| What an incredibly written story! I am not sure I have enough accolades to describe this true story. Elizabeth and Harry (not their real names) is a couple with a past, to say the least! The two were married for 24 years and divorced after Elizabeth checked herself into a rehabilitation facility for alcoholism. Each later married someone else—Elizabeth moved to Los Angeles and Harry remained in Colorado.
After each one’s second spouse died, they met at their daughter’s home for Christmas; it was an awkward situation, but each was reminded of how good their lives were before. Again, this happened; the two began to make small, seemingly insignificant, contact with each other. The book begins by telling the reader an overview of the entire narrative; there is no surprise about the ending. The couple changed their names for this book, but the story, itself, is true. Their distinctive interpretation of their lives is such a fascinating slant on authorship. The book is written in a “He Said/She Said” format. When reading these memories by each of them, it is obvious that men and women certainly view situations differently. I truly believe that, no matter your preferred genre, you will enjoy this book. It Had To Be Us is a marvelous pick-me-up, fast-paced rendition of how lives can come full circle! You will be thrilled if you take time to read this book!
