Fool Me Once
by Ashley Winstead
Re-read 8/15/23: Finally cracked the longest reading slump of my adult life, and of course it would be with re-reading a favorite <3 this book is iconic and I am so!!!! excited!!! to finally now be able to re-unite with these characters by diving into The Boyfriend Candidate!!!
Re-read 5/27/22: This is a damn near perfect book for me and I loved it even more on re-read than I did the first time I read it back in January. Our main character Lee is the definition of a hot mess, but she crawled right under my skin and into my heart and I just adored her, questionable morals and all. This is definitely a book following some ~*unlikeable*~ characters, but I found myself constantly rooting for all of them. The story revolves pretty heavily around cheating, and while there isn't any physical cheating going on during the present timeline of the story, I can't deny that there are definitely some lines that are being crossed by Lee and her love interest, Ben. If emotional cheating done by a main character is a hard line for you, I would maybe skip this one. But with all that being said, this book just worked so, so perfectly for me. It was somehow both hilarious and heart-wrenching in all the best ways and I will absolutely be re-reading it for the rest of my life. Crossing my fingers and toes that Ashley Winstead has plans to write more rom-coms in the future because I need so much more!!!! So, so good.
Original read 1/14/22: This was EXQUISITE. It may only be January but I already know that this is definitely going to be right up near the top of my 2022 favorites list.
CW: cheating, death of a parent, alcoholism, drug use
