"Exploring Love and Legacy: A Review of 'The Things We Leave Unfinished'"

Set against the backdrop of both present-day and the early 1940s during World War II, "The Things We Leave Unfinished" follows Georgia Stanton, freshly divorced from her unfaithful husband, as she returns to her home town and inherits everything from her great-grandmother, Scarlett Stanton, a renowned romance author.

When Noah Harrison is tasked with finishing Scarlet’s final unpublished manuscript, he finds himself grappling with the weight of her legacy and the complexities of Georgia's expectations.

As Noah and Georgie begin to read Scarlett’s unpublished manuscript, they uncover Scarlett's wartime experiences in England, and most importantly learn about Scarlett’s first love, Jameson, a fighter pilot in the war.

As I recently became obsessed with Rebecca Yarrow’ fantasy serious, “The Fourth Wing,” I thought I’d pick up this book to read her romance books-the genre that initially brought her fame.

Unfortunately, I am left disappointed; I wanted a heartbreaking love story.

My main issue with the book, I think, was the structure of the two timelines. I think it can be hard to weave two storylines seamlessly, and in theory, the way Yarros did so seemed like a promising way to do so, I can’t quite explain why it didn’t work for me.

I’m not completely writing her romance books off, but I definitely think she found her niche with her romantasy books instead.
