That’s how I felt about Lili and Theo. As I neared the end and knew that also meant the end of my time engaged in their story, I felt a little sad. This book was deep and beautifully written. Character development was obviously spot on. The only reason I don’t give this book 5 stars is because the end left so many questions unanswered. What happened to Esti? To Niko? What will happen next in Lili, Theo, and Thomas� lives? It ended too abruptly!!!!!! I’m hoping that means a sequel will be coming?! But overall it’s a story & characters who I will cherish forever. It’s a book I will read again!
I loved the author’s first book We Were The Lucky Ones, so when I saw Georgia Hunter had a new book coming out I was so excited! Then I saw the giveaway on Good Reads for the book & put my name in the drawing. I never thought I’d win, but I was elated when I did! Thanks Good Reads for the beautiful book & for the opportunity to be one of the first to read a copy of One Good Thing! ...more

I have read two other novels by Rachel Linden & enjoyed them all and this book was no exception. It was filled with so many life lessons. I wrote down many quotes in my reading journal.
Georgia was a very relatable character. Life is messy. We all get hurt, betrayed, lose our spark & our taste of wonder. I loved Georgia’s journey in discovering her heritage, women who were strong & had gifts that they used to help others. We also all have some form of tragedy in our lives. Georgia was able to forgive & reconcile with her parents. Although her mother wasn’t there for her as a child, she was able to forgive her & develop a meaning relationship with her in adulthood.
The romance aspect of this story was sweet. I was grateful it was also tasteful & not too explicit. I could allow my teen daughter to read it.
All in all this book is a keeper. I loved so much about it & the story captivated me. It was hard to put down & when life demanded I did, I couldn’t wait to open it again! ...more
