Love for Beginners: A USA TODAY Bestselling Contemporary Romance About a Broken Engagement, Starting Over, and Falling in Love Again (The Wildstone Series, 7)

I have to say that a dog named Hog stole this book. Yes, my favorite character in this book is a fraidy cat, support animal dropout, 110-pound St. Bernard/Chewbacca farting dog. Emma Hart is recovering from being hit by a car and spending time in a coma. She has had to relearn to walk and is slowly working her way back to a life.

Love for Beginners is another hit for author Jill Shalvis. Her books never disappoint. Emma had a serious accident that left her in a coma for two months. During those two months her fiancée and her best friend fell in love. When she woke up from her coma her life had disintegrated and her body was broken and hurting. She had many surgeries and lots of PT while in rehab. It was there that she met Simon, her physical therapist. There was attraction there but both of them ignored it. She also had survivors guilt. She had been out jogging and stepped off the curb when she was hit by a car that did not see the stop sign due to hanging foliage. The driver of that car lost his wife in the accident and Emma just couldn't escape the fact that this was all her fault. This is a story about how Emma gets her life back. She also learns that her life now does not look like her previous life and she is okay with that. After getting her heart broken she doesn't know if she can trust or even feel her own emotions. But there is definitely something between her and Simon. This is a love story and much more. It is also about what you have to do to get your life back. You will shed more than a few tears but in the end you will finally be smiling. I loved every minute of this book and didn't want it to end.
