When You Were Mine
IS A SECOND CHANCE AT HAPPINESS WORTH RISKING EVERYTHING? EVEN A BEST FRIEND?
Susannah has been living with Doug for eight years, acting as stepmother to his three unappreciative children and wondering why she doesn’t mind much when he sometimes sleeps in his study. She’s known her best friend Amelia since they were teenagers. Amelia never minces words, and Susannah doesn’t like hearing what Amelia has to say about her noncommittal relationship.
At her brother’s wedding, Susannah runs into Rob—her first love, the love of her life. There’s no band on his ring finger, and Susannah begins to fantasize. Her fantasies turn to reality when Rob gives her a call. Susannah’s world is rocked by her rekindled feelings for Rob, then totally turned upside down by a revelation from Amelia. Just when Susannah and Amelia need each other the most, they are facing a crisis that threatens to tear their friendship apart. Without her familiar guiding star, Susannah must finally make some hard choices in order to grow up for good, no matter who or what she has to leave behind.
Heartwarming, wise, and sophisticated, When You Were Mine is a story about first loves, best friends, and choices that will resonate with readers everywhere.

This one reminded me a lot of an Emily Griffin novel. The last Elizabeth Noble book I read was ‘Things I Want My Daughters to Know' and it was devastating. Compared to that one that the first books of hers I've read this one floundered. I couldn't quite connect with Susannah. The flashbacks were interesting, but I didn't really like her. Which is why it reminded me of an Emily Griffin novel. I generally don't like the main characters, but I like the story.
This time, I didn't see a happy ending or a resolution even that would satisfy me so maybe I gave up on the story too early? I don't know. I read it all the way through and I teared up a few times, but there was just so much going on yet I still couldn't get a bead on Susannah.
