“So, Nick said, gaze on his menu, “how have you been?” “God,” I laughed. How do you even start to reconnect after 12 years? Ellis doesn’t hold back in showing just how awkward this reunion can be. I was laughing so hard at their awkward reunion. Of course you’d want to be looking your best when you run into the love of your life who broke your heart but, oh poor Zora. OMG the first time Zora and Nick saw each other after 12 years was down right hilarious. “…after twelve years of empty, aching absence, of wondering and worrying, of resignation and sadness…he was here.” Is it enough that someone had good intentions behind their actions even if those actions hurt or were meant for good? I think that’s a really good question that Zora has to struggle through. But one night, Nick up and left, only leaving a note, until he returned 12 years later. This was a second chance love story between Nick and Zora who had grown up together and had planned to marry at age 18. Not only do you fall under the spell of a beautiful love connection between two people who had once lost that connection, but Ellis also gave them some really great concerns to work through. The writing flowed beautifully taking you along with what could have been a simple story, but instead you really sink into it and let it unfold. This did not read like someone’s first foray into putting pen to paper. If this is Hope Ellis’ first novel then I am SO, SO very impressed with this woman because she can write. There is so much to love about this book….where to start? The Writing Nick and Zora Forever! I absolutely loved this book by Hope Ellis and wonder where she’s been hiding all my life? The Lefferbees series is already a favorite of mine and I only hope Ellis is writing the next one as I need it stat! Tags: Second Chance, Billionaire Kindle | Apple Books Rating : ★★★★★
