This story was wild. I described this more in my reading journal but don’t feel like typing it out right now.

The synopsis for this novel sounded really wonderfully and exciting, a middle aged female MC with not one, not two, but three suitors after her. Charming and refreshing...or so I thought.
The recommendation form Beth O'Leary on the cover should have been my first hint that this book wouldn't fulfil my expectations. Next was the fact that we had a lovely relationship for a whole third of the book that just ended because of miscommunication.
I'm sorry but if I saw my bf in the arms of another woman, I wouldn't be walking away, I'd be slapping them both silly till I get some answers. Would have saved a whole lot of time and grief and been a far better story than it was.
Thomas' character was just a grade A ass and I hated him from the moment he was introduced. I couldn't see what the MC saw in him.
Francesco too, whole sweet and lovely, was right to walk away from her after what she did and it upset me that he got back with here I know I wouldn't have if I'd been him.
Priyesh was the only one of them that I really liked and I was more upset that he didn't stay with her. I felt better knowing he's set up for a HEA with someone else but still.
The storyline dragged a lot and while some may think it is cute and light-hearted, comical even, I cannot agree with them. The writing wasn't bad and premise was well done but the whole plot and characters really fell short for me.
