Unfortunately, I just didn't buy that these two characters actually love each other. Like? Sure. Lust after? Definitely. But as often as we are told they love each other, we aren't shown it. Add to that the way that these two mistreat each other, and I spent more than half this book actively rooting against this couple.

Between weeks long silent treatments, an inability to listen to anything anyone says, an inability to come up with things they actively like and are proud of in their partner, an inability to give up control for the sake of growth, and the refusal to ever see a fight through actually to resolution, I just have a very hard time buying these two people as a happy, successful couple.

DNF @ 55% 6/11/25

This book is boring af. It's hardly a second chance romance to begin with considering these people were never divorced OR separated. This is a story about a woman having a mid-life crisis and taking it out on her husband because she doesn't feel fulfilled in her own life.

She's literally mad that she's a stay at home wife and that her husband donated 300K to her foundation??? Epitome of rich white lady problems.

Yes, she has valid feelings and stuff that she should sort out but idk how any of that was her husband's fault or issue. She was projecting hard. Get a therapist. I guess I should amend that and say, sure she got a therapist eventually but I'm not sure how you're gonna solve 10-14 (idk how many) years of resentment and unhappiness in one week???? Like what is the point of this story lol.

This shouldn't be marketed as a romance when it's basically lit/women's fic. I get why people like I guess but I was bored to tears.
