Synopsis:

‘A beautiful story of second-chance love between two perfectly imperfect characters. Rachel writes with such emotional honesty, it leaves me lost for words.’ Sarah Bennett She’d turned her back on love. But fate had other ideas.

A powerful and uplifting second chance love story to make you laugh and cry, perfect for fans of Katie Marsh, Sheila O’Flanagan, and Amanda Prowse.

When Jess and Rupert parted ways, it was the end of a great love story that might have been. Now ten years later, the very different paths they have taken in life will bring them back together for a chance meeting.

But with so much left unsaid about the break up neither ever recovered from and with each keeping their own devastating secrets, will they finally be able to make the fractured pieces of their love for one another whole again?

‘Once again Rachel Burton has blown me away with a poignant romance entwined in the battles of the real world.The Pieces of You and Me is an enthralling love story that asks the question – can true love stand not just the test of time but the challenges we face along the way? Jess and Rupert are both fabulous and flawed and their story feels as real to me as the people I see every day. A down to earth and wonderfully uplifting story of love and second chances.’ Lauren North

My Thoughts

“It was his laugh that I recognised first. That low rumble was as familiar to me as my own, even after nearly a decade”

This was a beautiful, love story of 2 characters who had a chance at love, second time around. It was a lighthearted romance with a few serious issues thrown in to give it substance.

I really enjoyed reading about how the 2 protagonists reconnected after nearly 10 years apart. They each had their own troubles along the way and had dealt with health issues. They had parted due to a misunderstanding and were drawn back together by a mutual friend.

Every chapter started off with either Jess or Rupert in the first person in the past or the present and told their side of the story. I really enjoyed this way of writing and it gave me (the reader) an insight into their separate lives and also their past lives together.

I highly recommend this book as a very enjoyable and easy read.
