Nineteen Letters
Jodi Perry
Braxton
Nineteen. There’s something about that number; it not only brought us together, bonding us forever, it also played a hand in tearing us apart.
The nineteenth of January 1996. I’ll never forget it. It was the day we met. I was seven and she was six. It was the day she moved in next door, and the day I developed my first crush on a girl.
Exactly nineteen years later, all my dreams came true when she became my wife. She was the love of my life. My soul mate. My everything. The reason I looked forward to waking up every morning.
Then tragedy struck. Nineteen days after we married, she was in an accident that would change our lives forever. When she woke from her coma, she had no memory of me, of us, of the love we shared.
I was crushed. She was my air, and without her I couldn’t breathe.
The sparkle that once glistened her eyes when she looked at me was gone. To her, now, I was a stranger. I had not only lost my wife, I had lost my best friend.
But I refused to let this tragedy be the end of us. That’s when I started to write her letters, stories of our life. Of when we met. About the happier times, and everything we had experienced together.
What we had was far too beautiful to be forgotten.
Claire's Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This review is so hard for me to put into words and I just want to get out how amazing it is and how much everyone needs to read it, but pushing that point across without adding spoilers isn't easy when I'm so in love with it.
This is the story of Braxton and Jemma, whose lives were changed completely when Jemma is involved in a car accident and can no longer remember anything about her life.
The beginning of this book completely sucked me in like a magnet and I didn't want to put it down! This story is told in dual perspective so we get to see from both Braxton and Jemma's thoughts, which I loved. This was such an emotional and beautiful book and I loved every minute of watching Braxton and Jemma work to get back what had been forgotten.
I truely cannot imagine what it would be like to be in their shoes, but just the thought of the heartache, sadness and sheer confusion for the both was enough to bring me to tears.
This book is an absolute must read and I cannot recommend it enough.
