Before You
From USA Today bestselling author Marni Mann comes Before You, a new contemporary romance and a devastating examination of the things we find, the things we make, and the things we lose. It was supposed to be a typical work trip. New York to San Francisco, window seat, exit row.
Maybe a mimosa. Then, seat 14B sat down. When our eyes met, the flight became anything but routine.
I could pinpoint the moments in my life where everything changed forever. Meeting Jared on that flight was first. Falling in love with him was second.
Discovering the secrets he kept was third. Putting my broken self back together and forgetting what I learned would be difficult. Forgiving Jared would be impossible.
He said, before me, nothing mattered. But after him, nothing would ever be the same.

This story follows Honey from the 1980s, and Billie and Jared in the present. It goes through Honey's life after meeting Andrew, a doctor that she sees when she has to have unexpected surgery. They date and fall in love. They go through some struggles, but it helps them grow stronger. They are thriving and enjoying life when a horrible accident occurs. Billie and Jared meet on a plane, and when that plane's engine is hit by a drone, Jared is determined to protect Billie with everything he has. They survive the crash. He is hesitant to see her again after the crash, but when he does, he can't seem to stay away. They start seeing each other, even though Jared knows that it will end badly. When his secret is revealed, it breaks Billie, and she doesn't know what to do or think about it. This was such a great story. When all the pieces started to slide into place, it made so much sense. Even with all the trauma and sadness within the story, it was so good.
