Laura Miller is about as great as they come at writing sweet, enthralling romance novels. She shows that you don’t have to have the sexuality that so many do these days. She writes the most beautiful stories and captivating characters. If you pick up a Laura Miller book, be prepared to stay up and continue reading because her books are unputdownable. For All You Have Left was no exception. It was a gorgeous story about a girl and her two loves – her first love and true love, and how to not let go of one entirely, but move into the future with the other.
I loved these characters. Logan/Ada (You’ll see) is strong, loves her family, and enjoys her career as a writer for a magazine. You see her as a child and teenager, and her relationship with her first love, Andrew. You also see her as the adult who lives by herself and is single. It teases you with flashbacks, making you wonder what the secret is. How does she go from being so in love with her childhood/high school sweetheart, to being all alone? The puzzle pieces will start fitting together, in the midst of watching a new love make his way into Ada's heart.
That new love is Jorgen – The gorgeous next-door neighbor. They just click when they first meet. It’s not instalove, but you know there’s something there. Throughout the beginning of their relationship, you can’t help but fall in love with him. Their relationship is so sweet, romantic, and just a ton of fun to read. They made me giggle, and Jorgen will make you swoon. The interactions and conversations between Ada and Jorgen are also SO adorable. I enjoyed seeing them together, and seeing their relationship mature.
Overall, I can't recommend this book enough. It shows that there can still be novels out there that don't revolve around sex, but can still be just as interesting as the ones that do. The characters are real. Laura is so great at making you feel like you're really living in their moment, right there with them. The descriptions used for the places and times were dead on. I just love love love this book and their story.
