This book was a great light read. I really was disappointed in the 1/4 of the book though. Why can't people just say what they are thinking instead of running from m each other for so long?
2/5
The first half of this book was fantastic. Although, I thought her 'revenge' was going to be murder and not cheating. Then the 2nd half of this book just went completely downhill. Was the 2nd half just written by someone else because it was not nearly as good. But also, being with your ex husband's best friend, who is also seeing your best friend. The fuck. AND hooking up with your ex husband who is engaged to the woman he left her for. FMC is just a shitty person and i wanted to throat punch her more than once. I wish i could get back the time i spent reading this.

Autorin Tarryn Fisher und ich... ob das noch was wird?!?
Ich habe sie durch Colleen Hoover kennen- und lieben gelernt. Die zwei sind beste Freundinnen und ihnen zu folgen ist immer wieder ein Highlight. Tarryns Stories und ihre TUESDAYS WITH TARRYN sind meine Highlights. Sie hat Psychologie studiert und beantwortet Dienstags Fragen. Mal private, mal Lebenswegweiser, mal lustig, oft ernst, aber immer ehrlich.
Bücher hatte ich nur „Never Never“ angefangen, welches sie mit Colleen geschrieben hat, allerdings abgebrochen 🙈 Es war einfach nicht meins. Aus dem Grund hatten mich ihre Bücher bist jetzt nicht wirklich interessiert, bis vor einigen Tagen „F*ck Marriage“ erschien. Das Cover hatte mich sofort angesprochen und nach lesen des Klappentextes, musste es bei mir einziehen.
Es handelt von Billie, die nach drei Jahren Ehe von ihrem Mann Woods betrogen wird, und nach zwei Auszeitjahren bei ihren Eltern, zurück nach New York zieht, um Rache zu nehmen. Dort trifft sie auch wieder auf Satcher, Woods bester Freund, der schon lange in sie verliebt ist.
Ich kann zum Glück nicht aus eigener Erfahrung sprechen, aber genauso stelle ich es mir vor, wenn eine Ehe zerbricht. Man kann sich so gut in Billie hineinversetzen und merkt, dass Tarryn ihre eigene erste, zerbrochene Ehe hier mit einfließen lässt.
Klar haben wir hier auch einige Klischees wie das wunderschöne New York Setting, Traumjob Blogger mit Geldverdienen und sie sind alle wunderschön, aber das stört mich null, denn es bleibt trotzdem ECHT!
Zumindest ist das so am Anfang der Geschichte... aber dann, ja dann, geht es steil bergab, leider....
Die zweite Hälfte des Buches kommt mir vor, als hätte es plötzlich eine andere Autorin geschrieben.
Es wird total skurril, Billie wirkt auf einmal wie eine komplett andere Person, der Plott wird übel und ich kann wieder vorzüglich meine Augenmuskeln trainieren. 🙄
Das Ende macht es dann nur noch schlimmer, weil die Geschichte ganz schnell zum Schluss kommt. Ohne Gefühl, ohne Verstand, aber mit ganz viel Dummheit.
Ne, das war leider nix. Es hat soooo gut angefangen 😭😭😭
Schade, sehr, sehr schade.

She does it again!
I could not put this book down! I just had to know what would happen next. With Tarryn Fisher books, I genuinely never know if we'll get a 'Happily Ever After' or a 'WTF just happened' at the end, which makes it that much more un-put-down-able. One of my favorite reads of the year!

Billie, Woods, and Satcher are sometimes infuriating yet addicting characters. They have a love triangle of sorts. They constantly hurt each other and no one seems to know what they want. But there I was still cheering for Billie throughout it all. I think what makes it interesting is that even though Woods was an idiot the author still writes the perspectives in a way that makes you feel for him too even though he’s supposed to be the bad guy. I wondered throughout the story how much Billie ever loved Woods and how much of it was the idea of what it was or the easy rhythm they fell into. She often went back and forth with her thoughts on this and you could never quite figure out where she stood.
5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- Excellent - Highly Recommended
4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - A good, solid read
3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - An okay read
2 ⭐️⭐️ - Meh
1 ⭐️ - Not my cup of tea

I’m not sure how to rate this - 2.5/3?
Some fantastic quotes and lessons, but ultimately I wanted to strangle Billie for her indecisiveness and the decisions she made throughout the book.

Tarryn Fisher really made me feel heartache with Billie’s story. The first half was unputdownable. But after that I felt like I was witnessing a train wreck. I just couldn’t see Billie redeeming herself during the last half. Some aspects were out of her control. The rest though? She’s a 30-something woman, not a child playing with peoples emotions. And now that I’m writing this down, I’m kind of angry.
What genre is this book? It was kinda motivational, a bit of a love story, a dash of suspense—it was just a lot but also not enough.

You guys have heard me gush about Tarryn Fisher’s books for quite a while now (that’s an understatement). She was one of the first authors I discovered when I started reading avidly again and quickly became my favorite. She has a way of injecting wisdom into every book in a unique way I’ve never experienced before. Her words hit me deep in the heart and have helped me to become a more confident woman. Naturally, when she releases a new book, I gobble it up like my life depends upon it, even when the title makes my friends worry about the state of my soul. 😉
The first half of this book was a joy to read. I was highlighting line after line and was eager to see where Billie’s journey would take her. I love Tarryn’s broken characters because they help women feel as if the things they’ve been through aren’t unique to them. They bring people together and make us all feel less alone. Billie was no different, having gone through a traumatic divorce. She shows readers that healing doesn’t happen immediately, even two years later, Billie was still struggling to regain her footing.
“I’ve already been on life’s ride from hell. I know all the turns.”
Unfortunately, after the halfway mark in this book, the story crumbled. Billie wasn’t a character I could resonate with in the least and she became desperate and wishy-washy. I felt as if the plot twists were too cliche for a Tarryn Fisher novel and didn’t add to furthering the story. The characters were twisted in an indistinguishable web that I didn’t care to untangle. I found their reasons for hurting one another to be unrealistic excuses for bad behavior – no one accepted responsibility for their actions and it was exhausting. Thankfully Satcher made the story more bearable for me, but he still didn’t do anything worthwhile enough for a lengthy mention.
“We aren’t meant to stay the same. Life hits us from every direction, and we build thick skin in those places … calluses. It’s the way we survive.”
Most disappointing for me was the lack of closure on some of the details added to this story. The ending felt rushed and made me ponder the unanswered questions for hours after I finished. This simply is not a five-star book. It was too unorganized and felt pieced together.
The good news is that Tarryn writes books for all women, meaning all of us won’t relate to every book she writes. I’m more of a Margo and you may be more of a Senna, or Yara, or Billie. Naturally, women who have been wronged or through a divorce are going to relate to Billie in a big way. Authors are continually pushing their limits and evolving, just as the rest of us, and it’s ok to not find a piece of yourself in every book they write. Regardless, I’m going to continue to have high hopes for anything Tarryn puts out and be eagerly awaiting it with a greedy heart.

I usually inhale a TF book the moment she hits publish. I couldn’t with this one. The vibe surrounding it, the discussions in PLN, the synopsis....this shit was too close for comfort for me to try to read for awhile.
Obviously I finally caved. It was still a little too close for comfort at times, and a lot of times it really hurt to read the very things I had been struggling with myself.
But in the end, I’m only sad that I had put it off for so long. Another Tarryn Fisher hit
