About this item

Told in alternating timelines, THE THINGS WE LEAVE UNFINISHED examines the risks we take for love, the scars too deep to heal, and the endings we can’t bring ourselves to see coming.

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 just as arrogant in person as in interviews, and she’ll be damned if the good-looking writer of love stories thinks he’s the one to finish her grandmother’s final novel…even if the publisher swears he’s the perfect fit.

Noah is at the pinnacle of his career. With book and movie deals galore, there isn’t much the “golden boy” of modern fiction hasn’t accomplished. But he can’t walk away from what might be the best book of the century—the one his idol, Scarlett Stanton, left unfinished. Coming up with a fitting ending for the legendary author is one thing, but dealing with her beautiful, stubborn, cynical great-granddaughter, Georgia, is quite another.

But as they read Scarlett’s words in both the manuscript and her box of letters, they start to realize why Scarlett never finished the book—it’s based on her real-life romance with a World War II pilot, and the ending isn’t a happy one. Georgia knows all too well that love never works out, and while the chemistry and connection between her and Noah is undeniable, she’s as determined as ever to learn from her great-grandmother’s mistakes—even if it means destroying Noah’s career.

I’ve never had a book tear me apart like this. A beautiful , tragic, inspiring love story that left me struggling to breathe. Beyond worth the read

slow going but the end was worth it

This is a slow burn. I almost gave up half way through, but I stuck it because I love Rebecca Yarros’ other books that I have read. The ending made me cry. It was a wonderful book.

What an emotional ride!!

Wow. Just, wow.

So I went into this blind. I knew there was a divorce from the first few words in the synopsis I accidentally read, but that was literally all I knew.

I cannot remember the last time I cried so hard reading a book. It was such a beautiful, though heartbreaking, story. My review will in no way do this book justice, or adequately convey my feelings about it. I can’t seem to gather my thoughts cohesively, so this will be scattered. I have so much to say, but also don’t want to give any spoilers.

These characters stole my heart. Both men are truly swoon-worthy. While Noah’s previous “bachelor” ways are briefly (and more vaguely) mentioned, both men are gentlemen. The women show strength and intelligence. But all have moments of vulnerability.

This was my first Rebecca Yarros book, so maybe it’s how she typically writes, but, I loved the way the spicy scenes weren’t overtly explicit. They were still somehow very passionate.

There was a point in the book that I wasn’t loving the flashbacks, or rather the placement of them. They happen at such inopportune times. Just when I’m catching my stride and getting into the story, we go back in time. And the same happens in the past timeline. I get into it, and we jump into present again. I understand the reason for it stylistically, but it was still frustrating. That said, I realized about halfway through the reason it felt this way is because I loved all the characters so much. It wasn’t like one of those multi-POV books where I didn’t like this person and couldn’t wait to get back to someone else. I just genuinely was so invested in them all, in all the stories, that it was hard to break away once immersed.

The way the puzzle pieces come together kind of blew me away. In hindsight, it all made sense. Really, I enjoyed her writing style immensely.

PAST
At one point, my notes say “Is this a historical Romance?! I think I could love it.”

I love the romance of that era. Her modesty and morals. There’s just such a sweet innocence about it.

While a wartime romance isn’t for the faint of heart, I enjoyed the sense of urgency it created. The unknown of tomorrow. The way it matures a person, living through that.

I found myself wishing I understood more about the politics of the time (though admittedly that could very well be my own ignorance, and not that anything was missing from the book). And more of the particulars of what Scarlett and Constance were doing in the WAAF.

PRESENT
Georgia and Noah’s banter was fun. The care he shows her throughout the book is next level. He sits her down and reverses roles. He makes her tea. He explains how he won’t let her fall if she climbs.

OH MY GOD!!! I will never read something as amazing as this again!!! and

This book was ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!!! I couldn’t put it down, the love between Jameson and Scarlett was so beautifully written, I love it it’s like I was reading two different stories. The story between Noah and Georgia and then the life of Jameson and Scarlett. I loved everything about it, it was beautiful, sad, funny, and overall an amazing book to read. I teared up in so many parts and the ending, I just didn’t expect it at all but it was AMAZING. When I tell you I LITERALLY woke my husband up out of a dead sleep just to tell him how it ended!!! Agh I’m just sad it’s over now I’m in a slump, I’ll never find anything as good as this!!! ^insert sad face^

What a twist! Fell in love with all the love!

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2024

Damn! Rebecca Yarros has done it again! This might be my favorite book by her yet, and yes, that includes the Empyrean Series. This story deserves all the hype it gets!!! Just loved all the love! Kudos to the author for managing to not only write two timelines and two love stories together but also throw in a mind-blowing plot twist that I didn't see coming! Simply phenomenal!
Scarlett and Jameson have my freaking heart. And I was rooting for Noah and Georgia too. Loved all the characters. They were strong but still human, still flawed and so they were relatable.
This book evoked all kinds of emotions. I felt love, anger, grief, heartache, betrayal... you name it. The pacing was perfect despite the two parallel timeliness. Never felt dragged or too fast to follow either.
I would recommend this book to all romance lovers. It literally has everything you need from a love story. It was poignant but ends with a 'happily ever after'. ????????

Worth The Read

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2024

Even if you aren't into romances, this is a good read. Not overly romantic with a twist at the end. A little slow for a bit but v glad I stuck with it.

The most amazing ending

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2024

Call me clueless but I never saw it coming. I read a lot and am hardly ever blessed with a book that makes me gasp and clutch my heart in joy and amazement at the author's story but this one was so worth the read! So well written from beginning to end. A book to be proud of, for sure! Bravo!

Okay Rebecca Yarros, okay.

Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2024

Romance as a genre usually bores me, but wow. This one really got me feeling some type of way.

I’m usually a fantasy girly- I’ve read both Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, so I can say I’m a fan of Rebecca Yarros’ work. I’ve never really thought twice about reading her other books (I’m just sitting here patiently waiting for Onyx Storm heheh). I’m trying to get out of a reading slump so I thought why not. Let me give this one a shot.

It had elements that I enjoy and keep me interested- the letters and alternating timelines really made sure I didn’t get bored because I was trying to analyze EVERYTHING and trying to find parallels in each timeline to see where the story was going.

There were definitely some quotes and scenes that resonated with me, especially experiencing heartbreak myself recently. It was truly healing to see how Georgia was able to overcome that heartbreak and learn how to trust again.

Overall such a great read- gut wrenching, tragic, but doesn’t leave you empty, in shambles or unsatisfied ;)
