I enjoyed it although 'love of my life, brake up than makeup' was pretty much the same as in first book
I needed something a bit sweet after immersing myself in dark romance and I knew Julia Wolf would deliver! I can always count on her to give me the balance of sweet & spice.
I love David after being introduced in the first book of this series, I was excited to get his backstory. And what a story it was. I am a sucker for a second chance romance and I felt a mix of emotions while reading this. Sylvia reads as a great single mother - Emma is her priority, but she still finds time for herself, even if that wasn't always the case. It's great to see.
I wasn't expecting to feel so conflicted with the characters POV when it came to the conflict. I felt for both of them equally, but it essentially boiled down to neither one of them expressing their emotional feelings (a typical case for romance). But I LOVED the mention of a main character in therapy. I would have liked to see that portrayed a bit more, but I enjoyed him finding other healthy coping techniques.
There was a detail that sort of irked my nerves as a WOC. Sylvia's main subplot is her spending part of her time with at risk youth, and teen parents getting them involved in theatre. While I absolutely adore the idea of characters working with underserved communities, I absolutely did not like that both of the supporting characters were mentioned as POC. If I'm remembering that correctly, someone please correct me.

Hopefully the third book is better
I wanted to like this book but the couple was insufferable. Completely unable to communicate like adults. And their relationship just isn't realistic. Like just being in the same space as someone you hate doesn't make you like them more.
