More Than a Memory

---

See a Problem?

The fact that I finished reading this book with the thought that she loves Duncan x more than Bryson, just means the author failed in showing me a real romance between Olivia and Bryson. And how I felt after finishing the book? In fact I had a hard time finding what he loved in her tbh: I felt he deserved better because it was obvious to me that Duncan was her first choice, and Bryson was her second.

And I couldn't help but think Bryson deserved to be someone's first choice. This one as opposed to the others couldn't convince me of the love because to me, he was second choice completely. Again though I want to reiterate that I am one of very few who dislikes it so please don't let me deter you from reading it: View all 3 comments. This book blew me away. I could not put it down. I love Marie James' work, but she outdid herself with this one. The book was an emotional roller coaster of a journey, and will test even the strongest of hearts.

The main characters were so easy to get wrapped up in. Bryson's determination and desire to help Liv truly live again are nothing less This book blew me away. Bryson's determination and desire to help Liv truly live again are nothing less than swoon-worthy. Make sure you have tissues handy, as they will most definitely be needed. This is not your typical, boy meets girl, and they fall in love and live happily ever after scenario. This book is deep and meaningful and shows so much growth in Marie James as a writer. This is one of my favorite reads of the year!!!

I have been a big fan of Marie James's MC series but they are nothing on this book.

This book broke me and put me back together again. This is the story of Olivia and her new roommate Bryson. Bryson listens to her video chats with Duncan everyday but can't stop himself from falling for the girl who is so in love with the voice she hears and sees on her computer screen everyday. This book has your emotions all over the place not knowing I received an ARC of this book and I am so glad that I did.

This book has your emotions all over the place not knowing what is coming next not knowing what you will feel next. Your heart breaks right alongside Olivia's feeling the depths of depression she lives in. The hope you feel is Bryson who is trying to pull a smile from her face. This book will be more than a memory to me. Where have you been all my life??? Apparently in the mind of Marie James just waiting to come out. I'm not sure if I have given enough of a hint as to how I felt about the leading man in this book, but allow me to elaborate. From the very beginning of this story, initially being introduced to Bryson, I was sold.

Even with his bad boy ways and views on relationships, I still could see the silver lining and the diamond in the rough. His compassion, depth of under 4. His compassion, depth of understanding, and just the obvious capacity for love that he showed won me over with every chapter and every action. There were moments where I wanted to scream at Olivia, her mom and Simone even to wake up and realize what a genuinely good guy he was. Maybe his past wasn't squeaky clean. Maybe he was sometimes a little too direct in his thoughts and actions with women until Olivia came along, but in my opinion his history helped make him who he is.

And I appreciated every faucet of that. Not many men could or would have handled all the hurdles thrown in his way so wonderfully. Olivia was a very damaged woman and her views on relationships and the walls she had up around herself made perfect sense. I just sometimes felt she was too harsh and hurtful towards Bryson.

But her journey to bring down those walls and move forward through out this story was heartbreaking but beautiful at the same time. In the end, I loved this story. I love this author's brain and what comes out of it. And I love, love, love Bryson. I have a read Ms. I was absolutely blown away by this title. I may have found myself sitting in my idle car, reading for an hour not once, but twice today. From the first moment this story opened, I was drawn in. You know from the start that there's something "wrong" with Olivia and you want to help her.

Add in a meddling mother, a nosey twin, and you get yourself a roommate situation that will have your head spinning. And n I have a read Ms. And no worries, there's plenty of opportunities for your eyes to fix their dryness You may just rock the puffy-face for a little while.

The feels in this book were absolutely there. They have some rough patches but when it comes down to it Bryson is definitely swoon worthy. Some readers may become annoyed with Olivia's healing process--it's lengthy. But I personally found it to be true to her character and for everything she felt. Her anxiety with moving on was heartwrenching, just as the arms that were there to hold her were heartwarming. I sure hope this one is becoming a series. I don't have enough words to describe how much I loved this book!

It grabbed me from the very beginning and held me tight until the very end. As soon as Olivia and Bryson meet there's a definite attraction. Only problem is, Bryson has heard Olivia's video chats with Duncan. That makes her off limits in his eyes. But there's something about this girl He also can't I don't have enough words to describe how much I loved this book!

He also can't deny the jealousy he has towards Duncan and can't understand why he wouldn't be here with Olivia when it's obvious how much she needs him.

Olivia is holding on by a thread Now her warring emotions have her fighting her demons that she wanted to keep buried. Bryson will no doubt become everyone's new book boyfriend! Olivia is beautifully broken and watching Bryson put her back together gave me all the feels! Of course she has added other characters which will, no doubt, have people begging for more! I will happily read anything she chooses to add to this!! I do not what to go into detail about the story and the people involved because to do so may spoil the journey for you and it is one you need to travel yourself.

I am hoping we will get follow on books involving the other characters in this story.

I received this book as an ARC. I have read Marie James's MC series, and this book was nothing like it. I am glad that I was chosen to preview it. Olivia, a heart broken young woman and Bryson the young man who puts her back together. This book was excellent! Well written and made me feel every emotion that Bryson and Olivia went through.

She really pulled your heart strings with this one. If you need something different, and a all around feel good story, this one is for you.

A sweet but heart-wrenching romance set in college. Whilst I really enjoyed the book and loved the characters I really did need a more fleshed out epilogue. I would have preferred that a lot more than reading about Olivia's depression which was covered rather heavily. I get she was depressed and once the reveals were made I totally got why but as I said, more on their future would have bumped this up to a 5 star read.

I was given an ARC for an honest review. What a wonderfully beautiful, heartwarming, and heartbreaking story. If you have ever felt a loss so profound that you believe you will never ever get over, this story shows you that there is life after heartbreak. There can be love after loss. Moving on, like I said the story is set in college and if I knew that at the time, I may not have considered reading it. Normally a character like Olivia would frustrate me to tears with her huge mood swings, but not once was I frustrated with her. Now Bryson on the other hand did frustrate me several times.

I did like him, and I loved that he helped bring Olivia out of hiding, but sometimes he flat out treated her terribly. I did enjoy the story and it certainly brought out some strong emotions; I was crying so much at one scene that I had to stop and take a break. It does come with a HEA, but I was left wondering one thing: Did Bryson go pro? For more reviews, please visit our website: I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I'm at the point where words almost can't describe how much I love Marie, and how much her work continues to take my breath away. More Than A Memory is just another reason to absolutely love this woman! Her work is SO phenomenal and perfect! With that said this book is a good bit different from other's she's written, a bit softer. I like this softer side of her. The amount of emotions that are emoted from this book are endless.

You have to be someone who can take on those emotions and be ready to I'm at the point where words almost can't describe how much I love Marie, and how much her work continues to take my breath away. You have to be someone who can take on those emotions and be ready to live, feel, and breathe these emotions to read this book. Olivia has such a profound past, that you almost need to take a step back and re-evaluate when you find out all of it.

With that re-evaluation I had so much more respect for her than I did from the beginning. And Bryson, he is so beyond perfect. From the beginning he seems like such a sweetheart and then when you get to know him better, you fall down the rabbit hole with Olivia. How can you not? He's so perfect and he's the perfect person to help her become herself again. Olivia is a caterpillar that needs to bloom, and he helps to sew her cocoon. That makes him SUCH a beautiful human being and such an amazing man and partner.

Oh my goodness what a touching, heartfelt, loving book. I didn't want it to end. My heart broke for Olivia a million times over. When you love someone so much and the unthinkable happens how does one move on? Olivia struggles with that on a daily basis. She has fallen into a routine of compulsive behavior and secludes herself away from the real world.

Bryson, Olivia's new roommate that she fought her Mom on about him moving in, is the complete opposite of her. He is messy, unorganized and very ou Oh my goodness what a touching, heartfelt, loving book. He is messy, unorganized and very outgoing. Can he be what Olivia needs to get out of her depression. There is a definite attraction that Bryson feels towards Olivia. Something has stirred in him that has never surfaced before. He wants to help her overcome her sadness and hurt but how does one compete with a memory that one is holding onto so strong?

Marie James has brought to life a story of love, hope and faith and unfortunately heartbreak. More Than A Memory had me in tears at times both happy and sad. I truly enjoyed this story and hope there is more. I would love to know more about Liam and JJ! The blurb doesn't tell you just what this story is about, and I'm not going to spoil it and tell you; must read it for yourself.

Olivia is in love with Duncan, but she can only see him on the computer, and it has taken over her life. This separation is taking its toll on Olivia; she barely eats, stopped going to school, she sits by her computer and waits for when its time to chat with Duncan. Her mother decides that its tim Review by: Her mother decides that its time for a roommate, and this is where Bryson comes into the picture.

Bryson see Olivia and at first he keeps his distance, but slowly Olivia creeps under his skin, the need to see her more, the need to be with her, but he is respectful of Duncan, until he has to make her see that he is in front of her and Duncan isn't. To say that this was amazing doesn't even give it enough praise. The twist you never see coming, you keep asking yourself if Bryson will get Olivia to see the truth. The sexy times were incredibly hot. I've read the Hale Series by Marie James so I was kind of surprised when this one was about college kids and quite emotional.

With a non traditional love triangle Olivia, Duncan and Bryson are full of emotions. From sexy, beautiful moments to absolute full on depression. From lying by omission to words of love. Olivia is riddled with depression. She's dropped out of school, doesn't leave the house, and more than a touch OCD We get glimpses of Duncan thr I've read the Hale Series by Marie James so I was kind of surprised when this one was about college kids and quite emotional.

We get glimpses of Duncan through online conversation, and Bryson is new to Oregon State and Olivia's new room mate per her mothers request. Feelings fester, feelings blossom and misunderstanding abounds. This was wonderfully well written and it was hard to not fall in love with Bryson. The storyline was well done and very engaging. Once I started I didn't want to stop. Is there a factory that puts out mega hot sensitive guys?

Being a baseball player isn't a requirement but the physique is a definite plus! You may have gathered from my spontaneous lusting that Bryson is indeed, extra hot. He is patient, kind, and a saint compared to most boys his age. More Than A Memory is a tragic romance that will warm your heart.

Ollie lives in an isolated bubble of misery. She's forced to take on a roommate. Who knew she would hate the chan 3. Who knew she would hate the changes he forces so much?

Ok, well anyone would guess it, true. But Ollie, didn't- so there!

Ollie didn't see him coming. She may have watched him go though- seriously, dude is a collegiate baseball player, who wouldn't watch that walk away. That is until him walking away hurt her too much. I wanted to hug them all through this story. So many affected by the changes in Ollie The situation is tragic but life goes on It's a heart warming story. What an unbelievably wonderful story.

Heart-wrenching, smile provoking, giggle inducing, heartwarming story all rolled up into one powerhouse of a book. These characters are not only well developed, but the are ones that you will find yourself holding on to, never wanting to let them go. The emotions that Ollie goes through during this book will have you keeping the tissue box close by, and it's Bryson who will steal your heart. The storyline is one that will move you beyond words as you read th What an unbelievably wonderful story. The song spent a total of 20 weeks on Hot Country Songs.
