This should have been a nope for me. Affair/Infidelity CW: The entire relationship is an affair, so if you, like me, don't handle cheating well, this book is probably not for you . It was good, just really sad and emotional.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Infidelity

Quinn has grown up with an over protective dad and brothers. Now that she is 17, can she finally figure out what she wants?
I feel deceived. I thought this was going to be Quinn and Lucas' book... But it wasn't. This was basically her parents story.
This was presented in a weird and interesting way. Quinn gets a mystery package containing a book. She quickly realizes it is her parents story. Turns out that her mother wrote this book to share her story and lessons with Quinn. Super awkward for her to include the sex scenes for her daughter to read.
That said, her parents relationship was super toxic. Her father controlled her mother's life and when things didn't go as she expected it to, her mother became an alcoholic. They both spent years angry, depressed, and missing each other. Eventually, they found their way back to each other.
I really enjoyed getting know Quinn and the 2nd generation of kids. I am intrigued about their books!
Tropes: second chance
