This wasn’t my happy place at all! Maybe I found the characters too relatable or maybe second chance romances hit a bit too close to home, but even the happy ending seemed a bit bittersweet to me.

I usually really like this author but I could not get into this one. I finished it, but it took me literal months of starting and then shifting to something else and coming back in little bursts. I just finished it to finish it because I’d put so much time in and it wasn’t BAD. Just not as engaging as I expect from her.

I have no idea how I want to rate this book. It was well written. The characters were complex, relatable, understandable humans. The conflict was human and real. All that to say this was not the story I wanted it to be. I cried far more than was probably normal. The whole book was just sad even when it was happy. Maybe it was just me or maybe it's just seeing pieces of myself in the characters and knowing what healing they need. Either way this book will stick with me for a while so maybe it's a 5 stars or maybe I just don't like the way I hurt for the characters and its a 2. Guess it's up to you.
