It All Comes Back to You: A totally emotional and gripping page-turner

by Melissa Wiesner

An absolutely unforgettable and heart-shattering romance, perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover, Lucy Score and Carley Fortune, that asks: does keeping secrets destroy true love?

Anna works two jobs to get herself through college and never, ever talks about her family. It's easier to keep her distance from everyone until she can finally leave her old life behind. That is, until chance throws her together with Gabe...

Gabe is top of the class, in a fancy fraternity, and has a big, perfect, warm-hearted family. He is everything Anna is not. Their connection is undeniable. His silver-blue eyes pierce right through her, and he makes her laugh in ways she never thought possible. But Anna would do anything to stop Gabe from discovering her darkest secret, and the real reason she goes home every night to a cold, silent apartment...

When Gabe and his family get close to the truth, Anna runs, vowing to never see them again. But forever is a long time...

Years later. Tragedy brings Anna back to the town she grew up in-a place she escaped a decade ago. When Gabe wraps his strong arms around her, it's like finally finding home.

But when the truth comes out after all these years, will both their worlds come crashing down? Gabe is the one person Anna trusts most: but what if he has secrets, too? And how much pain can two hearts endure, before they are torn apart forever?

It All Comes Back to You will make you laugh, cry with both joy and pain, and hold your loved ones tight.

Reviews

[Jeff Sexton]

Strong Long-Form Romance. You know those romance tales where someone meets on a plane on their way to their (separate) vacations that happen to be in the same place, fall in love on the plane, and are damn near married by the time they get on the plane back home?

 

Yeah... this isn't that. At all. This one takes more like 15 years, and has a LOT more growth of both of our lead characters between the initial meeting and the proposal. There is a strong coming of age element here, there is a strong sense of destiny here, but more importantly and one of the strongest features of the tale is that there is a strong sense of "[S]he's *right there*! Get your FUCKING act together!"... except that it truly does take both of them the entire time frame to really get to the point where they *can* be together.

 

And you know what... sometimes... sometimes that happens in real life too. And those real life stories deserve to see their fictional counterparts too. So I'm glad Wiesner wrote this one, so that these types of stories *can* get out more. Because let's face it, these kinds of romances aren't exactly the typical ones in the genre - and that makes them all the more refreshing and interesting when you *do* find one like this. Very much recommended.
