This book...
I honestly don't know how I feel about it. I cried a lot and got angry a lot.
I appreciate that the perspective on how the FMC coped was a 'human" one. How things affect her, how she interpreted things and what she chose to accept. Even after everything went down with the MMC, she still accepted him for his flaws and found love in their version of a HEA.
As a spectator, I absolutely did not believe that the MMC came anywhere close to redeeming himself. Again, understanding how his past and insecurities drive his actions, I still didn't feel that he deserved her forgiveness.
But other than that, the writing was good. The story just dragged on a bit. I read the teaser for Rory's book and am ready to read it ASAP.
Spice level 🌶 4/5
* I never thought I'd say it but, I think there was too much. Even though I know it was part of their healing process I honestly just skimmed through.
