One True Loves Adaptation (2023): Everything We Know So Far About The Romantic New Movie

Based on a book that was released before the “Mick Riva-verse” helped Taylor Jenkins Reid take over the best seller lists, the One True Loves adaptation has the cast to keep excitement levels high for this project, despite the book not being quite as well known.
 
A big reason to have high hopes for the adaptation is the author working with her screenwriter husband to write the script themselves. Chances are good the movie is going to stick close to the story and themes of the book, which is always a concern when it comes to bringing the words of a beloved story to life.
 
This One True Loves adaptation has all the ingredients to be a fun and successful trip to the theater.

In her twenties, Emma Blair marries her high school sweetheart, Jesse. They build a life for themselves, far away from the expectations of their parents and the people of their hometown in Massachusetts.

On their first wedding anniversary, Jesse is on a helicopter over the Pacific when it goes missing. Just like that, Jesse is gone forever.

That is, until Jesse is found. He’s alive, and he’s been trying all these years to come home to her. With a husband and a fiancé, Emma has to now figure out who she is and what she wants, while trying to protect the ones she loves.
