Pakahduttava tarina valinnoista, toisista mahdollisuuksista ja elämän ennalta-arvaamattomuudesta. Viisitoista vuotta sitten Emily menetti kaksi intohimoaan: musiikin ja rokkaripoikaystävänsä. Nyt hän on päässyt pitkälle ja auttaa psykologina muita ratkomaan ongelmiaan. Elämä huolehtivaisen lääkäriaviomiehen kanssa New Yorkissa on ihanaa. He aikovat perustaa perheen. Nykyinen hallittu onni kuitenkin suistuu raiteiltaan, eikä mikään enää ole varmaa. Sitten Emily kuulee radiossa laulun, joka tuntuu kertovan hänestä, vieläpä tutulla äänellä. Kun menneisyyden intohimot hyökyvät nykyisyyteen, Emily joutuu kysymään itseltään: Kuka minusta oikein on kasvamassa? Ketä minun kuuluu rakastaa?

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?

Nina has always known who she's supposed to be. But is that who she truly is? Nina Gregory has always been a good daughter. Raised by her father, owner of New York City's glamorous Gregory Hotels, Nina was taught that family, reputation, and legacy are what matter most. And Tim--her devoted boyfriend and best friend since childhood--feels the same. But when Nina's father dies, he leaves behind a secret that shocks Nina to her core. Soon, Nina begins to see the men in her life--her father, her boyfriend, and unexpectedly, her boss, Rafael--in a new light, finding herself caught between the world she loves, and a passion that could upend everything. More Than Words is a heartbreaking and romantic novel about grief, loss, love, and self-discovery, and how we choose which life we are meant to live.

Nina on aina tiennyt, kuka hänen pitäisi olla. Mutta kuka hän todella on? Sydämeenkäyvä romanttinen romaani surusta, rakkaudesta ja itsensä löytämisestä. Nina on kunnon tytär ja hyvä tyttöystävä. Hänen isänsä on opettanut, että perhe, maine ja perintö ovat tärkeintä elämässä. Samoin ajattelee myös Ninan ihana, huomaavainen ja rehellinen poikaystävä Tim. Kun Ninan isä kuolee, hän jättää jälkeensä salaisuuden. Kun Ninan koko todellisuus näyttää romahtavan, hän alkaa nähdä elämänsä miehet - isän, poikaystävän ja komean pomonsa Rafaelin - uudessa valossa. Pian hän löytää itsensä tienristeyksestä: yhdessä suunnassa on tuttu maailma, jota hän rakastaa, toisessa intohimo, joka voi kääntää hänen koko elämänsä nurin.

Nina Gregory har alltid vært en pliktoppfyllende datter. Faren har innprentet henne at det viktigste i livet er familie, omdømme og arv. Tim – barndomsvennen som etter hvert har blitt en hengiven kjæreste – føler det på samme måte. Men da faren dør, etterlater han seg en hemmelighet som ryster Nina til det innerste. «En dypfølt fortelling om livet, kjærligheten og det å ta sjanser etter å ha mistet noen.» Publishers Weekly«Mer enn ord er en ytterst gripende og ærlig roman. Jill Santopolo er en virkelig mester i hjertets anliggender. Dette er en øm og klok fortelling om familie, kjærlighet og selvforståelse. Jeg kunne ikke legge den fra meg.» Taylor Jenkins Reid, forfatter av The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. «Nok en deilig hjerteskjærende og romantisk historie … Denne kommer helt sikkert til å vekke sterke følelser.» Bustle«Ninas problemer med å bestemme seg for én av to menn, der den ene representerer hennes gamle liv og den andre representerer hva hun kunne bli om hun tok en sjanse, er drivende og fengslende. Fremstillingen av Ninas sorg over faren er hudløs, og innsikten hun etter hvert får om at han var et ufullkomment menneske, gjør den enda mer overbevisende. [Mer enn ord] er full av dramatikk, skandaler og romantikk og kommer helt sikkert til å fryde fans av Santopolos Verden uten deg.» Kirkus Reviews
