bandherbooks's review against another edition
SUPER heavy, but written with Beharrie's sensitive and warm style. Just not for me at this time.
SPOILERS and CW's only notes:
I read about half of this story. I did not look up any reviews before starting but I typically enjoy a "marriage in trouble" romance so I jumped in.
While excellently written I personally had an issue wanting to keep reading because of the lingering grief issues and relationship problems the couple have because of Mila's miscarriage when she was in her six month of pregnancy. Both sets of their parents are also dead, one of the parents from cancer, and Mila struggles with what seems to me to be PTSD. She fell walking down stairs which led to her miscarriage.

CW: miscarriage
I love angst and pain in my lyfe-
I have so many emotions about Mia and Jordan, and their inabilities to open up to each other because of their childhood traumas, these idiots. I love how they met each other and fell in love, and I also grieved the way their relationship ended after what happened to Mia. There were lots of repressed feelings to unpack between them when they reunited after the divorce, and I enjoyed the emotional rollercoaster ride.
This is my first Therese Beharrie book, and it won't be my last.

A sad, sad story, full of emotional moments and angst. Bit depressing to be honest.

kjcharles's review
Angsty second chance romance about a couple who had a love-at-first sight rushed marriage that (unsurprisingly) fell apart as soon as they hit hard times. Coming back together involves lots of self-examination, honesty, and facing the past: ie actually getting to know one another properly. A bit angstier than my preference, but Therese Beharrie does these so well, and the couple are realistically self-protective and unwilling to be vulnerable, so it's very grounded and the eventual HEA feels real and earned.
NB: deals heavily with the loss of a late-term pregnancy and deaths of parents.
