Love Is Never Lost by Katy Regnery is available now!


From New York Times bestseller Katy Regnery comes a new twist on the beloved American legend, "Rip Van Winkle."

Sometimes, the journey is the love story.

On the night of his high school graduation, Ripley Van Winkle—local quarterback, prom king and all-around big man on campus—swan dives off the top of the Sleepy Hollow Lighthouse. . . and lands on jagged pile of rocks. Suffering massive brain trauma, Rip isn’t expected to live, but he somehow manages to beat the odds: most of his physical injuries heal, though he remains in a deep coma for the next twenty years.

When Rip awakens two decades later, he will need to relearn his body’s most basic functions, in addition to catching up on twenty years’ worth of history, progress and change.

Something called the “internet” has the answer to every question you could ever dream of asking, and people are reliant on mobile telephones smaller than a Walkman. His high school girlfriend is married with children, and he has an eighteen-year-old sister who was born while he was “sleeping.”

As Rip struggles to find his place in this strange, new world, one presence in his life will become both a beacon and guide: his childhood friend, Katrina Van Tassel. But Trina has a challenging adult life of her own, and there’s no guarantee she has space in her life (or her heart) for her one-time high school crush . . . Rip Van Winkle.

My Review

Rip and Trina's story is sweet and warm. Family friends that grew up together, get a second chance.

Rip the popular guy a high school awakes from a coma of 2 decades and has a miraculous recovery (it is a modern-day fairy tale!). He was a typical cocky popular guy before the coma, but he has to grow up a lot once he awakens as he's not 17 anymore. He works hard to get better and doesn't even seem that bitter about lost youth. I preferred after coma Rip, even though he was coming around precoma.

Trina is a successful doctor and a single mum but kept In touch with Rip's family and visited an unconscious Rip through the years. I really liked her she made me want her to have a happy ever after.

Both our characters have things to work through as they grow closer, and it's not rushed as you can imagine Rip has a lot to work on!

I loved the update, it was heartwarming and perfect
