When We Were by Diana Elliot Graham
5.0
WHY IS THIS BOOK NOT TALKED ABOUT MORE!!!!!
I have never highlighted anything in a book - but I sure did for this one!!!
I could not put this book down - the entire book kept me on my toes, and I truly WAS MIND BLOWN! this book deserves WAY more hype that it has.
I typically don’t like the miscommunication trope because I find it “boring” BUT THIS BOOK WAS FAR FROM THAT!
I am obsessed with Reid and Arden - the relationship they built and the characters development will live rent free in my heart for a while. This book really grabbed me when Arden and Reid went out on there first date - for hot chocolate at the “ book speak easy” playing scrabble to get to know each other. “Arden, that smile pulling in his lips, I won’t need to keep score to know if I’ve won, because if I walk away from this table knowing you more than I do now, it won’t matter how many points I have”
I felt like I lived in there world snd their story over and over again as I read this book, and thinking about it makes me LOVE Reid even more.
This book was truly a Plot Twist. The entire time I was reading it as Josh being on the other end of it, when really the dinner meeting was with Reid. The entire time I thought it was Josh - and I truly hated Josh from the start. It kept me reading until I got my answers.
Josh - I hated him from the beginning I saw right through his crap, I hated every minute of him, and when she finally showed up at dinner to Reid pregnant and married I almost SCREAM, I was like THERE IS NO WAY ITS JOSH BABY OR MARRIED TO JOSH, no way. And thankfully it’s not but I really thought it was and panicked.
I really hope we can have another book about Arden’s life with her husband ( who isn’t even a character in the book) I want to know more about them, even tho I wish Arden didn’t say “ let’s be friends” to reid - I want to know how they both made in their own lives, without being together.
I wish that reid and Arden ended up together there love was special and I loved their story, this story will live RENT FREE in my head long term. I wish I could rate this as 5 billion stars.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
