All the Men I've Loved Again: A Novel
“A second-chance romance to devour in one gulp. More satisfying than I thought possible.” —Annabel Monaghan, New York Times bestselling author
From Christine Pride, the beloved coauthor of the Good Morning America Book Club Pick We Are Not Like Them, comes a dazzling solo debut novel about a woman who finds herself in the impossible situation of being in love with the same two men who won her heart in her early twenties again as she nears forty.
When Cora Belle first arrives at college, she’s determined to grow out of the shy, sheltered girl who attended an all-white prep school and finally find her community. What she’s totally unprepared for is Lincoln because how can you ever prepare for the roller coaster of first love? Just when Cora thinks she’s got things figured out, a shocking tragedy sends her reeling, and a new man, Aaron, enters her life. There’s just one problem: How can she fall in love with one man when her heart still belongs to another?
Nearly two decades later, Cora is all grown up and has closed her heart to romantic love. But an unexpected reconnection and a chance encounter puts her right back where she started, having to choose between her two great loves, Lincoln and Aaron.
Finding herself in this position—again—will test everything Cora thought she knew about fate, love, and, most important, herself. All the Men I’ve Loved Again is a bighearted coming-of-age story for anyone who’s ever thought what if about a past love.

This is the story I couldn’t wait to come back to booksta and gush about! Definitely gave ME “Whitley & Dwayne” vibes 🩶
If I had let the 3.44 GoodReads rating deter me I would’ve missed out on a simply fantastic story! I LOVED everything about this coming of age in the 2000s style story. The innocence of starting young first loves, discovering self, future, hopes, next steps… while transitioning to independence in college, trying to make sense of it all, finding a healthy balance, and ultimately making the right choices!
Cora and Lincoln were a hot MESS and I was completely enraptured by their longtime relationship. I loved their journey, their flaws and imperfections. Complicated relationships are the ones I find myself leaning towards more often. They take me on a crazy bumpy ride. Cora’s connection with Aaron was told differently and it was tender, and sealed by simple goodness, but it didn’t hit the same.
But, the greatest love Cora experienced was the strong love from Wes, hee father. He was ever present, fiercely supportive and integral in Cora’s life from the very beginning.
Cora’s perfectly perfect dad was the true of the show. Parenting goals! I pray to be half as loving and supportive as he was during my daughter’s college years 💕
Things slowed down in the last half and I wasn’t as in love with Cora’s later decisions, but I was still glued to the story. I was sick of Cora’s indecisiveness at times. I just felt she remained the same naive little girl, unable to commit to anyone without severely overthinking and wasting time.
My biggest takeaway was that as we grow and evolve, what may have worked for us before may not be what’s best for us later down the line. It’s completely acceptable to choose a new route in life. And that’s ok!
This was one of my favorite books of the summer, and of 2025 so far! 5 ⭐️ from both me & my baby girl!
