When you're given an oppurtunity to change your life, be ready to do whatever it takes to make it happen. The world doesn't give things, you take things.

This book had me hooked right from the very start, the fact that Evelyn knew Monique made it so much more interesting and intriguing to read. I loved the idea of all the husbands and the way that at least half of them were more strategic and planned than her falling in love with them. Celia frustrated me ngl, I wasn't a huge fan of her, I much preferred Evelyn. Actually fell in love with Harry. And when they said this line "John opened the basket. Celia poured wine. Harry leaned over and kissed Connor's forehead." You knew just there that it was all going to go to shit.
I really enjoyed having Monique there and writing the book and having little insights into her life too.
This book was actually really good thinking about it, I enjoyed it so much, while it didn't break me and I didn't cry like how I expected to, I still enjoyed it so much. I loved the LGBTQ aspect part of it too, and I really want to start reading more to open my eyes.

How we knew we couldn't live without each other.
Because now we both knew what we were willing to risk. Just to be together

I loved how Jenkins Reid also added parts in the story that were based on real facts for example the riots that were done with the LGBTQ community and even some of the people that were mentioned like Elton John.

I am absolutely positive that I need you more than I've ever needed another living soul
