Everything After by Jill Santopolo


The Light We Lost mixes with a touch of Daisy Jones and the Six in this novel of first love, passion, and the power of choice--and how we cannot escape the people we are meant to be.

Two loves. Two choices. One chance to follow her dreams.

Emily has come a long way since she lost her two passions fifteen years ago: music, and Rob. She's a psychologist at NYU who helps troubled college students like the one she once was. Together with her caring doctor husband, Ezra, she has a beautiful life. They're happy. They hope to start a family. But when a tragic event in Emily's present too closely echoes her past, and parts of her story that she'd hoped never to share come to light, her perfect life is suddenly upturned. Then Emily hears a song on the radio about the woman who got away. The melody and voice are hauntingly familiar. Could it be? As Emily's past passions come roaring back into her life, she'll find herself asking: Who is she meant to be? Who is she meant to love?


When reading the reviews on goodreads.com, this book had mixed reviews, but the description sounded intriguing enough that I wanted to read it.  I wasn't a fan that this story was told as she was talking to a lost baby as at times it was confusing, but overall the story was good & the way she comes to terms with her life, marriage and past was a great way to end it.   The end of the audiobook also had the music performed at the end, which was a nice touch.
