Why read it?

2 authors picked Things We Never Got Over as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I absolutely loved the Knockemout series. It’s both romantic comedy and romantic suspense, which is hard to pull off.

But what do I love the most? The southern-ish town. It comes to life in the pages of these books, as do all the characters. And the love scenes…oh my.

My BFF and I read these around the same time. We had so much fun talking about these characters and debating which man was the best (book boyfriend). Even now, I can’t decide. It depends on the day and my mood as to which one I love the most.

I hardly ever tackle a book that is over 500 pages, but I am so glad I did. It did not feel like 500 pages.

What is my book about?

A story you'll never forget about survival, forgiveness, healing, and love.

Twenty years ago. A plane crash. Three women survivors are inexorably connected by fate, destiny, and a cause. 

Julie Geiger, a flight attendant, told five sets of parents to place their babies on the floor of the plane when it was going down. Now, she must live with the consequences. Will changing the emergency rules bring her healing and forgiveness? And where does love fit into her life now?

Marie Stanley lost her baby boy on that flight. And she knows exactly who to blame. Julie. The problem is that vindictiveness festers. And eats into your soul. How will Marie learn to move past her hate and save her marriage in the process?

Paige Montgomery, the lap baby who survived the flight, would love to forget it ever happened. After all, she’s happy. And she’s on the cusp of a new relationship. How will she learn to forge her own path, one that integrates all the elements of her past, including the crash, the loss of her parents, and her subsequent adoption?

Did you know that lap babies (children under the age of two) are instructed to be placed on the floor of a plane during an emergency? Sounds crazy, but it’s true.

Julie Geiger, a flight attendant, told five sets of parents to do just that. Now she must live with the consequences. Will changing the rules bring her healing and forgiveness? And where does love fit into her life now?
