Heart the Lover by Lily King is a new connective thread book (from Writers and Lovers). We see Casey in her senior year of college meet and fall for Sam and Yash - stars of 17th century lit class.
cover blurb - She discovers the pleasures of friendship, intellectual ambition, the intoxicating world of academic fervor, and rapid fire banter and fun. But youthful passion is unpredictable, and soon she finds herself at the center of a charged and intricate triangle. Choices will be made that alter these three lives forever.
Decades later, Casey's a successful novelist. She's married with children. But there's a surprise visit. Unexpected news. Now she needs to make amends, consider decisions made, and complete a circle from youthful bonds.
I read this fresh after the first related book. Lily King really knows how to write about relationships and actions and consequences. A very fresh twist took me by surprise and I found myself tearing up. (I swear Ray always walks into a room just as I'm sniffling over a novel).
I will say I heart both books, the characters, the plot lines, and the finale. Well done. (have a tissue ready)
