Sipping champagne at one of the chicest restaurants in Seattle Kailey Crain can't believe her good fortune. Her journalist career is taking off and she's engaged to a guy who is perfect in nearly every way. As she and her fiance Ryan leave the restaurant, Kailey offers her leftovers to a homeless man sitting outside, and is stunned when their eyes meet, then stricken to her very core: The man is the love of her life, Cade McAllister.
When Kailey met Cade ten years ago, their attraction was immediate and intense only to end as suddenly as it began, leaving Kailey devastated. Now the man before her is a faded version of her former beloved. Unable to walk away Kailey secretly helps Cade begin to piece his life together. But as she revisits her long-ago relationship, Kailey realizes that she must decide exactly what - and whom - she really wants.
Alternating between the past and the present, Always is a beautifully unfolding exploration of a woman faced with an impossible choice, a woman who discovers what she's willing to save and what she will sacrifice for true love.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Jio's (Goodnight June) newest novel explores intersections of past and present and the complexities of love. Kailey Crane, a journalist at the Seattle Herald, is happily engaged and looking forward to her future when she has encounters a homeless man she recognizes as Cade, the man she once called the love of her life. Alternating between 2008 and a decade earlier, the narrative details Kailey's relationship with Cade and her present life with her fianc , Ryan. When Kailey realizes that Cade does not remember who he is or what happened to him, she embarks on a quest to help him find out. She must confront her own past as she tries to figure out what she really wants. The story is most compelling when exploring Kailey's internal conflict, though her choice between the two men is made too easy. And though the mystery surrounding Cade ultimately seems underdeveloped, fans of Jio's work will still find her signature emotional depth.
