I’ll finish my review later, but also.
What the fuck is up with the son of the FMC—a grown man—never defending his own mother against his father’s mistress?
And it never gets resolved? The son is still an asshole who never defends the mother who underwent cervical cancer but still had him? Who raised him and endured the mistress?
Yeah, boy bye.
Byyyyyyyyyye.

I’m back.
This is could’ve been an interesting read.
* Older FMC x Younger MMC ✅
* Black, accomplished FMC ✅
* Latino MMC who loved FMC first ✅
But my GOD I’m let down.
This is a story all about how the FMC’s life got tripped flipped upside down. And I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there. I’ll tell you how the fucking FMC never gets her dues and how it’s not fair.
FMC is an accomplished, widowed 50s Black woman who is trying to bounce back not just from her trauma as a cancer survivor but a survivor of infidelity, empty nesting, and the death of not just her husband but what she knew as her family. She receives very little support from her son, who forces his mother to be in the presence of the mistress and never once defends her, nor is anyone woman enough to let him know he’s a fucking asshat for doing this to his mother.
MMC is a Latino 30s architect who loved the FMC when he was a mere uni student. He and the FMC’s son did see the now deceased father, but they kept quiet—ad you do. And the MMC lusted and loved the FMC for so long, yet not enough to provide evidence of her having a cheating spouse and not enough to defend her when her own son never had the guts to do.
The son begs the FMC for his nuptials to be at the family home, forcing his mother to endure the judgment of her ex MIL and her late cheating husband’s mistress, and he never defends her. Of course the mistress—Jojo—can’t do any wrong since her son—the FMC’s son’s half brother—is all the son cares for, as if his own mother doesn’t matter.
Wait she does.
He has the MMC watch his mother for the wedding because his poor mother doesn’t have a date.
