If I'd Known

4.5<br><br>If I'd Known is my first read by Paige P. Horne, and she certainly left an impression on me! When I saw this book was based on a true story, I knew I had to read it! I didn't really know what to expect other than that. I'm going to tell you a little bit to give you an idea of what you're in for, but no spoilers from me! Don't worry!<br><blockquote> <blockquote> <a href="http://s1303.photobucket.com/user/majikmommie/media/hjkff_zpsdn2cckkx.gif.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1520471071ra/25178696.gif" alt=" photo hjkff_zpsdn2cckkx.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a> </blockquote> </blockquote><br>You know how they say curiosity killed the cat? Well, I'm the fucking cat! I was up until 4 in the morning reading this book and balling my eyes out! You guys know I'm not a chick that loves to cry, so I was also cursing myself out for reading it at the same time. I still feel like I need to drink alcohol today to get over it all. I'm not trying to scare you away by any means, but I don't want you to come to me later cursing ME out for your devastation! Lol <br><br>This book reminded me a lot of the movie, Fried Green Tomatoes, in that it's told by an older woman to a younger one about events that happened in her life in the past. It gave me the same feel reading it. I could see it translated to film very easily. <br><br><a href="http://s1303.photobucket.com/user/majikmommie/media/movie-love-quotes-4_zpsuafgi3x9.gif.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1520471071ra/25178697.gif" alt=" photo movie-love-quotes-4_zpsuafgi3x9.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a><br><br>Charlotte Harris is approached by a young woman named Cynthia to write a story about the love of her life. Charlotte is reluctant, but eventually she gives in. Charlotte's friend, Maggie, is the person who told Cynthia about Charlotte to begin with, and she is present throughout the story. In fact, the friendship that develops between the three women and the experience they have together is a large part of the plot, too.<br><br><b> <i>“How little did I know, that it would not only be the most memorable summer I've ever had, but it would be the summer that changed my life forever.”</i> </b><br><br>Charlotte's story begins when she meets her love, Travis Cole, in the summer of 1972 when she was just 16 years old. From the moment Charlotte looked at Travis, she only had eyes for him. He felt the same, and soon, they couldn't stand to be away from each other. Their love was intense, passionate, and wild; the way young love tends to be. <br><br><a href="http://s1303.photobucket.com/user/majikmommie/media/loveboyfriendlove-quoteshappy-gifcouple_zpsuh0gukmb.gif.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1520471071ra/25178698.gif" alt=" photo loveboyfriendlove-quoteshappy-gifcouple_zpsuh0gukmb.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a><br><br><b> <i>“Young love is like a raging fire that can't be tamed. It's addictive and borderline obsessive. Satisfying in every way, yet never getting enough. I'm the flames, and he's the fuel keeping me burning."</i> </b><br><br>There is just one problem. Travis is a "bad boy," and Charlotte's mama refuses to let her date him. They sneak around and even run away to be together. That's about as far as I can go without spoiling anything. The details of it all are revealed to us in flashbacks throughout the story.<br><br> <a href="http://s1303.photobucket.com/user/majikmommie/media/gshs_zpsuhu3oozx.gif.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1520471071ra/25178699.gif" alt=" photo gshs_zpsuhu3oozx.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a><br><br><b> <i>“After all this time, I still ask why? Why me? Why us?”</i> </b><br><br>You know something tragic is going to happen by the way the book begins. That's not a spoiler. I thought I prepared myself for it as much as I could, but it was not enough! My heart shattered. Knowing this story is based on true events and reading what the author wrote at the end about her role in it broke my heart even more. I think it affected me the way it did, because an aspect of it reminded me of someone in my own life, and I cried for them, too. I usually don't even read books with that certain thing in it, because it hits too close to home. I'm just trying to write this review without having another breakdown, so I'm going to end it here. <br><br><a href="http://s1303.photobucket.com/user/majikmommie/media/vbnhf_zpsj540qhel.gif.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1520471071ra/25178700.gif" alt=" photo vbnhf_zpsj540qhel.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a><br><br>If I'd Known is heartwarming and gut-wrenching all at once.

In this we meet ‘Charlotte Harris and Travis Cole' and secondary characters Maggie and Cynthia. <br><br>If I'd Known is two stories in one it surrounds the summer of 1972 when Charlotte and Travis met, to the present story which is about three totally different women who become fast friends... Charlotte, Maggie and Cynthia. <br><br><b> A gut wrenching, unique, beautiful, intoxicating, love story </b> <br><br>The synopsis is pretty vague you only really know that it’s based on ‘true events’ opening up the book and reading ‘The Prologue’ it hints at an emotional read up ahead. <br><br>I always have that feeling of trepidation when it comes to picking up a new authors book, but as soon as I started this I was drawn into the storyline, throw in the words ‘based on factual events’ and I’ll pretty much sign up and all I can say is I am so glad I took a chance on this book!! It is different to anything I would typically read.<br><br>This starts off a bit unusual, Charlotte has been asked to give an interview by an aspiring young journalist Cynthia Rose about her great love in the summer of 1972, a summer that changed Charlotte's life forever, living with her grandmother in a trailer her cousin has come to visit and a mate of his has tagged along and this was how she met the boy that would have such a huge astounding impact on her life. <br><br><i> <b> Young love is like a raging fire that can't be tamed.

I squint as I begin to hear her voice calling my name from down the hall and stretch my arms out in front of me.<br><br>My door opens and she stands with a dish towel in her hands. “Your cousins here,” she says.<br><br>“Really?” I ask excitedly.<br><br>“Yes. Get up. I need your help in the kitchen.” I toss the covers off me and dart across my carpet covered room out into the hall. Jesse and I have always been close, he used to live in Georgia too, but now he lives in Florida, where I wish I lived. I haven’t seen him in a year. I open the door and walk out onto the small porch. It’s early morning, but the Georgia air already feels sticky, instantly making my clothes cling to me.<br><br>“Hey Jesse!” I call out as I rest my forearms on the rail and lean out.<br><br>He looks over the hood of his car and says, “String bean!”<br><br>I smile, but roll my eyes at his stupid nickname for me and then someone else catches my attention.<br><br>I believe there’s a special compartment in our brain that holds onto precious moments. It saves every detail so you can always go back and replay it again and this moment right here is something I know I’ll never forget. Before he even speaks to me, a feeling that can’t be explained rushes through my chest. My heart skips and my pulse quickens, I forget how hot it is outside, or that my cousin is here, I forget everything. I often wondered how people knew when they met the one and now I no longer have to.<br><br>“Charlotte this is Travis,” Jesse says. With mid length, dark brown hair and no shirt on, Travis looks over at me from the water hose. Droplets of water fall from his face and soap covers his hands before he rinses them and then shuts the water off. I watch almost like it’s in slow motion as he pulls a towel out of his back pocket, wipes down his face and dries his hands.<br><br>He starts to walk my way and my innocent eyes descend to the small amount of hair on his chest, his happy trial and on down to the black denim jeans that cover his legs. Jesus. They shoot back up as he reaches his hand out and Travis smiles, the boyishness, boyish grin I’ve ever seen. Holy dimples.<br><br>“Nice to meet you,” he says. His brown eyes dart down to my body and the left side of his lip quirks. I wonder why, until I remember I’m in baby doll pajamas! I feel heat crawl up my neck and I struggle to not clamp my eyes shut.<br><br>“You too.” I hardly breathe as I put my hand in his and static electricity causes both of us to snatch our hands back and he chuckles.<br><br>“Sorry,” I say with a bashful smile starring at his beautiful lips as they stay in a perfect crooked position, still grinning at me. Where did this boy come from?<br><br>I look back up at his eyes as the sunlight reflects in them, and I see small gold flakes and tiny, tiny wrinkles around the edges from his smile. He looks bemused by me and I feel like I’m caught in a trance until mama shouts, “Charlotte ask Jesse if he wants something to eat!”<br><br>“I’m guessing you’re Charlotte,” Travis says as his eye brows raise, and he tilts his head slightly, giving me a look of curiosity.<br><br>I smile. You can call me whatever you want. “Ya’ll hungry?” I ask. Please be hungry, I want more time with this boy.<br><br>“I could eat.” Travis shrugs. “What about you?” He turns to my cousin who shuts the hood of his car.<br><br>“You gonna go put some clothes on first?” Jesse asks me.<br><br>I roll my eyes. “Duh.” I look down at Travis again and bite my bottom lip before walking back to the door. I feel his eyes on me and I get chills as it slams behind me after I enter. I head through the living room to the hall. “They’re eating,” I call out before I shut the door to my bedroom and press my back against it. I look to the ceiling and smile. Heat covers my body and when I turn my sight to my mirror, I see that I’m blushing. I should be embarrassed by my appearance, but that’s not what’s got me hot and red and I have a feeling it won’t be the last time Travis Cole does that. I put my face in my hands and shake my head. God, I haven’t even brushed my teeth. I throw off my pj’s and head to the closet.<br><br>I take a little too long getting dressed, desperately trying to erase Travis’s first impression of me in night clothes and bed hair. I try on three different outfits and go over my hair with the iron at least five times, making sure there are no waves and almost burning myself in the process. My room is a mess now and I think they’re probably done eating by the time I come out, but oddly as I walk in the kitchen they walk in the door and my eyes go to Travis, seeing he has on a white shirt now. He runs both hands through his hair as his eyes land on me and this time there’s no crooked smile, but something else and I can feel it everywhere.<br><a href="https://goodreads.com/author/show/13741856.Paige_P__Horne" title="Paige P.

For anyone who lost the love of their life to an early passing, reading this book is a must. I lost my husband to cancer and there are parts in this book that I could see myself living through as well. The author did her mother-in-law and the love of her life true reverence in her writing. A young love found, lost and found again to only loose to soon. An absolute excellent read!

<b>5 stars! Paige’s at her best!</b><br /><br />You know that moment when you begin to read a book and you feel it’s going to be an ugly cry read, but yet you can’t stop devouring what you’re reading? Your head is pounding because you can’t stop crying and your tears aren’t an obstacle to finish this book? Your heart keeps clenching and you know it’s coming but you are in denial? That was me throughout this book. <br /><br />If there is one thing that this author can deliver besides angst is tears- not little tears, but ugly sob tears that mess with your heart and mind. It’s those type of stories that stay with you forever and that make you think about it for days. <br /><br />I loved it even though this story is heartbreaking, but it also made me laugh and contemplate about life. <b>Charlotte</b> and <b>Travis</b>’s journey is realistic, raw and poignant. I won’t go into the plot- just know that you will need your tissues and that this book isn’t for the faint of heart. <br /><br />I love that there are two stories being told at once. We get the past (based on actual events) and the present with new characters that you can’t help but love too. I know I am being cryptic, but I don’t want to spoil it for anyone. I can’t wait for <b>Paige</b>’s next book!

If I’d Known<br>By Paige P. Horne<br>5 Summer of 72 Stars!!!<br><br>WOW!!! Emotionally gutted right now. That’s how I am feeling after just finishing this story. New to me author, Paige P. Horne wrote a beautiful love story. One that isn’t the typical love story but one that needed to be told. <br><br>The summer of 72, is when it all started. Young and falling in love. A love that would span over many many years. How can you stay in love with someone when everyone around you is pushing you apart? <br><br>How do you convince people that your heart knows? <br>Its telling you, you are in love… <br>When you are young and respectful though, you listen to your elders.<br><br>Even after the years have gone by, your heart still beats for that one person. Unable to move on, unable to forget, unable to live a happy life.<br><br>When it finally happens and a promise is made, life should be perfect now. But life has a way of throwing in a curve ball every now and then. <br><br>I was sucked into this book from the get go. Loved reading about how things were back in the 70’s and 80’s as that is how I remember life. When you feel totally invested into the love that this story brings you, you are thrown into the tornado. Spinning your emotions round and round until you are emotionally drained and the story is over. It’s not an easy love story to read about but you do feel the love these two had from that very first day they met! Outstanding job Paige P. Horne on bringing to pages the story that deserved to be told to everyone!!!<br><br>#BookBistroBlogApproved<br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/photos/1509458959p8/3637777.jpg" width="300" height="300" alt="description" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br>Follow us on:<br>FB – <a target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/BookBistroBlog">https://www.facebook.com/groups/BookB...</a><br>Blog -<a target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" href="https://bookbistroblogcom.wordpress.com">https://bookbistroblogcom.wordpress.com</a><br>Blog -<a target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" href="https://bookbistroblogger.blogspot.com">https://bookbistroblogger.blogspot.com</a><br>Twitter - <a target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" href="https://www.twitter.com/BookBistro">https://www.twitter.com/BookBistro</a><br>Instagram - <a target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/BookBistroBlog">https://www.instagram.com/BookBistroBlog</a><br>

This book will make you laugh,cry,and have all the feels. Being based on a true story makes it even better! Only some people get to experience a real true love. Charlotte and Travis definitely had that true love. If you are looking for a love story to read this is definitely the book to read.

Oh my goodness! This book had wrecked me. The amount of tears that are coming down are insane. A love like Travis's and Charlotte's cannot be recreated. Hold every moment dear . Regrets can never be an option. Look towards life and family and the people you love. That is what matters most. Life is unfair under these circumstances. This author's writing and story sucked me in and made me feel everything. It makes you realise you cannot dwell over the little things. Hold onto your love and never let go. A love like theirs was truly a gift. And finding friends to share the journey with made all the difference.
