When I Was Yours by Samantha Towle
3.0
Ugh I’m so torn on this one. I really liked it for the most part but the “big reveal” we waited until 85% to find out was pretty disappointing and really ruined it for me. It was like the obvious thing that you say “well that’s too obvious it can’t be THAT” the entire time and yet, it was. Maybe if they hadn’t built it up so much it would have been better.
I did like that the cause of the breakup was the FMC. Most of the time in a second chance romance it’s the guy who messed up in some way to cause the breakup but in this one it was the FMC who 100% caused the breakup. It was different and interesting even though the aforementioned “reason” ended up bugging me a lot. Yet he was still the one who did the groveling lol - it would have been nice to see her grovel a little to get him back. It was good though, not great.
