Watch Me Unravel by Julia Wolf
4.0
I needed something a bit sweet after immersing myself in dark romance and I knew Julia Wolf would deliver! I can always count on her to give me the balance of sweet & spice.
I love David after being introduced in the first book of this series, I was excited to get his backstory. And what a story it was. I am a sucker for a second chance romance and I felt a mix of emotions while reading this. Sylvia reads as a great single mother - Emma is her priority, but she still finds time for herself, even if that wasn't always the case. It's great to see.
I wasn't expecting to feel so conflicted with the characters POV when it came to the conflict. I felt for both of them equally, but it essentially boiled down to neither one of them expressing their emotional feelings (a typical case for romance). But I LOVED the mention of a main character in therapy. I would have liked to see that portrayed a bit more, but I enjoyed him finding other healthy coping techniques.
There was a detail that sort of irked my nerves as a WOC. Sylvia's main subplot is her spending part of her time with at risk youth, and teen parents getting them involved in theatre. While I absolutely adore the idea of characters working with underserved communities, I absolutely did not like that both of the supporting characters were mentioned as POC. If I'm remembering that correctly, someone please correct me.
