Piper Wylde's debut novel is a charming and delicious second chance romance. Wylde's writing feels effortless and easily draws the reader into this small town and the characters that enliven the space. Wylde has created this interesting corner of the universe (Willowbrook) that has some very intriguing secrets that are sure to drive this series through its highs and lows. Her characters all feel dynamic and like people I want to continue to get to know; and this story, while it ends with a happily ever after feel, it is very clear that there are still many things that will come to light so there is an openness about the finality of the main families dynamics. Wylde is very smart to leave this crack as a way to draw readers back into her world when the next novel comes out.
The Life We Left Behind is at heart a soul mate romance, in which actions from adults separate two people who are each other's strength and hope. When Delaney finds herself pregnant at 16 and no word from her boyfriend Trace, her world takes a turn and she leaves her small town, only to return 10 years after her father's death. This romance is about secrets, things left unsaid, and finding strength in oneself. This romance is about rediscover, taking a stand, and choosing the family you want. This novel balances heavy topics with the joys of family and friends. This novel is sensually sexy as Trace and Delaney see that their love can overcome anything. This novel is ultimately a truly beautiful start to want will hopefully be an illustrious career!
I love discovering new authors, and Piper Wylde is one of those authors I will be keeping an eye out for! Definitely check this novel out if you are like me and love to take a chance on a new author!
