REVIEW: These Three Words by Holly Jacobs

Posted November 16th, 2015 by in Blog, Contemporary Romance, Review / 3 comments

These Three Words by Holly Jacobs is about rediscovering love, even during the toughest times.

These Three WordsGray and Addie met in Kindergarten. They’ve been friends ever since. As they got older, their friendship developed into something more and eventually it led to marriage. They were happy until a tragedy separated them.

The story starts off with Addie going to Gray’s office to let him know she wants a divorce. Only after she gets there he collapses and has to be rushed to the hospital. The whole time this is going on, Addie is numb. As she’s waiting for Gray to get out of surgery, she tries to remember the love she has for him. As Addie relives her relationship with Gray we get a glimpse of the love they shared and the all the good times they had together.

“I got stuck on that one horrible moment and forgot the hundreds of other moments. The better moments.”

Addie and Gray are opposites. She’s talkative and outgoing while he is quiet and thinks things through in silence. They both have different ways of coping and when tragedy struck, communication was nonexistent. They were both suffering, just not together.

“I only need three words from you, Gray.”

Sometimes all you need is for someone to tell you they are there for you and that they love you. I think sometimes people take for granted those three words and this story really drives home the importance of communication.

Overall, These Three Words is a good read and if you’re in the mood to cry a few tears, definitely give this story a read.

Starting over is never easy. Addie and Graham “Gray” Grayson should know: they are a couple on the brink. But they weren’t always. Childhood friends who fell in love, they complemented each other perfectly: her sunny, gregarious outlook was an ideal foil for Gray’s quiet, careful personality. But when an unexpected heartbreak sweeps them into grief, they’re forced to question the fraying bonds that once held them so tightly.

Just before Addie walks away for good, Gray’s life is suddenly left hanging in the balance—and Addie’s waiting for news at the hospital. But she’s not alone. Through the stories other families share, she remembers what first brought her and Gray together and realizes how much of their connection still remains. Can letting go of the past also mean embracing the future? Perhaps the words they once said to each other can become a bridge that leads them back to love, to hope, and to a second chance that could last a lifetime.
