Chris was absolute jerk, immature and manipulative asshole ufff I hated him so much, no idea how Jenzy put up with him for all those years and 2 years!! He didn't notice her for 2 years cause I would have packed my bags and would leave and never look back. The grovelling wasn't enough he kept on blaming Jenzy when he was to blame.
Anyways, the plot was good but the execution .... not so much. There are lots for grammar mistakes and use of the words such as "gahhh" really ruin it for it

I received an ARC of this book and I'm SO GLAD to be friends with this author!!!! <3
I had so much in common with this book, it's not even funny, in a way it's actually freaky - I think this author lives my life (besides actually going through a divorce ;) ) But the characters are all part of my actual family! I loved it! I loved the story! I loved the ending!
I can't wait to own this book as a signed paperback for my shelf!!!!

Terrible grammatical mistakes and typos but sweet mother of god that grovel was so satisfying

The MC's spend a lot of the book separated. I don't consider the h dating someone else as cheating because they are separated. So just be aware of that.
I enjoyed the grovel. That is why I love these kinds of books.
I really liked it and it was giving what I needed

“You took off the rings but,” he turned his own ring. “I’m getting buried with mine because whether you leave me or not, I’ll love you till the day I die. To my last breath. You didn’t just give me your love, you brought me closer to my own family, your family, you led me to this amazing career. I don’t want what could’ve been in Sweden, I want what could be with us.”
I don’t often read books about marriages in shambles, so it was really refreshing to read something different. Although this book was very over the top and unrealistic at times, I think this book had some really thoughtful and heartwarming elements. It was also surprisingly funny.
Chris, the hero, is a grade A asshole. He’s so condescending and, I would even go so far as to say, emotionally abusive. He's unsupportive of his wife's career, disrespectful of her beliefs and even ignores her! He did a lot of groveling but I don’t think he completely redeemed himself. The only way the author was able to make me hate him less was through flashbacks when he was basically a completely different guy.
Spoiler
Even the letter he wrote at the end for Moses, although very sweet, were just words, not actions.I personally think the heroine, Jenzy, was just as in the wrong as the hero was. Yes, Chris was a douchebag but Jenzy could’ve backed up a little on her new age beliefs. She sounds like a suffocating person to live with to be honest. And for some reason, everyone in the book just really liked her. I did feel very bad for her though, she's just so eager to please her husband. It was gut wrenching to see her get pushed away so many times.
Spoiler
There was also emotional cheating involved on her part, and a ‘I feel bad about it’ just didn’t really cut it for me.This book was difficult for me to rate because I really enjoyed this book, but at the same time, I felt like the issue wasn’t completely resolved. If they had decided to go to couple’s therapy, I probably would’ve been more satisfied. Also, I think this book requires some editing… or maybe it was just my kindle ebook edition? Overall, I do believe there's a good story underneath it all but it was just lacking in its execution.
Rating: 3/5
Tengo sentimientos contradictorios con este libro. Por un lado me gustó y por otro no me terminó de convencer del todo.
Hay algo en Chris, el protagonista, que hizo que no pudiera agarrarle cariño.
Eso sí la historia se lee muy rápido y cumple su función.

Book and characters are a major ick. The writing is so bad. The characters are even worse.
