I was so excited for this couple's story based on the few teasing lines in the previous entry in the series, but that all went to hell with this book. I get why flashbacks may be necessary in a second chance romance, but there were so many at the beginning of this book that I lost interest precisely the moment I should've been invested. This book really cooled my interest in the series. I'm not particularly interested in any of the characters except

Dominic's brother, Roman

and another wedding guest whose name I can't remember.

Loved the dual POV and flashbacks showing Alessandra and Dom's past. Not usually a fan of second chances romance but I got it, just wish Alessandra had shown a bit more restraint or the character development had been better to show Dom's character more. It felt like we scratched the surface. The cameos from other series are always fun! An easy breezy read.

The guy loved her with all of his heart but neglected her for ten years???? Pardon? She had little to no spine tbh. Bro barely even had to grovel, just followed her around for a bit. Well written, but the character development seemed there but minimal.

This is Ana Huang’s best work yet!! I was immediately emotionally invested with Alessandra and Dominic. You could feel the devastating heartbreak despite the deep love alongside the characters. Ana does an excellent job of writing the story in a way readers can feel connected even if they have not experienced something similar. I made the mistake of reading this on a flight and almost cried over 5 times! Dominic’s commitment to winning back Alessandra was swoon worthy. He really listened and let his actions show he had changed. I absolutely loved this book and need everyone to read it (it can be read as a standalone). This book is perfect for fans of Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan.
