make you cry then this is your book!

I read an advanced copy of Love, Almost by Hayley Doyle. This book really reminded me of Ps I love you. Chloe loses her soul mate Jack, and has to learn to live without him. This book was ok, I prefer my books with less swearing. If that does not bother you, then you will probably enjoy this book.

So many emotions! The early tragedy is heart wrenching but it is soon transformed into something brave and powerful. The fact that this character takes control of her own life and has the courage to do this alone brings a sense of inspiration to what could have been a simple love story with a tragic end. The narrative moved around a bit so I did find myself flicking back a few times to check where things were up to.

Ugh I my heart feels so bad for Chloe, she meets , who she thinks is the one, only to lose him almost 6 months later. Then she has to come to terms with living without him. Chloe needed a break from her break from her life. The story was interesting, some of the characters annoyed me to no end, and sometimes the flashbacks confused me. I did like however how the author hinted with all the guys that Chloe meet in the book, that they “could” be the one to help mend her heart, but at the same time shows that Chloe, needs to learn to do this by herself.
