My One and Only by Kristan Higgins
5.0
I really enjoyed this book. There wasn't anything too surprising about the storyling it was just a fun, sweet, quick read with a nice happy ending. Sometimes you need to read books like that.
Harper is a divorce attorney on Martha's Vineyard. She's only ever too happy to help people out of their collapsing relationships since she was divorced herself twelve years before. She's pretty content with her life until her stepsister calls to inform her that she's marrying the half brother of Harper's ex-husband. From there, Harper's content world is thrown upside down as she begins to figure out what she really wants.
I've only read one other Kristan Higgins book, and in that book we got the POV's of both our hero and heroine. I know that was not a typical structure for her writing. My One and Only is told from Harper's point of view. While I liked Harper as a narrator, there were times that I wish we could have seen things from Nick's perspective. But I thought that Higgins was completely fair in regards to Nick. The book didn't ever really venture into the territory of Nick being the only one to blame for mistakes of the past. Harper acknowledged her fair share of mess-ups.
Regardless, I thought the book was a good light read that was good at balancing the serious moments with light-heartedness. I can definitely see myself re-reading this again at some point. Until Then!
