An emotional, spicy, second-chance romance from USA Today bestselling author Tarah DeWitt.
This time, they'll get it right.
Wren and Ellis Byrd fell in love as kids, had their son Sam when they were only teenagers, and built a life together in the coastal town of Spunes, Oregon. They were made for one another…until they fell apart.
Now divorced and in their 30s, Wren runs the bakery in town, while Ellis works as a firefighter. They live separate lives, though they are hardly off each other’s minds.
When Sam gets accepted into college and the pair help him move in together, Ellis convinces Wren to take an extended road trip back to Spunes with him to see if they can give their relationship one last chance. Amid the gorgeous scenery of the California coastline, dreamy destinations, and a great deal of long-yearned-for proximity, Wren starts to think it just might be possible. But the two still have to contend with their tumultuous past in order to move forward. And when spoken words fail, sometimes the written word must bridge the gap.
Will they make the most of what’s left of forever? Or will they let each other go for good?
Brimming with big feelings and packed with steam, Left of Forever is bestseller Tarah DeWitt at the top of her game.

This is my first book from Tarah DeWitt and I really enjoyed it. It was such a fun idea to start the book out with a playlist, I’ve seen playlists in books before, but they tend to be in the back of the book where this one was the first thing you saw before starting the story. I thought that was such a unique idea especially since our main characters are gonna set out on a road trip.
I think Left of Forever pulls you in immediately. You really want to know what is going to happen with these characters. Wren and Ellis are in their 30s and divorced from each other. After their divorce Wren and Ellis went their separate ways. Ellis is now a firefighter and Wren is the local baker in Spunes, Oregon. These two still have feelings for each other even if they are divorced. They’ve been through a lot and they have a kid that is getting ready to go off to college.
There were several different ways that the reader is exposed to Wren and Ellis’s love story. We got to see some letter writing that I really enjoyed. We had some flashbacks. I think Wren’s journal entries are fantastic. DeWitt did such a great job bringing their love story all together to make the reader route for this couple.
For my first Tarah DeWitt book, I really enjoyed this one. I thought it was well done. It is very emotional and touches on a lot of sensitive topics. I am so happy with the character growth and their arcs. They were so lovable. I found that we had some fun light hearted moments as well so it wasn’t all completely serious and emotional. Definitely recommend this one.
