When I Was Yours
by Samantha Towle
Evie and Adam's reunion after ten years wasn't rainbows and unicorns and I happen to like concepts like this where there's tension between the two main characters after being apart for so long because one of them left the other in the past.
This one though had me frustrated despite the HEA. Evie's been holding out the truth on why she suddenly left Adam out of the blue. It's been TEN YEARS and Adam had a lot of point during their argument. This wasn't also the first time I encountered a story where the reason for leaving was because of a third party. And I actually predicted it. I understand and respect Evie's decision for leaving but... really... ten years and she's still holding out the truth from him yet she kept saying she loves him and wants to be with him FOREVER even though Adam said he doesn't trust her anymore. He asks for the reason, she wouldn't give it to him.
The past-present from chapter to chapter was also tiring. I'm more interested in reading their present rather than having a full-length chapter of their past because it cuts whatever feeling I have after finishing the present-chapter. It's like after I finish today and wanting to know what will happen next, I get transported back to yesterday.
I loved the ending though. Despite how frustrated I felt most of the time, the ending was very satisfying for me and I love how it highlighted what happened to the other characters.
