Synopsis

Someone Else's Love Story is beloved and highly acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Joshilyn Jackson's funny, charming, and poignant novel about science and miracles, secrets and truths, faith and forgiveness; about falling in love, and learning that things aren't always what they seem—or what we hope they will be.Shandi Pierce is juggling finishing college, raising her delightful three-year-old genius son Nathan, aka Natty Bumppo, and keeping the peace between her eternally warring, long-divorced parents. She's got enough complications without getting caught in the middle of a stick-up and falling in love with William Ashe, who willingly steps between the robber and her son.Shandi doesn't know that her blond god Thor has his own complications. When he looked down the barrel of that gun he believed it was destiny: It's been one year to the day since a tragic act of physics shattered his world. But William doesn't define destiny the way others do. A brilliant geneticist who believes in facts and numbers, destiny to him is about choice. Now, he and Shandi are about to meet their so-called destinies head on, making choices that will reveal unexpected truths about love, life, and the world they think they know.

3.75 stars This novel is a wonderful “feel good” book. There are times when I want to read a happy, feel-good novel that is well written with complex and quirky characters. This is that kind of book. Perfect for the Holiday season. Also, a book I couldn’t wait to get back to. There are multiple subp......more

Goodreads review by Valentina on December 04, 2013

I didn’t really understand what this book was trying to be. Although it does have romantic elements, the story is too strange to really be considered a romance. I think that the author tried to do too many things, mixing too many genres at once. It’s hard to create a believable love story with a char......more

Goodreads review by Diana on November 18, 2018

After listening to Almost Sisters, I decided if I’m browsing audio books and see Joshilyn Jackson as narrator for any of her work I will be listening as soon as possible. Great, entertaining narrator! “I fell in love with William Ashe at gunpoint, in a Circle K.” When a book has a really great openin......more

Goodreads review by Rashika (is tired) on September 06, 2016

This was one of those rare books that I knew would be good before I even got into it. Even if I was surprised by some of the turns it took. I mean a book that has an epigraph with the lines of my favorite poem (and one of the few I actually know); well let’s just say we were meant to be. I have no ide......more
