It takes all types of plots, right, to make up the varying books that exist and readers love. But sometimes there exist books that maybe shouldn’t be written and this one is probably one of them. All it is is a tale of a weak woman taking back a weak man. There is no hidden reason behind this. It wasn’t something where he didn’t know what he was doing. It was a decision he made, and she is scared of being alone and so takes him back. I wish I could have the time back that I gave reading this book. It will definitely be the last book by this author that I read. I wish more authors would learn that we live in an era where women don’t have to take cheaters back anymore. We can upgrade.

I can honestly say I’m not sure I could go quietly if this happened to me. But Lucy left with dignity and Grace. I loved that. It did not take Toby long, only moments, to figure out how bad he had messed up. And I loved that everyone what he did on his return to prove he is a better man.
It was a decent read. Kept me going until the end. Good gut punch. I really think it would have benefited from a chapter in the beginning from Toby’s POV (before the relationship implosion) regarding his thoughts on Lucy and the OW. It would have helped me understand better why he made the choices he made. It could have really ramped up the angst factor. The ending was quite rushed and awkward, yet mostly wrapped up. Will there be a part 2? IDK. I’m not too interested in that. I have enough closure. But I am looking forward to see what this author does next. I hope they do more angsty material!
Toby really messed up, but it only took one time and in that onetime he lost Lucy. Apart for over a year, Toby learned what was truly important in life. Once he met Lucy again he began to prove to her he had changed.
