As far as second chance romances go, this has to be one of the worst I've read. These characters were so supremely stupid and crossed boundaries in ways that made me really uncomfy. The concept of carrying on an affair with your ex-husband under the same roof as your sleeping children is just...idk I don't like it. These characters just couldn't stop doing stupid things and the whole concept of the letters just did nothing for me. They didn't serve a purpose. Massive miss.

I enjoyed but it wasn’t my favorite devney perry book and i liked the first book better; i do think it was a sweet second chance romance and i love that they both made sacrifices to make real change for them for the better

I will admit, I was dubious about reading this bc I HATE cheating, but it was already established in The Birthday List, so I was prepared but I was too intrigued by Finn x Molly's story.

I was not expecting HALF the plot to this 2nd chance romance, and it's been an interesting and unique take on ex spouses.

Much like The Birthday List, this was packed full with raw emotion...and then some. Perry definitely knows how to leave me in shock and awe.

This is set 5 years after the events of the previous book, so they were divorced and Co parenting for at least 6 years... but they end up having a 1 night stand and things evolve from there.

I love the idea of letter writing...so seeing how they progress, revealing the bad as well as the good was actually a unique was of going into the last without writing in the last tense.

I did love the ending... it was funny and heartwarming as it pays respect to their friend, Jamie (Poppy's husband, who was murdered). I will not spoil for you.

This was a really sweet story and I enjoyed it. The way their history was woven throughout the book through the letters was really nicely done. I tend to hate tons of flashbacks, but with the structure we got in this book I didn’t mind it at all. I’ve read lots of books about marriages/relationships in crisis lately and this was one was balanced. They both had done things wrong, so there wasn’t one character I hated more than the other. I was truly rooting for them to reconcile.
