This book had its ups and downs and really made me look at myself. Nadine was such a closed off person and held so much in: her opinions of her parents, the shame of her true feelings she had, and the burden of carrying that around. At times, Nadine’s behavior really upset me, especially with the whole cheating situation. Yes, it wasn’t about her husband, and people don’t just change who they are over night, but I wish maybe she would’ve been a little more open with her husband instead of making him last choice; which I wonder now if that’s the point. This story is really complex, I skipped the second book in the series, and I’ve read reviews that this book compared to the others in the series isn’t as good, however, I feel like the author challenged herself with this book. Nadine had a lot of flaws to work through and it’s cool to see that she got her happy ending. There’s a lot a person can take away from this story, not even just sexual identity, but the types of trauma we have and the ways we carry them around. I would recommend this book, but idk if I would list this as an erotica lol maybe romance with a twist? Idk, lol either way, I would recommend this book; it could definitely help somebody process their feelings.
