Fool Me Once by Ashley Winstead
4.0
Look, <----- I knew from the first word I was going to love Stoner. Incredibly friend, sister, party partner but girlfriend...maybe not so much?!
Lee Stone, by day is a professional and she's taking on a clean energy bill, going by Stoner personally she is a complete self destructive, chaotic mess. Ben, the ex she forced to leave her before he could choose to on his own, is back in her life and working on the same bill. Forced proximity, witty banter and so much chemistry I felt it! Stoner's inner monologue had me in stitches the whole time, I could relate to the inner chaos. She doesn't always make the best choices, but who of us always has?
I didn't care for the cheating theme of the book, that said, this was done really well and in a way that wasn't highlighting a plot of underhandedness but mistakes that happen as a result of a completely broken soul. People are often characterized by their mistakes, a culmination of all the wrong decisions we've ever made. The takeaway from Fool Me Once shows that we are more that the mistakes, we are a sum of ALL our decisions, the good ones and the bad ones.
I really enjoyed reading this one and wouldn't mind another book!
