Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
For fans of David Nicholls’s One Day and Liane Moriarty’s What Alice Forgot, here’s a page-turning novel about a young woman who is torn between two men, and who must determine where—and with whom—her future lies.
Emma is just days from marrying her childhood sweetheart, Richard. But what should be the happiest time of Emma’s life takes a turn for the worse when, on the night of her bachelorette party, tragedy strikes. Thanks to some quick thinking from a stranger, Emma is pulled free from a totaled car before it goes up in flames. But another passenger is not so lucky.
The wedding is postponed as family and friends deal with their shock and grief. But soon, secrets come to light that have Emma questioning her relationships—and her engagement. Making matters more complicated is the emotional connection she feels with Jack, the mysterious man who saved her life. It’s a crisis no bridal magazine has ever covered: What do you do when, on the eve of your wedding, you find yourself in love with two men?

“This book delves into Emma’s emotional journey, exploring the complexities of love, loss, grief, and healing amidst intertwined hurt, trauma, and who to choose when it comes to love.
Now, the book isn’t one of my favorites, but I did enjoy it. The story aspect certainly intrigued me from the beginning. The book is a mix of sadness and hope, and it has the potential to be quite shocking. I noticed things quite early on, but the way the story unfolded, I wasn’t always right about my thoughts.
The loooong chapters: Personally, I find long chapters, especially in romances (I don’t know why), challenging. For instance, one of the chapters was about 52 minutes long. I prefer faster-paced chapters in romances.
I found the ending different, it wasn’t what I expected lol, but I believe it perfectly aligned with the main characters.
Overall, it was an easy and enjoyable read.
