A fascination synopsis drew me in but unfortunately the book, itself was a huge disappointment and only got worse the longer I read.

A Wattpad novel for the premenopause crowd. You know that trend of making fun of how men write women? Well, the way the author described Emory had the same energy and honestly made me gag. It’ll definitely find its audience with Colleen Hoover fans and certain corners of BookTok, but it’s just not for me.

I enjoyed this read. I felt that the author did well with character development, even for the characters that aren't in the book a lot, like Charlotte's mother. As a mom, Charlotte was relatable and I found myself emotional during some of her tribulations. Ed was also likeable and I enjoyed his side as well. I felt the plot was tied up nicely at the end, and also enjoyed Charlotte's run-in with a certain someone in the last chapter. Would recommend this book to others.

A great first novel to get lost in. I liked the storylines and how the author explores family and relationships. It took just a little to get into the story, but once I did, I was invested! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
