4.5

This book focuses on growth, forgiveness and connection. So often in second chance romances (which I typically don’t like), there are two people who did all the work off screen and are coming back together OR who never really fixed the issues that tore them apart, they’re just better at ignoring them. I don’t feel either of those was the case here. 

I love that they actually worked through their issues and put in the hard work to come back together. They recognize how coming back together isn’t just as easy as forgive and forget because of the scars they caused each other. 

This book also explores the children and how the divorce affected them and how they have to be part of that healing process too. 

Minor spoiler
A lot of books will use a pregnancy to push the couple back together so I predicted that’s where it was going when there was a pregnancy scare but that wasn’t at all what happened. I appreciated that they did the work.
