How do you define yourself when others have already decided who you are?

Six years ago, when Camden Daniels came back from war without his younger brother, no one in the small town of Alba, Colorado, would forgive him—especially his father. He left, swearing never to return.

But a desperate message from his father brings it all back. The betrayal. The pain. And the need to go home again.

But home is where the one person he still loves is waiting. Willow. The one woman he can never have, because there are secrets buried in Alba that are best left in the dark...

Great and Precious Things is a heart-wrenching forbidden romance about family, betrayal, and ultimately how far we’re willing to go on behalf of those we love and who need us most.

Great And Precious Things is an extraordinarily beautiful contemporary romance by Rebecca Yarros, and a novel you do not want to miss.
 
Six years ago when Camden Daniels came back form war without his younger brother, no one in the small town of Alba, Colorado, would forgive him- especially his father.
 
He left, swearing he would never return.
 
But a desperate message from his father brings it all back. The betrayal. The pain. And the need to go home again. But home is where the one person he still loves is waiting.

Willow.
 
The one woman he can never have, because there are secrets buried in Alba that are best left in the dark.
 
If only he could tell his heart to stay locked away when she whispers she’s always loved him, and always will
 
I have been a huge fan of Rebecca Yarros since I picked up her first novel Full Measures in 2014 and with every new book I’m sure she couldn’t possibly outdo the last, and every time she does.

 Great and Precious Things is a phenomenal, heart wrenchingly perfect novel about love, loss and family.

Great and Precious Things is such a beautiful novel and I loved the relationship between Camden and Willow and how naturally it seemed to progress, along with the intense and passionate chemistry between them.
 
Camden’s relationship with his father and his reason for returning to Alba was heart-wrenching and I loved how that unfolded throughout the novel with such natural pacing and emotional provoking way that made my heart break for Camden and his father.
 
Great And Precious Things was such a flawlessly impeccable novel that as soon as I finished it I wanted to immediately start it again so I could continue to bask in the world & characters Rebecca Yarros has created.

5.0 out of 5 stars She hits like Jodi Picoult
Reviewed in the United States on 9 February 2024

Phenomenal story that interweaves changing POV and intertwining plot lines seamlessly. RY feels much like one of my other favorite authors (Jodi Picoult), in that she takes very timely issues and then puts 2 characters we all love into the center, and then lets chaos loose. You and the characters are forever changed by what happens...

The characters (both their flaws and their assets) are so believable I feel like I have met them at the supermarket.

And OH, the plot twists! One crucial one (no spoilers but you will know it when you read it) I saw coming, but the rest were a complete shock!

One of my favorite parts is the totally unique and random settings she chooses. This one is set in modern time in a Colorado ghost town. Who would think of that?! 🥰

If you love a romance about soul mates that will wring your heart out but leave it intact (warning, not all RY leave it that way!!), this is a perfect choice.

One last thing--as of 2/9/24, the ending says there is an epilogue, but it isn't quite done yet (as told by her PA to the fan group), but hopefully we all have it soon! 😍🤩

Another masterpiece from Rebecca Yarros. This is a beatiful story about love, family, grief and guilt.. second chances and the importance of being able to make your own decisions. The writing is amazing, the story unique. I LOVE military romance and Rebecca Yarros is the queen of it. I don't know how she does it but she creates the best fictional men. 100% reccommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Best Read for 2021

This is the second book I read by Rebecca Yarros. I had to muster up my courage, emotionally, to pick up another book of hers. She ruined me after reading The Last Letter, my heart still aches just thinking about that book. This book is no exception, it is beautifully written, well thought out, poignant love story full of heartwarming and at times gut wrenching emotions and feelings. This book has everything I enjoyed in a love story. I can’t remember the last time I bookmarked and highlighted a book so many times. The compelling and moving narrative captivated me, taking me on an emotional journey through the highs and lows of the story, I couldn’t put the book down. I fell very hard with the two main characters, their love for each other were all-encompassing from the start. Thanks to the acting talents of narrator Carly Robins and new to me narrator, Eric Michael Summerer they were able to evoked so many emotions, helped me lose myself in the book and brought the whole story to life. My best read/listen for 2021.

4.0 out of 5 stars “You’re Free To Make Your Own Choices, But You’re Not Free From The Consequences Of That Choice.”
Reviewed in the United States on 10 February 2024
Verified Purchase
Ms. Yarros once again penned a deeply moving and thought-provoking story. It followed a familiar trope involving the selfless, guilt-ridden, self- loathing character (Camden), a woman (Willow) who longed to be with Camden, but is met with much resistance. Camden lives with the belief that he is unworthy of Willow.

Much of the story was slow going and personally I found Camden’s personal struggles tedious at times, wondering when he will be able to move forward with his life and find the joy he wholeheartedly deserved. The small town that held grudges made Camden’s life difficult.

The highlight of this story for me, that made this book worth the read is the issue of Alzheimer’s for the inflicted individual as well as family dealing with the care. She compassionately addressed the rights or lack thereof for an Alzheimer’s individual to decide whether a DNR request could be honored. There are valid opposing opinions that make these wishes a difficult one. Ms. Yarros’ emphasis on “the freedom to choose” was SO beautifully addressed and profound.

Relationships with siblings, struggles to overcome a label, and the downside of small town life are all woven into this story. I love the passion in Ms. Yarros’ story telling. Always heartfelt and heart rendering. I won’t soon forget the underlying message of the story. Worth the read!
