This is a great example of a second chance romance! While tragic circumstances caused our couple to split 15 years ago the chemistry when they reunite is like they never left. I also appreciate that they didn't keep ignoring the elephant in the room and they had the conversation that was necessary to move forward pretty early on. I love how accepting of each other's circumstances they were and how they supported each other.
I did not understand whywe had Ashton's POV. He's a piece of shit, he was a terrible husband and he's not a great father. He literally doesn't try with the twins and he always tried to look for a reason to be mad at Faith and then is like "oh but she's right" Stop trying to argue and work on actually being there for your kids
Personally there were some tropes that I didn't love and I found the dialogue during sex scenes cringey but overall it was a good time.
