Two families are in shock and grieving for the death of Stu, a young man they all loved deeply. He was the son of two of them, Ted and Gerrie. And he was Sunny’s boyfriend, the love of her life. Her parents, Durk and Aleen were very fond of him as well.

Big thanks to Booksparks for sending me this book as part of their FRC2017 program!
Honestly, the description sounds a little like a soap opera...and at times, the book felt eerily similar to one. Or maybe I've read too many books recently with people grieving, but I don't think that's my issue with this book really. I've been racking my brain to figure out why I didn't connect with it, and I'll try to work my way through tha ...more

Love Reconsidered is a must-read! It is obvious the author puts a little of her soul into every story she writes. Otherwise, the characters wouldn’t tug at the reader’s heart so. When a novel grabs me and carries me through every emotion, even on multiple reads, I know it’s a good one. After tragedy befalls them, these characters literally have to reexamine their lives and reconsider what love is to them in their new reality. There is at least one character we can all relate to in some way, and

This book was a 'beach read'. The writing was very basic, but the storyline was interesting.
