Reviews

“A page-turning story of love and starting over, You, Always The Years of Us should definitely be your next book club read! Heartbreaking and tender, the author deftly creates a fast-moving plot with believable characters and genuine dialogue. Jay takes us on an emotional and relatable ride as Audrey and Jim navigate 40 years of love, regret and missed opportunities. This book is for anyone who believes in soulmates or is still carrying a forever torch for the one that got away. I look forward to more work from this debut author.”

“Life can be messy, and it doesn’t always dovetail with love and making commitments. Audrey and Jim rue the loss of opportunities and missed possibilities. As time moved forward and absence and distractions prevailed, I couldn’t help wondering if their love for one another would erode with it. How many more chances would they squander, or excuses would they come up with? Would it be too late? Would the timing ever be right for them? These were the questions that kept me turning the pages well into the night as I was eager to find out if Audrey and Jim would ever achieve their love story. Heartwarming and beautifully written.”

“Like most love stories, You Always is filled with heart ache, heartbreak, frustration, anger, betrayal and moments so beautiful they are beyond our wildest emotions. This is a novel we can all relate to and cherish as we navigate our own messy love lives. Not all ‘happily ever after’s” look the same or run smoothly. But as new author Lauryn Jay shares with us, they can offer us hope and sustenance to get through our longest of days.”
