I’ve never been more upset by a book in my entire life. The summary I got before I downloaded felt so deceiving. You would think that the author would write a second chance romance with a single mom in a thoughtful way. But no. I’ve never wanted to sob about a woman’s story so much in my life. Poor Tennessee (her name is TENESSEE?!?!) has sex with her high school boyfriend ONE TIME and get preggo, all the while her boyfriend’s best friend was supposed to have asked her out first and has been pining for her this whole time. Which is fine, BUT THEN 13 years have passed and in this conservative, 1950’s era fucking town she doesn’t have ONE PERSON (who is not a piece of shit) on her side?! I’m so sorry but I literally could not handle a single part of this plot nor the entitled shithead of the supposed golden boy main character. I was hoping that his POV would save him but there was nothing redeemable about him. He was butthurt that his friend got to his crush first and then… let everyone and his mother treat her like shit for the next 13 years?! (Talk about her like she’s a hooker, accuse her of stealing, telling her she’s a loser, and a mess) as If she’s not already a poor single mother working at a diner. I didn’t know I was signing up for a highschool bully romance when I downloaded a SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE. The marketing for this thing was a complete sham.

I’m so sorry but in what decade is this shit written in?! I have loved this author’s work in the past, but this was intolerable. I finally had to end this fucking shit show when the poor girl Nessy and the bitch boy got hot and bothered and just when they were about to do the dirty he has the audacity to say he would have dated her (past tense) but that now this was all they could have so he could keep his golden boy reputation. I’m so sorry but bitch boys don’t deserve rights. So this is where I end the review and i hope anyone who has read through to this point spares themselves the distress this caused me.
