Review: Love, Me by Jessica Saunders

Love, Me by Jessica Saunders

Blurb from Goodreads:

A pitch-perfect exploration of modern married life, Jessica Saunders’s deliciously readable novel embraces the truth that some old flames can’t be snuffed out, no matter how many years go by.  

Rachel Miller is a lawyer and mother of two who’s just as comfortable in the courtroom as she is on the sidelines of the soccer field. Rachel is unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight when photographs of her and her high school boyfriend, the famous actor Jack Bellow—along with his love letters to her—are published in a tabloid. This newfound attention calls into question Rachel’s marriage, her career, and her superstar ex. Betrayed by someone she trusted and reunited with the man she tried so hard to forget, Rachel must ask herself, “How did I get here? And where am I going?” 

 This was a fast read and had potential but it left me wanting more.  I felt like the timeline changes between past and present were actually done well but I still wanted more.  I will say this author must be an attorney or have gone to law school because they described the practice of law perfectly.  I had hoped for a bit more intrigue and romance but it was fairly straightforward.

Love, Me comes out next week on January 16, 2024 and you can purchase HERE.  

I ask him a question I've wondered about many successful actors: Is being a celebrity all it's cracked up to be? He lives a life most of us only dream of does he ever think about what life might have been like if he'd become, say, a teacher?

"And married my high school sweetheart?" he responds with a laugh. "Honestly, all the time."

In true Jack Bellow fashion, that's all I can get him to say.
