When I Should've Stayed
by Max Monroe
This book spans multiple time periods, exploring Clay and Josie’s relationship over the years. I’ll admit, the timeline shifts confused me at first—but once I found a Goodreads comment recommending to read the first book beforehand, everything clicked. I went back, read it, and after that, I was fully on board with the story.
Josie’s character frustrated me at times with some of the questionable decisions she made, but that just added to the emotional rollercoaster. Clay, on the other hand, had total golden retriever energy—loyal, kind, and a joy to read about.
This was my first read from Max, and I was honestly blown away by how well he tells a story. I can’t wait to read more from him in the future. I’ll definitely be buying a physical copy for my bookshelf once it’s released. Huge thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!
