My Review:

I was excited to finally get Rosalie and Zev's story. This is the fourth in the series, and I highly recommend reading the other books first.

I struggled with the beginning of this book. *spoiler ahead* My main problem is that the main character has amnesia, but refuses to let people tell her about her memories unless she asks. She has her reasons, and they are valid. However, after 65% of the book this way, it gets old. She should want more answers and be reintroduced to her friends (in my opinion, but obviously, I haven't gone through what she has).

Poor Zev is determined to get his Rosalie back. He is very patient and caring, and I loved that he never got frustrated with her. He never blamed her; it was clear that no one was happy with the situation, and I loved the distinction.

I loved the last part of the book. I enjoyed how it came together, and I loved the epilogue. This book is heavier than most of Jen's books because of the amnesia. There are some lighter moments, but overall, it's not your typical romcom. I did enjoy the book, but I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much if I hadn't read the rest of the series first.

★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):   

She needs time. He needs a miracle.

Rosalie doesn't remember getting a teaching degree, her best friend’s wedding, or meeting Zev. In her mind, he simply doesn’t exist. Instead, she’s stuck with panic attacks, people who swear they know her, and the unsettling realization that six years of her life have apparently gone missing.

Moving to a new city, she’s determined to keep her head down, survive the anxiety, and maybe win her memories back from the universe.

Instead, she finds herself hiding out in books in her favorite café looking for solitude. Tall, redheaded, and buried in a novel, is almost always sitting across from her. He’s got broad shoulders, a handsome face, and absolutely no interest in bothering her. Perfect.

And yet… he feels oddly familiar, like a page torn from a fantasy she doesn’t remember reading.

Zevulun, however, has no trouble remembering.

He shows up at the Sugar Pine Café every Monday for one reason. Her. Rosalie is the love of his life. The woman he was building a future with. And now she doesn’t recognize him.

But Zev knows her inside and out. He knows her favorite foods, her favorite books, and that one very ticklish spot at her hip. He’s going to use all that knowledge to remind her of what they had, to give them their second chance, and to get his girl back.

It may be a long, painful wait, a treacherous journey, but Rosalie is worth every step.
