Love Lost No More

3.5 Stars

Love Lost No More is a sweet and tender romance by Rachel Marissa. 

I enjoy the way it's written in a How I Met Your Mother type style, with Richard telling his kids how he feel in love with their mother.
 
Their story follows their high school years, as their feelings become real and they struggle with society's expectations. Aka - racism, as Richard is white and Sarabi is black. Their tale includes other boyfriends/girlfriends and waiting to get on the same page.

Richard's father wants Richard to date a white girl. His dad is also just a jerk to him in general. 

As for the present, the kids are cute, and lend some tender moments to the tale. Overall, it's a bittersweet read, as we know from the start that Sarabi has died. The end is precious though.

The writing is great, the storyline is good, and it's an easy read.

Love Lost No More is one of those sweet stories I am glad I read. I don't love it, but Rachel Marissa definitely left me compelled throughout. 




-racism, Young adult, high school, through the years, childhood friends,

This book gave me "How I met your Mother" vibes but on a much deeper and sweeter level because Richard is a widow, currently sharing the story of his love with his three children and we get to see it from their perspective, and that's downright adorable.

Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.

I received a complimentary copy of Love Lost No More in exchange for an honest review.  This was definitely a unique story.   It was a quick and easy read, and left me with so many different emotions.  The children were all adorable, and it was so refreshing reading a story about a dad that is completely committed to his family.  If you are looking for something a little outside of the norm, this would be a good book to dabble in.
