Description
Sometimes love gives you a second chance. Sometimes it doesn’t. And sometimes it returns in a way you could never imagine.
Tyrus Cal, TC to his friends, had no plans to leave his party boy life, but when he met Ginny at an outdoor music festival, he fell. Hard. He brought out his best stories to charm her, and she returned the sentiment with long-buried secrets about her traumatic past.
When their budding relationship ends abruptly, TC moves on, assuming he won’t get a second chance with the captivating Ginny. But then he does. Just not in the way he expected.
Now he’s on an otherworldly mission to see her again. But that means overcoming his doubts, his fears, and stopping Ginny from doing the unthinkable.
Always Think of Me is an uncommon love story about friendship and do-overs and features a perspective on life that can set us free.

Lori Keesey has created completely relatable characters in this beautifully written, compelling story.”—Debbie Terry, author of When Love Wasn’t Enough . . . Because I Loved Him
"I love Always Think of Me largely because of its accurate depiction of why people become susceptible to abusive relationships. This is an unusual love story that also delves deeply into what really matters in life. A must-read for everyone.”—Marcia Messer, board-certified counselor

Always Think of Me is the debut novel of Lori Keesey, and a compelling read. Do you have a lost love? The one that got away? This story follows TC’s journey to rediscovering this person in his life. Finding Ginny again teaches him all about second chances, and how they often don’t fit into neat little boxes.
Written in a combination of present day and one year ago, TC and Ginny’s story walks readers through the weight of seemingly simple choices, the pain of missed opportunities and the power of hindsight.
Allegory isn’t for everyone, but Keesey employs the literary style like a pro. She uses the story to reveal a deeper message about love and forgiveness, and how the two aren’t predictable. This story is told both carefully and cleverly, with expert pacing as little pieces of TC and Ginny’s story are revealed. The outcome? A fuller picture of why the two aren’t together, despite some very strong feelings.
For readers who like a slower build, almost like reading a chess game as the story unravels strategically, Always Think of Me is recommended. The audiobook is also a fun listen, with bestselling author James L Rubart as the expert narrator.
I received a copy from the publisher via NetGalley and also purchased the audiobook so I could take TC and Ginny on walks. The opinions are my own.
