Emily Mitchell, 35, living and working in New York City, has struggled through a string of failed relationships. When her boyfriend of 7 years takes her out for their long-awaited anniversary dinner, Emily is sure that this time will be different, that this time she will finally get the ring. When he gives her a small bottle of perfume instead, Emily knows the time has come to break up with him--and for her entire life to have a fresh start. Reeling from her unsatisfying, high-pressure life, Emily decides she needs a change. She decides on a whim to drive to her father's abandoned home on the coast of Maine, a sprawling, historic house where she'd spent magical summers as a child. But the house, long-neglected, is in dire need of repair, and the winter is no time to be in Maine. Emily hasn't been there in 20 years, when a tragic accident changed her sister's life and shattered her family. Her parents divorced, her father disappeared, and Emily was never able to bring herself to step foot in that house again. Now, for some reason, with her life reeling, Emily feels drawn to the only childhood place she ever knew. She plans on going just for a weekend, to clear her head. But something about the house, its numerous secrets, its memories of her father, its oceanfront allure, its small-town setting--and most of all, its gorgeous, mysterious caretaker--doesn't want to let her leave. Can she find the answers she's been looking for here, in the most unexpected place of all? Can a weekend become a lifetime? FOR NOW AND FOREVER is book #1 in the debut of a dazzling new romance series that will make you laugh, make you cry, will keep you turning pages late into the night--and will make you fall in love with romance all over again. Book #2 will be available soon.

如同Emily一样,很多人都以为人生中存在一些抉择,能让你改头换面,远离过去沉闷无趣的生活、薄志弱行的自己,比如一场说走就走的旅行、一次扬眉吐气的辞职。虽说树挪死人挪活,但一个人真的能通过这种方式,立刻获知此前苦思而不得的人生意义吗?不过有期望总是好的,能让我们在沉闷无趣的生活中,原谅薄志弱行的自己。这本书一般,女主性格有些不讨喜

看了一半了,Emily依然孤独的叨叨:爸走了,房子很破,房子里有秘密…太拖拉了

对这个女主实在没有好感。
