"A beautifully-written, deeply felt exploration of what it means to love and be loved."â??â?? Jill Santopolo, New York Times bestselling author of The Light We Lost In love . . . For twenty-six-year-old Adelaide Williams, an American living in dreamy London, meeting Rory Hughes was like a lightning bolt out of the blue: this charming Englishman was The One she wasn't even looking for. Is it enough? Does he respond to texts? Honor his commitments? Make advance plans? Sometimes, rarely, and no, not at all. But when he shines his light on her, the world makes sense, and Adelaide is convinced that, in his heart, he's fallen just as deeply as she has. Then, when Rory is rocked by an unexpected tragedy, Adelaide does everything in her power to hold him togetherâ??even if it means losing herself in the process. When love asks too much of us, how do we find the strength to put ourselves first? With unflinching honesty and heart, this relatable debut from a fresh new voice explores grief and mental health while capturing the timeless nature of what it's like to be young and in loveâ??with your friends, with your city, and with a person who cannot, will not, love you back. A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Pre… (altro)
Adelaide is an American living and working in London. She has wonderful friends and a promising career. Her family struggled with mental health issues and her romantic past was often painful. Then she meets Rory, the man of her dreams, whose frequent disappearances and emotional disconnects are viewed as something she has done wrong. When he mourns the death of his former girlfriend, she grieves with him. Many women would view him as self-absorbed, thoughtless, and dismissive of her feelings; however, Adelaide remains committed to Rory despite his not reciprocating her declaration of love. When she discovers his final betrayal, she has an emotional breakdown, leading her ultimately to find why she has subjugated herself for such a long time, always putting herself second to other people in her life.
Genevieve Wheeler has written an interesting story with insertions of foreshadowing that add rather than detract. Watching Adelaide's growth as a person made this a satisfying read, despite my initial impression of Adelaide. ( )
Do you enjoy reading about twenty-somethings tortured by anxiety, self-doubt, PTSD, while they attempt to live carefree lives full of sex, work, love, friends, and too much alcohol? Adelaide by Genevieve Wheeler fits the bill with a main character (Adelaide) trying desperately to make a relationship work with a reluctant partner through tragic circumstances. Her own family background and emotional issues come into play as Wheeler skillfully reveals events through flashback sections. This is not my favorite genre of book, but readers of Sally Rooney and similar authors will enjoy this contemporary story. ( )
