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.

What I thought about The Things We Leave Unfinished
So this is a Rebecca Yarros book, so I know I need to bring some tissues with me because Ms. Yarros is a master at tugging at your heart, giving it a hard squeeze and showing that love often comes with tears. I definitely like that.
Georgia has just gone through a nasty divorce and ends up at her great-grandmother Scarlett's estate in Colorado. Also in attendance is Noah Harrison, a bestselling author who is going to finish Scarlett's last book. I had to laugh when I realized this was an author writing about an author and that can and does get interesting!
As Noah starts to work on the love story, he and Georgia unearth Scarlett's story -- it's very personal and set in World War II. The dual timeline between past and present is quiet interesting and brings a uniqueness to this story. As a former historical romance reader I enjoyed that aspect of the story very much, along with the growing attraction between Noah and Georgia.
This is a story that capitalizes on common themes of fate, destiny and true love. The characters are complex and interesting and the story is emotional and comes with some surprises. I really couldn't ask for more as a reader which is why I'm rating this 5 big stars.
A complementary copy was provided by the publisher. This is my honest review.
