I spent the first half of the book hating Joseph Carter - who on earth could have 3 women on the go and stand all of them up on Valentine's Day!
But then the twist came, which I did not expect. Following that reveal, I spent the second half of the book trying to piece together some sort of timeline for everything I'd ignored in the first half due to my hatred for /him/.
As if that twist wasn't enough, along comes another one which I noted as "86% - WHAT?! Oh god, now it all makes sense!"
It's not really a romance book - it's more than the relationships that are shown. It's about the friendship, finding yourself, self-worth, mental health, recovering from past trauma. I adored Miranda, Jane and Siobhan's storyline and character development. My favourite was Miranda - she's badass!
I loved this book. Beth O'Leary is an autobuy author for me anyway. This storyline was not what I expected from her as she usually focuses on the romance in the stereotypical 'boy-meets-girl, boy-and-girl-fall-in-love, major-event-happens, boy-and-girl-split-up, boy-and-girl-make-up' way. However, this was so much more than what I wanted from the blurb. Highly recommend!
