Since the day she married her husband, Lo Harper has watched her happy ever after slip away before her eyes. Feeling lost and alone, she’s stumbling through life, each day getting longer, harder, and more hopeless. She doesn’t know how much longer she can hold on. Until she meets a stranger who ironically becomes a lifeline after he nearly runs her down. He’s charming, kind, and he doesn’t pry. He’s just there, making Lo smile, distracting her, if only briefly. Because she will always return to the pain. To the heartbreak. To the unshakable guilt.

Luke Williamson is successful, content, and he keeps his relationships with women uncomplicated. But his simple, carefree life is turned up on its head the night a young woman walks out in front of his car. Drawn to each other for very different reasons, Lo and Luke forge an unlikely friendship that they both come to rely on. And yet while Luke shares his life with Lo, he knows she’s keeping hers from him. And as her truth unfolds, Luke slowly realizes that for Lo to have her happy ever after, he must sacrifice his own.

So he has to make the ultimate decision.

Keep Lo in his life as she is, a broken, shadow of a woman.

Or walk away and let her heal.

This book is totally consuming. It’s a romantic, heart wrenching story. It’s tragic. And it’s beautiful.

Steve (the puppy) and Lo’s dog, Boris, are the sweet, comic relief needed here.

Luke and his best friend Todd are the ultimate “bromance”. Jodi is a master at writing intriguing, captivating secondary characters and Todd, Luke’s grandpa (“pop”) and daughter Tia are no exception. And I can’t tell you how many times I wanted to smack her mother-in-law, Linda. Evil cow.

If you have a beating heart, you will cry so be prepared for that. Lo’s strength and determination are nothing short of amazing and emotionally heart wrenching. Luke, the man who comes into her life at exactly the right time, however unexpectedly, will capture your heart. He’s giving, kind, selfless to a fault, and will tear at your heart strings. There’s nothing more I can say without giving away the story and I want everyone to experience this gorgeous tale of loss, and ultimately hope, as I did, without knowing any of what’s to come.

Jodi, thank you for this exquisite read and an ending I’m still shedding tears over. No matter how long it takes, love ultimately wins. Brilliant Jodi. Stunningly brilliant.

Confessions of a Book Stalker
5.0 out of 5 stars This story will stick with me forever. A must read!
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2023

I went for this book sceptically. It didn’t seem at all like the other Jodi Ellen Malpas books I read and I read them all….big fan of her work.

I often see people commenting they sobbed reading a book and I always thought people exaggerate. They shed tears sure...I've shed many tears reading my books but sobbing? I hardly believe that happens that often. I've never sobbed reading a book. Well, not until this book. Today I can say that, for the first time reading a book, I sobbed uncontrollably. I cried so hard I had to stop reading, I couldn't see anything. My husband discouraged me from continuing the book because he never saw me like this before. I was wrecked. It's such a beautiful and heartbreaking story I have tears in my eyes again just thinking about it. I've read all Jodi’s books and I loved them all but this one? This one I will remember forever.

If you’re looking for romance you’ll barely feel it in this story. This story talks about a newlywed couple struggling with the fact that one of them has cancer. The woman can barely support them financially since he can’t work and she struggles a lot, feels very alone and even thinks/ attempts to kill herself. She finds a bit of solace in the man that nearly killed her by accident. They develop a beautiful and strong friendship. The scenes with the couple are very strong and dramatic so be advised before you read it but there are also many funny scenes with other characters so it lightens the mood a bit. Despiteall this, it’s a beautiful story about love, friendship, and loyalty. If you can get past all the triggers, you definitely should read it. I’ll never forget this book. It will be forever engraved in my mind and for that, I’ll give it 5 stars.

This was the most beautiful love story I’ve ever read!!

Luke and Lo’s love story is one I’ll never forget. It’s filled with hope, joy, need, patience, and unrequited love. Lo had to endure some unexpected loss. Imagine ready to embark life with the love of your life and then have it all taken away in a heartbeat. I’m a true believer that everything happens for a reason and people come into our lives for a reason. Luke and Lo meet at one of Lo’s lowest points. But it turned out he was her light that she didn’t know she needed.

For You is heartbreaking, funny, hopeful, joyful and in the end absolutely heartwarming filled with love. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a great love story. Your heart will go through the trenches, but Ms. Malpas will put back together 🥰. I give For You easily two huge thumbs up!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Mostly great

Despite a couple of rather large blunders and absolutely no spice, I still loved the book. It's an emotional rollercoaster of epic proportions. If you're a crying reader, expect to go through some hankies.

The good stuff:
You can really feel deeply for all of the characters. They were portrayed carefully and sensitively. Their reasons are clear, and while there may be emotions that are unfamiliar to some readers, they seem genuine.

Also, the parallel of the two love stories within the book is done beautifully and leaves the reader with hope after a long, sad story unfolds.

The less good stuff:
Why bother to say a coat has no pockets if you plan to have a character stuff something into the pocket of that very coat 2 pages later? Hmm?

And also, if a man runs a large, successful security company and has a huge, gorgeous house, doesn't it make sense that he would have a security system? That one really made no sense to me, but I guess he had such a revolving door of people coming and going, he couldn't have turned it on. It seemed pretty irresponsible.

The last thing that kept it from another star was that the mother-in-law was way over-the-top. She was beyond awful, especially for someone who apparently raised a loving son. She was the one character who didn't ring true. I can understand some of her vitriol, but not before the wedding.

Anyway, It was a really good book and one that I won't soon forget. I recommend it only to readers who aren't bothered by an overly sad story, though. Because it is that. Very VERY sad.

This was probably one of THE BEST books that I have read in a long time. The heart wrenching story of love and how life doesn’t go as planned. Finding solace in something or someone you shouldn’t but have to for your sanity. Gahhhh. I need more of this story. There’s sooooo much more to see……

This story just completely tore me apart. I admired Lo and her strength while she was dealing with her husband’s illness. And Luke, he was a great man who always stood by her side even if it killed him because she was never going to be his.

This is a very different story that we usually get from Jodi and I loved every second of reading it.

An emotional rollercoaster of a story. It's a tale of hope, loss and heartbreak. I savoured every word of this beautifully written story. I don't want to give the plot away because this one is well worth a look. Very believable characters.

My one gripe is there is no way especially on that day would they do that.

I get the grief, the friendship, the innocence of the moments, an escape and distraction from a life of caring for someone who has given up. You feel pointless, lost and hurt that their suffering is all they can see and they drag you along for the ride, not appreciating how you feel or what you have given up.

It's stunning, captivating and beautiful.

As a huge fan of Jodi's books (I have them all in paperback and on Kindle) I just had to have this one too. I am so happy that I have read it. What a story, what a love story. It will take you on a journey filled with friendship, love, sadness, lonely-ness and I whole heartedly say that it is a must read for everyone, not just Jodi fans.
This book is completely different from any of Jodi's books (except maybe a little like Forbidden) but I hope she will write more books like this. As after finishing For You, I would love to read an epilogue on Luke and Lo's story.
Really 5 stars aren't enough to rate my feelings about this book. Ten stars aren't enough either. Please for your own good read Luke and Lo's story.

First of all I need to say this book is PHENOMENAL and a true MASTERPIECE! This was a surprise release by Jodi and she knew exactly why she did as one because she could have never prepared us for it.

I really don’t want to say much about this story because you really need to experience it by yourself while reading it. The story of Lo will consume you and it will make you cry (I literally cried most of the time while reading the book) but it will also make you smile. It will definitely take you on an emotional rollercoaster you might not have experienced before. I have so many thoughts about the story you have no idea. I rarely read a book which makes me think so much about life like I did while reading this one.

For me Lo’s story is something completely different from what Jodi usually writes, without the extremely powerful alpha hero and I loved every single second of it.

Jodi said this is a story about hope, love and friendship … and it truly is.

As I said before this book is a masterpiece and it deserves all the stars in the universe and not only five. For You will definitely make it to my top 3 reads of 2023.
