About the Book

ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO ERASE YOUR LOVE?

This is an impossible love story…

Cooper came home unexpectedly early that day. The day her world collapsed. The day she heard things she shouldn’t have. Saw things she shouldn’t have.

Now Cooper is running away. Driving recklessly. Blindly. A broken heart spiraling out of control after witnessing an earth-shattering scene.

Then Cooper discovers the website. Speaks to the doctors. Can they help her? Can they give her the treatment she desperately wants? Yes, they can. They can do something mind-blowing.

They can surgically erase her love for her husband Jethro.

Only what appears to be the perfect solution sets off a devastating chain of events not only for Jethro and herself. But one also involves their teenage son Daniel in ways she can’t imagine.

A life-shattering moment. A rash decision. An easy solution. This isn’t just a love story. Not when a heart isn’t just broken, it is irreversibly silenced.

This is an impossible love story.

My Thoughts

This book is not like anything else I’ve ever read. It was heartwrenching and beautiful and horrible, sometimes all at the same time. It was absolutely one of those books that wrecked me but in the best kind of way. Boo-hooing, cursing the fates, a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach – all things that happened during the reading of this book. And love. Over 500 pages, one can’t help but fall in love with the characters, as messy and human and real as they are. Our cast of main characters is a gorgeous study of the human condition. A microcosm of some of the best and worst parts of humanity – love, fame, jealousy, selfishness, self-sacrifice, humility, and so much more.

Though this revolutionary treatment is science fiction, it will likely leave you wondering if you would do the same in Cooper’s place. The devastating aftermath, however, is a poignant and deep piece of social commentary. The characters are beautifully developed, and the world – though mostly our own – is so intriguing in its differences. What would a world with love deleted look like?

The writing style took some getting used to. As a neurodivergent individual, I was fully ready to dock a full star for the lack of quotation marks. This is apparently a trend now. It’s fine, whatever. The problem is that people with actual brain differences can have a harder time interpreting it. I did at times, and it did affect my enjoyment. But I enjoyed the book so much, I gave back half a star.

Despite the book’s long length, it was a hugely compelling read and went quickly. I needed to know what was going to happen and couldn’t put the book down! I am so pleased that the author and Love Books Tours included me on this book tour, and it has not affected my review of the book.

Who’s It For

The blurb says this book is an impossible love story, and that is absolutely true. So if you’re a hopeless romantic, buckle up, because you’re going to keep hoping throughout this book right up until the final pages.

However, it also deals with serious mental health issues, including depression and suicidal ideation, as well as infertility.
