I stand on the beach and gasp as a wave knocks me over, bringing memories of the night Adam died: the pouring rain, my voice shouting his name. Suddenly, I feel strong arms pulling me from the water. A familiar voice speaks soothing words—and my heart explodes with unspeakable, unbearable hope. I’d know those ocean-blue eyes anywhere. It’s him. It’s impossible. It’s Adam.
Madeline and Adam were high-school sweethearts, and Jason their teasing best friend. The trio did everything together. But one awful night, they lost Adam in a terrible accident.
Ten years later, Madeline and Jason are planning their wedding. They’ll never forget Adam, even though Jason doesn’t like to talk about the past, and happiness feels just around the corner.Until Madeline is saved by a stranger on the beach. As she gazes at his familiar features, she could swear he's Adam. Her Adam.
It’s been ten years since Adam died. And the man says his name is Garrett. He’s kind, but distant.
Maybe Madeline was confused. This handsome stranger saved her life—no wonder she felt close to him. The fact that his eyes, and lips, and dark wavy hair dripping with saltwater are just the same as Adam’s must be a coincidence. Right?
But a single summer can change everything. And as Madeline searches for answers, she’s forced to question everything she’s ever believed: about her own memories, the boy she once loved, and the life she’s supposed to live.
A totally addictive and unforgettable romance with a touch of spice, about the choices we make when it matters most, and how to follow your heart. Anyone who loves Carley Fortune, Colleen Hoover, or Paige Toon won’t be able to put this down!
Perfect for anyone who loves these tropes:
· High school sweethearts
· New/old flame
· Love triangle
· Rescue romance
· Small town romance
· Mistaken identity
About the author
Melissa Wiesner’s mother didn’t allow her to watch much TV as a child and instead, made her play with paint, colorful pipe cleaners, random bits of fabric, and all manner of other crafty things. This set Melissa up for a lifetime of creative pursuits, and it was only a matter of time before things took a bookish turn.
A night-owl, Melissa began writing novels when her early-to-bed family retired for the evening. She is the award-winning author of contemporary romantic comedies and emotional women’s fiction. Her work has earned praise from Kirkus, Booklist, Library Journal, and Publisher’s Weekly, and has been featured in Women’s World, The Knot, and Book of the Month. Melissa’s novels will soon be translated into a dozen languages. Along with her charming husband and two adorable children, she splits her time between the big city of Pittsburgh, PA and rural West Virginia.
First, I want to thank Melissa Wiesner, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
WOW!!! If you were to ask me what my favorite summer read of 2025 is in a heartbeat I would have to say Melissa Wiesner’s All The Ways You Save Me!!! Infact, I would say this book is one of her best written books yet. It combines her emotionally charged storylines with a little bit of suspense to it. The combination of it made for a great read.
We need to talk about the drop dead spectacular colorful cover design that the graphic department designed. It is absolutely beautiful and so perfected for this story and title! Not to mention eye catching!
Melissa draws me instantly into her storyline with the intense prologue making you wonder what happened to Adam all those years ago.
There are multiple plot twists in this book and some are total game changers that will blow your mind!! Some will have you screaming at your kindle hating one specific character.
Needless to say I fell in love with the book, the characters (well not Jason), the hometown vibe they were in, etc. I am so happy to learn that their story will continue in 2026 in All The Ways You Break Me! You know I must read and review that one as well!
