Publisher Description
Can you ever really know if love is true? And if it is, should you stop at anything to get it? Two decades ago, Erin Edwards was sure she'd already found the love of her life: Nate Lawson. Her first love. The one with whom she shared everything--dreams of the future, of children, plans for forever. The one she thought she would spend the rest of her life with. Until one terrible night when Erin made a mistake Nate could not forgive and left her to mourn the relationship she could never forget or get over. Today, Erin is contentedly involved with a phenomenal guy, maneuvering a successful and exciting career, and raising a great daughter all on her own. So why would the name "Nate Lawson" be the first thing to enter her mind when her boyfriend asks her to marry him? In the wake of the proposal, Erin finds herself coming unraveled over the past, and the love she never forgot. The more she tries to ignore it and move on, the more it haunts her. Always Something There to Remind Me is a story that will resonate with any woman who has ever thought of that one first love and wondered, "Where is he?" and "What if…?" Filled with Beth Harbison's trademark nostalgia humor and heart, it will transport you, and inspire you to believe in the power of first love.

"Omg, I thought it was so good! I never wanted to put it down!! It ended in a predictable way but it was still a good ending. It definitely brought back my memories & feelings of my first love but it also showed me that what I thought was MY first love really wasn't. I remember more painful memories than happy ones. I married my real love:)"
— Andrea (5 out of 5 stars)
Quotes
-
Always Something There to Remind Me is a riveting look at the tender agony of first love. Full of self-awareness and scathing wit, Beth Harbison deftly contrasts teenage romantic idealism with the reality of growing up. Touching, truthful, and profoundly satisfying, Harbison delivers her finest work yet.

" Stopped reading this book barely a 100 pages into it. Pretty disappointed. "
— Tricia, 1/28/2014 -
" A story about the one that got away. Examines teenage love and all the drama that comes with it. Chapters alternate between the present and the past quite effectively. A decent read despite being rather formulaic. "

— Doris, 1/24/2014 -

— Julianne, 12/29/2013 -
" This story felt a little familiar with the 'young first love' theme... But her narrating gets old and annoying. Still a cute book, I just wouldn't put it in my favs list or anything. "
— Amanda, 12/20/2013 -
" In no way is this book even remotely realistic. The characters did nothing for me and the back and forth between past and present felt as though it were never ending. "
— Kelli, 12/8/2013 -
" Enjoyable read for something, quick, light and easy... "
— Simi, 11/15/2013 -
" In the words of Twyla Hopkins Arnold, "It was DELICIOUS!!!" "
— Rachel, 10/27/2013 -
" This was the sweetest story. While I did grow tired of the 'all about me' teenage Erin, didn't we all go through some kind if a stage at that age? Oh true love is wonderful. "
— Crystal, 9/29/2013 -
" This was agin book to listen to. Even though I knew how it would end, there were still parts that surprised me. "
— Erin, 9/5/2013 -
" This book was alright. Nothing too exciting but it was interesting enough to keep me reading. Definitely not one of Harbison's best. "
— Ashley, 8/14/2013 -

" Not a great book. Would skip this one! "
— Kristen, 6/22/2013 -
" I loved this book! I LOVED this book. I LOVED THIS BOOK! If you were a teen during the 80's, you will "get" and enjoy all the 80's references. And if you had a first love that you wondered "what if", then you must read this book. I literally could not put it down. "
— Ramona, 5/6/2013 -
" I didn't like it. Lack of fireworks and chemistry. "
— Kathy, 3/11/2013 -
" This was a quick read that tugs at your heartstrings. I think I need to read more of this author! "
— Maggie, 7/3/2012 -
" The story moved on slowly. I did not believe that Erin knew what she was doing at her job and the ending was disappointing. I really wanted to like this book, but it was not what I had expected. "
— Marah, 6/13/2012 -
" This novel alternates chapters between a woman's first love as a teen, and her life as an adult, a Mom, an event planner,and a frustrated dater. As you would predict, the first love comes back into her life, and events unfold that neither of them could have foreseen. "
— L, 2/8/2012 -
" the end was good and I liked the flashbacks but it became quite repetitive in the middle. Light girly read "
— Danielle, 11/10/2011 -
" The book involved alot of monologue that I would sometimes skip paragraphs, but I really loved the storyline. My heart broke when they broke up, my stomach had butterflies when they saw each other again, I could fill all the emotions of Erin and how she felt about Nate! Definitely a re-read! "
— Johnna, 9/30/2011
