Sara Cate knows how to write incredibly good spice, and The Home-Wrecker did not disappoint in that department. However she also managed to write an incredibly beautiful story alongside that about self discovery and sexuality, which I absolutely adored. The bisexual representation in this book was incredible, and watching Caleb come to terms with his sexuality and own it was very freeing to read about, but then also seeing on Deans side of things how comfortable he was being who he is, healed a part of me. 

I will say this book took me a moment to get into, I’m not a big fan of the cheating trope. But I think how it’s handled helped a lot with me ultimately enjoy this book so much. 

I ended up loving all three characters and their relationship grew into something so easy. I loved how the book starts with all kinds of miscommunication but then as it goes on watching all three of them open up and learn to communicate was one of my favourite things about this story! Dean is my king I loved him from his first chapter and his relationship with their daughter had me MELTING! Caleb had me falling in love with him, he was honestly swoon worthy! And Briar, although quite annoying to begin with, I grew to love her and how accepting she was of those around her.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this book, packed full of spice but was also a very emotional read from start to finish!
