3.0

This book felt like it was trying too hard. The blurb makes it sound like a second chance romance, which it is (kinda), but at least 50% of the book is lengthy flashbacks to the relationship they first developed a few years before. The SCR trope was not really utilized to the best of its ability because this book is actually two different novels about the same characters pieced together to make one book, which left little room for the second try at their relationship to progress more organically and cohesively. 

I would’ve preferred it to be one way or the other—either the story of their love as it first grew and developed, or the story of them trying again and actually having time to build the new relationship on the people they’d become.
