I'm sad Kindle is being dumb and won't upload my notes and highlights :(
This was painful.
Tangi and Ethan broke up on New Year's Eve after being together for 7 years. It's been 3 years since they both have moved on... or so you thought.
The book starts at Ethan's father's funeral, where the two main characters see each other for the first time since the breakup. They chatted for a bit, then left the funeral to 'catch up', they went to their special diner where they shared their first kiss... then things took a turn, Ethan took her back to his place, a full-on making out session and they had sex twice?
This is where my issues start Ethan is a dirty cheater! He cheats on his girlfriend of one year by cheating with his ex, with whom he spent seven years with.
Then he has the audacity to tell Tangi that he's ENGAGED!? ... after just one year with his current girlfriend. Something that she begged him for YEARS, sacrificing her education, and endured 7 long years with him... only to break up and find out he's doing everything she wanted to do with someone else.
Cheating is where I draw the line, I was going to give this a chance even though the lack of surface-level editing drove me insane, I was going to overlook it but I just can't.
little things like forgetting the 'r' on the word "you" or the fact that the author wrote "here" instead of "her"

.“Ethan, I’m so sorry for y͟o͟u͟ loss. Your dad was a great man, and he was like a second dad to me.”
“Y͟o͟u͟ dad and I had a lot of fun together."
“You looking for y͟o͟u͟ mom?” he asked."
"Shit, Leah had you pegged right after all. Here I thought she was being unreasonable by shutting you out. Turns out I should have listened to h͟e͟r͟e͟ and stayed home today, but I respected your dad too much. By the way, go fuck yourself.”

Ultimately, this was not for me. Honestly, only read this because I have an ARC of book 2
