3.5 ⭐️

i was gifted this widget for an honest review, and upon reading the description i was intrigued! after getting about halfway through, i’ve chosen to not continue it but not because of the book itself! her writing was addicting and i did want to discover what happened, but life gets in the way and i do not find myself reaching for this soon. As such, i will not be providing a public review- thank you!

All The Men I’ve Loved Again by Christine Pride is a heartfelt coming of age story. Rounding up to 3.5 ⭐️ on this one.

Cora goes off to college, meets her ride or die girlfriends and finally starts to come out of her shell and figure out who she is. She also falls in love for the first time with Lincoln, a charming southern boy. She experiences the highs and lows that life and love throw at us. Amid these surprises, secrets, and an unexpected family emergency, she meets Aaron who seems to totally get her. Cora finds herself in love with two men and must make a decision.

Fast forward twenty years and Cora is still single but finds herself reconnected with the same two men, trying to make the same agonizing decision. She must dig deep to figure out who she really is and what she really wants.

I enjoyed the story of Cora and her two big loves. Cora’s relationship with her dad was really something special too. It was a bit of a slow start for me but I really wasn’t sure how the story was going to play out which kept bringing me back. There did seem to be a lot of focus on Cora’s relationship with Lincoln and not as much about Aaron so that felt a little unbalanced.

Overall I would recommend this for a nostalgic feeling read about first love, fate, and second chances.

Thank you to Christine Pride, @atriabooks and Net Galley for the ARC in exchange of a honest review.

I was invited by the publisher to review this book. Right off the bat, I loved the title of this book. The book takes place in two timelines involving Cora: one, in 1999, when she just starts college and is essentially looking to find herself. It is during this time she initially meets Lincoln, a first love with all of the ups and downs that encompasses, and then Aaron, with whom she has an instant connection. Cora soon realizes she has a problem as she is in love with both of these men. The book also takes place twenty years after this, when she unexpectedly meets both of these men again and finds herself in the same pickle she was in before - but how often do we get second chances at more than one love?

I loved the idea behind this book, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading how Cora grew into herself as a person and learned who she was. I liked exploring the idea that there is no "right" or "wrong" person for us in that sense, rather that going this way or that way is just a different path. I also really enjoyed some of this story unfolding through letters - it was a unique way of breaking up the story, and provided a link to the intimacy between Cora and Aaron.

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a good book! It was like a romantic comedy movie, Although that did come with some unrealistic scenes and things happening in the book. Overall it was entertaining and kept me engaged while reading

Took a bit to get into. Would have loved less Lincoln and more Aaron but I also understand the importance of Lincoln and Cora’s story. I would have also liked to see more of the Now part of her story, the end felt rushed.

Cora is torn between two men, Lincoln and Aaron. She meets them 20 yrs later and find herself in the same romantic dilemena.

I love Cora, Lincoln and Aaron. Terrific characters. I love how Cora has grown throughout the book. Terrific romance. I like the comparison of the two timelines and how the characters are different. Really enjoy it.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

Loved this novel!!!!! This was a unique spin on the love triangle plot in the way the author used timeline and unique storytelling for the second love interest’s story to unfold. Intentionally being vague so that the reader can enjoy the way this unfolded as I did reading it the first time. I will certainly be looking forward to what comes next from Ms. Pride!!! 5/5!!!!
