"Fans of Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat Pray Love will flock to this novel." Lori Nelson Spielman, author of The Life ListAn unexpected journey leads one woman to find hope and healing in the most unlikely placesTegan Lawson has everything she could hope for: an adoring husband, Gabe, and a baby on the way. But suddenly, her life is irreversibly changed when a patch of black ice causes a devastating accident.Just when Tegan is on the verge of hitting rock bottom, Gabe reminds her of their Jar of Spontaneity, a collection of their dream destinations and experiences. And so begins an extraordinary adventure of a lifetime. From the colorful, bustling markets of Thailand to the rich flavors of Italy to the azure ocean waves in Hawaii, Tegan and Gabe embark on a journey in search of forgiveness and renewal. And as they explore the cultures and beautiful landscapes of these faraway places, they learn that acceptance often comes when we least expect it. Heartbreaking, hopeful and utterly transporting, Come Away with Me is an unforgettable debut and a luminous celebration of the strength of the human spirit.

Colleen Oakley, author of Before I Go "[F]ull of lush locations, memorable characters, and a turn of events that is nothing short of jaw-dropping."

The first book I've finished in December. #WinterGames #CandyCaneCrushers

This is a story of love, grief, and healing. I liked it, but Teagan seemed at least ten years older than she was. I'm not sure her youth was so believable.

This is the kind of book that you must read to the end. There were slow parts but they all make sense and make the book so much more enjoyable once you get to the end. It was an emotional read but a good one.

#FierceFeb #GoodMorningHeartache Tegan loses her unborn child in an accident & is angry at her husband Gabe's role in it. Overcome by grief & loss, three slips from their "jar of spontaneity' leads to a trip to Thailand, Italy & Hawaii to heal the heartache. This book that I reviewed a few years ago had me ugly-crying & still makes me a bit choked up thinking about it. A beautiful story that surprises & shows the power of love, loss & healing.??

Reggie This sounds great!!! 6y
batsy Sounds emotional but also possibly hopeful 💙 6y
DebinHawaii @Reggie @batsy It is a good book. Even though it is a tearjerker, it does have a hopeful tone. 📚👍 6y

This one took me by surprise. I thought I would enjoy it, but I fell completely I love with it. I recommend this book to all my bibliophile friends. It's perfect for a rainy day read, or a day on the beach... or if you're anything like me read in any spare moment I could find during a shift at work. I simply couldn't put it down. 💕

ReadingSusan That is the only bad thing about library books. Ugh. 7y
Bostonmomx2 @ReadingSusan I know 😷 i bet 90% of my reading comes from the library but this is just gross. 7y
Suzze For years I wouldn't get library books because I was worried about just this kind of thing. Life is too short. I got over it. But it's still icky and I'd read that page REALLY fast. 7y

EvieBee I hope so too! The only thing I dislike about library books. I have bad allergies with cigarette smoke and have had to read several books that make my eyes water shut because smokers read with them. Homegoing was the last one. The things we do for books! 7y
Bostonmomx2 @Suzze ya, I mean it's gross but I'll still read it. I know people who refuse for this reason and I get it. I simply can't afford NOT to use the library. @EvieBee84 I haven't come across that issue but yuk!! 7y
LeahBergen Blech! 7y
Debiw781 Ewwww! I struggle with reading library books for this reason 7y
Notafraidofwords Budgeting means library, so I would just read this page quickly lol 7y
Bostonmomx2 @Debiw781 I immediately thought of you when I came across this 😂 7y

What's on tap for this evening. Rain coming down, dinner in me belly and now...reading 👍 #hpchapteraday

raelaschoenherr Come Away With Me has caught my eye before. Interested to hear if I should get it from the library again! 7y
Bostonmomx2 @raelaschoenherr I've been told it's pretty gut wrenching and to have tissues ready. I'm only 49 pages in and what's happened is really sad but I don't feel emotionally invested yet. 7y
raelaschoenherr @Bostonmomx2 It seems like it would have to be a tearjerker! Keep me posted! 7y

Ahhhh! This book was so incredibly well-written with one of the best twists, ever. It completely wrecked me, though. #uglycryguarantee

SarahBookInterrupted Me too, I loved the twist. 2y

#Day7 #SeptemberPhotoChallenge #mademecry I tear up easily so I went back to the last book that made me ugly cry. Tegan loses her unborn child in an accident & her grief & anger at her husband Gabe are palpable. Pulling 3 slips from their 'jar of spontaneity' turns into a trip-Thailand, Italy & Hawaii to work through grief & find acceptance & forgiveness. I gave my copy away so the pic is from my blog review-link in comments. #somethingforsept 😭

DebinHawaii Link to full review & lemon spaghetti recipe inspired by the book here: http://kahakaikitchen.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-book-tour-stops-here-review-of-co... 8y
BooksForEmpathy That pasta looks beautiful and so fresh and light! 8y
DebinHawaii @BooksForEmpathy Thanks! It's a Giada recipe and light and bright. Part of the book takes part on the Amalfi coast of Italy so lemon pasta seemed to fit. 😀 8y

If you like Taylor Jenkins Reid, Jennifer Weiner or Joshilyn Jackson this is the book for you. Tugs on the heartstrings in an authentic way. Have a box of tissues handy.
