What an emotional love story, I wasn’t sure if I would like it, as I have never read a Jessica Redlands book before, but by chapter 4 I was hooked and by 28 I was fully invested in the lives of Jemma and Sam. 

What are the chances that 2 people, from the same town, who have both gone through such a devastating loss, only to find each other in London, through Jemma’s friend Tiff, who works at the same hospital as Sam! remarkable right! but sometimes fate works in the most mysterious ways. And boy does it, as Sam was only meeting with Jemma in a professional capacity as a doctor, only to find friendship instead, but as it blooms into something else, guilt comes back with it, and then so do the ex’s 

All You Need is Love is a heartbreaking tale of loss and love, of letting go and starting again, and I was totally here for every minute of this enchanting story, even if it did make me cry buckets, not only for Sam and Jemma but for Logan and Jemma's mum too.

 

I give All You Need is Love 5 stars.
