Synopsis from Goodreads: What would you do if you had a second chance with the one that got away?
More than thirty-five years ago, Gordon Meyers, an aspiring writer with a low number in the draft lottery, packed his belongings and reluctantly drove away, leaving behind Glenna Rising, the sexy, sharp-witted med student he couldn’t imagine living without.
Now, decades later, Gordon is a former globe-trotting consultant with a grown son, an ex-wife, and an overwhelming desire to see Glenna again. Though she’s stunned when Gordon walks into her Manhattan office, Glenna agrees to accompany him for a drink. As the two head out into the snow-swept city, they rediscover the passion that once drew them together—before it tore them apart. And as the evening unfolds, Gordon will finally reveal the true reason for his return. . . .
Comeback Love is an evocative journey into the hearts of two lovers who came of age in the 1960s, and who never truly let each other go. Plumbing the depths of youth, regret, and desire, Peter Golden deftly illuminates the bonds that mysteriously endure in the face of momentous change.

As a teenager I thought I was going to marry my then boyfriend. I was madly in ‘love’… as many girls are. We broke up in college and never talked again. I reached out to him via email for our 25th class reunion (I wasn’t planning to attend)… I had always wanted to know if he was happy. Nothing more, just hoping he had built a good life for himself. We exchanged a few emails. I no one wonder what happened to him.
I hope you enjoy this book!
This does sound intriguing. We all have a time or two wondered what would have happened if……
