Publisher's summary

A completely heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, and unforgettable romance, perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover and Paige Toon. When two lost souls are thrown back together, is it far too late to fix their broken hearts?

Jane McCaffrey is only back in her hometown of Seneca Falls because of her father’s death. She swears she’ll leave again forever—it’s not like her childhood home holds any happy memories. But Jane hadn’t planned on bumping into Nik

The boy she fell hard for was a skinny teenager with messy hair and his glasses askew. Now he’s broad-shouldered and stands well over six feet tall: but his deep brown eyes are just the same. And when he breathes her name and caresses the fresh bruise on her cheek—like he can’t help but touch her—Jane is thrown right back to the best and worst time of her life.

Jane and Nik once shared everything: kisses, hopes, and teenage dreams. Taking in his blue scrubs and doctor’s ID badge, Jane’s heart lifts that at least one of them got to live their dream. And as they catch up over the beautiful music they once loved, it’s like the years between them fall away.

But Nik doesn’t know the heavy secret Jane carries about the real reason she left town. Or who put that bruise on her cheek… or about her plans to truly disappear, forever.

So when the past comes calling, can Jane and Nik find the strength to fight for each other? Or was Jane dangerously wrong to think she could outrun her secret—and will it destroy them both?

Love and Other Lost Things will shatter your heart, make you sob with joy, and remind you of the beautiful pain of lost love.

Loved it!

Warning, only open if you have plenty of time to listen! I was drawn in from the first 30 min and could not stop listening. I was lost in the characters and loved every moment of the story. She is an amazing writer and I am excited to try another one of her books!

Good story

I really enjoyed the book. I wish there would’ve been a male and female narrator. I felt myself getting lost and confused at times.

A Story Well Told

This is the first book I have read/listened to by this author. She did a beautiful and accurate job of showing the trauma and very real fears of living with an abusive partner or family member. Unless you have lived in that situation you can never know the helplessness of that kind of life.

The narrator was great. A very well written story that expressed the true emotions and fears involved in domestic situations.

I will definitely read more books by this author.

Too Ridiculous to Finish

I’ve listened to other books by this author and really enjoyed them but that was not the case with this one. While I understand the psychology behind domestic violence, these characters were just not believable. For example, Jane suggesting a “retirement community” for her mother who is 48 years old is utterly ridiculous. She’s not even eligible to live in an adult community at the age of 48. Also, the author tries to portray Jane as a strong and courageous character yet she fell into the same cycle of domestic violence she was brave enough to run away from. I couldn’t get into the story. It just wasn’t believable. The characters were ridiculously cliche. But then again I should maybe expected that with a main character named Jane.
