One True Loves continues to prove that TJK is physically incapable of not writing a book that is possible to put down! One True Loves focuses on the pain of love, and the rewards letting yourself become vulnerable can give you.

Emma’s journey of grief, love, and self-discovery is portrayed with sensitivity and depth. The complicated relationships between her and Jesse and Sam is heartbreaking, difficult, and all too realistic. It’s impossible not to put yourself in Emma’s shoes and truly feel how she feels.

The complexity of love is entwined expertly in the novel. Emma’s struggle to choose between the two men she loves is written unlike any other ‘love-triangle’ you’ll read. The realities of this difficult choice are nail-biting and heartbreaking.

We cannot recommend it enough to anyone who is looking for a captivating and emotional read.
