Beautiful. Stunning. Atmospheric. Enjoyed wholeheartedly. The romance was heart gripping but it was the story as a whole that costumed my heart.

THE ONES WE LOVED is an elegant and beautiful book, effortlessly moving between timelines and characters in an ultimately captivating and thoroughly satisfying story. While slightly more complex than your average commercial fiction, this novel is richly rewarding and it pulls the reader in right away. I will look forward to more from this author. Kudos to the publisher for being willing to publish a wonderful work of art that will stand the test of time, partially because it is not crafted to the same old commercial blueprint, but rather breaks new and innovative ground.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance e-galley; all opinions in my review are 100% my own.
