What We Broke by Marley Valentine

2.75

---

My third Marley Valentine, and I think I can safely say that maybe she's just not for me. Maybe how she writes heavier subject matter just doesn't hit for me. I thought it was an interesting setting that I typically like reading about that being established couples, and the subject matter seemed it could be heavy and have the depth that I look for. It was... fine. It felt a little short. I understood where both MCs were coming from in their actions, but it didn't quite hit the emotional impact that I would have expected. Everything seemed surface level and lacked nuance, and if it did, the nuance was barely touched upon outside of being mentioned.
