Until Next Weekend by Rachel Marks
5.0
Thank you to the publisher & NetGalley for this ARC!
Kate and Noah have been together since they were teens, and are married with 2 perfect sons. Until, Kate leaves one day with both of their boys. Noah is left to be ‘Weekend Dad’, envious of Kate’s new boring boyfriend Jerry, who gets to have more involvement in the boys’ life than he does.
Noah decides to win Kate back through a mission of self improvement - no more drinking, last minute plan cancellations and he will tidy both himself and his home up. Noah enlists the help of his new friend Mimi to “turn over a new leaf” before Kate marries Jerry in six weeks time.
Until Next Weekend tackled a few unexpected and difficult issues very well. Noah’s past trauma from his childhood with a neglectful and mentally ill mother has impacted on his own parenting, an issue Noah bravely confronts with the help of Mimi.
Each character was well developed and the story has a lovely underlying message of honestly and acceptance of things we cannot change.
I would definitely recommend this one
