False Start by Kandi Steiner
5.0
Wow, just wow.
I can firmly say I am 100% a fan of Kandi Steiner. In April, read Learn Your Lesson, and that book made me fall in love with Kandi's writing and storytelling. I knew Learn Your Lesson would not be my last book by her. Now, having read False Start, I will be exploring her backlog.
Kandi has a way of pulling you in from the very first page and making you care about these characters. Madelyn is a single mother who is dealing with her crazy ex-husband and his abuse. She never expected Kyle, her high school ex-boyfriend, to waltz back into her life. Kyle, who is starting his rookie season with the Seahawks, never expected to see Madelyn again, but some cosmic force brought them back into one another's lives as she is now his realtor Both Madelyn and Kyle have a past, and both blame one another for each other's heartache.
When it comes down to Madelyn and Kyle's heartbreak, we do not know what happened, and as the story unfolds, we see that there is a huge miscommunication. I, for one, am not a fan of the miscommunication trope. Kandi excelled at pulling off this trope to work with the characters' situations. It leaves a punch to the gut, and you cannot help your heartbreaking for these two characters.
I enjoyed every aspect of the story and the growth of Madelyn and Kyle. Both learned that they still had a soft spot for one another, and Madelyn was able to slowly come out of the disappearing shell that her ex-husband left her in. Also, I loved the dynamic between Madelyn's son, Sebastian, and Kyle. Then, the WAGS and Madelyn were a great treat.
I haven't devoured a book so fast in a while now.
