The Best of Us by Joyce Maynard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is a step out of my normal path of reading. I was intrigued by what this memoir could hold. I was not disappointed. Joyce Maynard’s writing is real and vulnerable. She shares her life and last love in rich and vivid detail. She opens the door to what becomes an agonizing saga of finding love and being forced to let it go. I grew to care very much for Joyce and her second husband who marry later in life. There’s joy, sadness, delight, and heartache.
I’m glad I veered off my path. This book was very well written, held my attention throughout, and inspired me to live each moment fully.
I received a copy from NetGalley. All thoughts were my own. I was not compensated for this review.
