Madeline Miller, author of Circe After almost twenty years together, Stella and Simon are starting to run into problems. An up-and-coming rock musician when they first met, Simon has been clinging to dreams of fame even as the possibility of it has grown dimmer, and now that his band might finally be on the brink again, he wants to go on the road, leaving Stella behind. But when she falls into a coma on the eve of his departure, he has to make a choice between stardom and his wifeand when she wakes a different person, with an incredible artistic talent of her own, the two of them must examine what it is that they really want.

I remember seeing this gorgeous cover around when this was first released, so it jumped out at me when browsing available library picks. I really enjoyed it! Definitely a shift from what I've been reading lately, and completely unexpected. But it made me think and it tugged on my heart strings. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thought this story was a great example of how someone's life can change in an instant. It's also a perfect reminder of how the worst thing you can do in your life is stay in an unhappy situation simply because you‘re afraid of change. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #arc

Whew-squeaked in one more July read! I‘m a huge of Leavitt‘s, so I was beyond thrilled to be approved to read this #NetGalley #ARC! Leavitt manages to cram in a lot in this slim novel. It opens with an early 40s couple realizing that for the first time in being together since their 20s, they want different things. Musician Simon still seeks fame but nurse Stella craves permanence & family. One night spent trying to reconnect changes everything!
