The Things We Leave Unfinished by Rebecca Yarros
This novel follows two split timelines, one in present day where Georgia is having to find herself again after a public divorce and her grandmother's death and the other during WWII where her grandmother, Scarlett's, epic love story takes place. The parallels between these creative females and their bond through books and life was moving to read. In present day, Georgia is forced into having her grandmother’s last novel finished by a very handsome writer and the shift to the past tells us about the novel from the POV of her grandparents meeting and falling in love. The story is moving, real and hits you in all the feels.
