The Things We Leave Unfinished
by
Twenty-eight-year-old Georgia Stanton has to start over after she gave up almost everything in a brutal divorce—the New York house, the friends, and her pride. Now back home at her late great-grandmother’s estate in Colorado, she finds herself face-to-face with Noah Harrison, the bestselling author of a million books where the cover is always people nearly kissing. He’s ju

The Things We Leave Unfinished is an excellent book with two great love stories. This book is emotional. The book alternates between Scarlett and Jameson’s love story during World War II and Georgia and Noah in present day Colorado. Yarros pulls the reader into the story and then switches back and forth between both stories in a way that makes it impossible for the reader to put down. This book is an emotional roller coaster. The whole book leads up to a crazy twist that I didn’t see coming. Bes

I don’t think there are a lot of readers who would not acknowledge the amazing writing of Rebecca Yarros! It is gripping and emotional!
I was anticipating and had the best intentions for this new release.
There were two completely different, yet beautiful, love stories unraveling in this book.
One in the 40s, where the main couple was Jameson and Scarlett and the other in present time with, Scarlett’s great granddaughter, Georgia and Noah.

ABSOLUTE BEST READ OF 2020!
There are two absolutes every time I read a Rebecca Yarros novel.
1. I WILL cry. Most likely multiple times.
2. Among the pages, I will find the most inspiring lines.
Along with those two absolutes are the always evolving main (and secondary) characters. In this case, all four main characters leaped off the page and demanded my undivided attention. Yarros pens story to paper so intricately you can practically see it unfold in your mind.

The Things We Leave Unfinished is a true timeless masterpiece. A book that will resonate in your soul and be long remembered.
I am a fan of the author and like knowing that she lives in Colorado and half of the story takes place there and is so beautifully described. She is also knowledgeable about military life making the book all the more real to me. I can't imagine living through a war, and felt on every page as if I was there.

I need to sit Rebecca Yarros down on the naughty step and make her sit there until her legs go numb.
Then I am going to tell her that she can keep sitting on that naughty step until I forgive her for using ass and block and fix you a coffee (who broke the coffee?).
This isn’t just a book, it’s a book within a book and I loved both of them equally. Scarlett Wright meets Jameson Stanton an American airman stationed in the UK and they fall madly, deeply, totally in love. The world is torn apart by W ...more

* A TRULY TIMELESS READ*
I am having the toughest time summing up a novel as astronomical as The Things We Leave Unfinished. I am completely gobsmacked to the point of heart breaking - happiness. The magnitude that this author took this novel to, that she took these characters and their storylines to is something so profound that I honestly could not even justify this book with every word in the dictionary.

We all seem to have some dysfunction in our family but poor Georgia coming out of a divorce and moving back to Colorado into her Gran's home. Scarlett Stanton is a widely loved romance novelist and Georgia's grandma.
Her mom, Ava, is the ultimate manipulator and only ever wants money from Georgia. She is already at Gran's when she arrives in CO so this is a bad start. Throw in that she is pretending to be Georgia, trying to sell the rights to Scarlett's last book and profit from it.

You ever finish reading a book and are so overcome with what you read that you just don’t know how to process, let alone move on? It was hours since I read that last page and was still rooted in the same position not knowing what to do.

You’re right. Love – the good, the real, the life-changing – is rare. You have to fight for it..’
There’s a saying – ‘write what you know’ and when it comes to military stories with pure heart-driven emotion, Rebecca Yarros really knows how to put her heart and soul into her stories. Something which is evident in The Things We Leave Unfinished – an emotional and exquisitely told love story within a love story. Faultlessly shifting her worlds between the horrors of WWII and present time. ...more
Okay. It’s official. I am having the worst reading month and it is all thanks to this MASTERPIECE. I kid you not, it’s been weeks since I’ve read it and I can’t stop thinking about it. I haven’t read anything of substance since. I don’t want to let it go.

Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!
This book is so amazing and I am so emotional, and torn apart in this amazing story.
Yarros deeply engrossed me into this novel about 28 yo Georgia Stanton, who has hit rock bottom and having to start all over and leaving NYC after a brutal divorce. Georgia ends up in her grandmother Scarlett Stanton’s estate in Colorado.

Dear Rebecca Yarros, why aren't more people talking about your amazing books?
Because this is a truly amazing book. I didn't know you could write so beautifully. The story surprised me, made me cry, made me laugh, made me swoon. I am so emotionally raw after reading this fantastic book. I can't stop crying in thinking about some of the passages.

OMG, I simply could not put this book down once I started. I typically don't like stories that bounce back and forth between two different time lines, however Rebecca Yarros made the transitions so seamless that I hardly noticed them. I was immediately drawn to all of the characters, but especially Georgia. Her first interaction with Noakes (and many others afterward) had me cracking up laughing. The dual like ve stories between Georgia and Noah and Scarlett and Jamison were both breathtaking an

It is really hard to put into words what I feel about this story by this amazing author. I know that I will be engaged with a Rebecca Yarros book but something told me to slow down and savor this story, enjoy what was on the written page because it was going to be something epic. And, it was.
From the beginning, I was entranced with this story. From the first meeting to the final letter, I couldn’t help but wonder and hope. I was amazed with the twists and turns and with the final published story ...more

In The Things We Leave Unfinished, Rebecca Yarros beautifully weaves an emotion-packed story of unrequited love, loss, and commitment. Two interconnected stories come to life seamlessly from the past to the present. One story is unfinished, and the other story might be writing itself in real-time. Is chasing the ultimate happily-ever-after ending just the beginning of new love or a path to certain heartbreak?

I feel as if I have been on a journey that has kept me mesmerized, broken my heart, put it back together, and just left me reeling from emotions. This book just became my first six-star read of 2021. It snuck up on me. In the beginning, I will admit, I was struggling a bit with the transitions between the stories of two couples, in two time periods, and dual points of view for each, and the addition of letters. It was a lot at first. But I got more and more sucked in not ...more

Yet again Rebecca Yarros has shown her skill and prowess with beautifully presented manipulations of the written word. She can produce just about anything with her trusty pen, typewriter or computer.
In The Things We Leave Unfinished we have not one but two stories of love, running concurrently and seamlessly regardless of being set in two very different eras.

"Once again Rebecca Yarros shows me why she will always be one of my go to authors. There is no exception with The Things We Leave.
You have two love stories that are running along one another seamlessly, even with being set it two different eras. Two wonderful love stories that weave into one another effortlessly.

Rebecca Yarros is one of the best romance writers. Her books are so perfectly written with so much depth and emotion that I anticipate reading them as much as I dread it. I have to read them and I know I will love them and rave about them and 5 star them every single time. But I also know I will break while I read this book. I will need to be left alone with my emotions and tissues while I wait for Rebecca's writing to put me back together.
