A review by cwgoodyear
Bed and Breakup by Susie Dumond

4.0

 I’m not generally a fan of second-chance romances and this kind of solidified it (I was offered this book and thought the blurb was good so I took a risk). While I understand the reasons for the original breakup (young love, conflicting future wants), the lack of communication drove me up a wall. However, the characters do work on it consistently and (bonus) no third act break up! I liked the main characters, but at times they felt too similar to each other, and I had to double check which POV I was in. The side characters definitely kept the book going in the first part, bringing more life to the small town. It definitely got better towards the end, once they got out of their “I want to make you miserable so you leave” phase. I really liked the descriptions of the art and food, they were beautiful and left me wanting more. While I likely wouldn’t read this again, I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys second-chance romances, particularly of the sapphic, small-town variety.
