Child Josyln and David were straight asses. Yes, this is life, but it's crazy. Janelle should have listened to her BF earlier. Whew, this was a page turner.

The book was good but didn’t really get to into to it. It started to slow and it’s hard for me to get into a book like that. Once it starts slow it’s hard for me to finish.

I tried listening to this on Hoopla. I listened to about 20% and I really couldn’t get into this book. IMP… very boring.

Letter to character
Dear Jocelyn,
How do you feel? Sometimes things are funny how you still don’t end up with somebody you love at the end. People leave your life so better things can appear, but instead both you went backwards. Once a cheater always a cheater, and things went worse for your secret lover. His child died but you only lost your husband. I don’t mean to say it as if that’s not worse also, but there’s a human for every human. One day Jocelyn just one day you will find love. In the mean time begin you screwed up major. You had your sister who cared and a husband who loved you. Now your ex and secret lover David has his wife back. And what do you have? Sometimes old love can pull you back in and things you just want to try all over again. Life is full of mistakes though after a third time it’s not a mistake anymore. Meaning love for you still means something.
Dear David,
Your daughter died, you had an affair, and then you got your wife back. Child is your pride and joys nothing you can’t remake. It won’t be the same only something to feel your lost spot. Though David you and Jocelyn was something that should never have happen again. You lost everything that you had going for you something that now has nothing to do with you. Did you really think that knowing each other partners, things would be ok? Not really cause now Jocelyn has no one and your previous relationship would never be the same again. Like I said with Jocelyn you both were in the worn but it’s the same type of hurt between you to. Same type of pain just formed in different ways. When your friend was telling you don’t do this and that. Maybe you just wanted to try it yourself. So now listening to people isn’t so bad is it? David you have you wife back and that’s what matters. You can always make another child. REST AND PEACE TO YOUR FIRST ONE!
RETELL
This book was basically about an old couple who once was together. So the typical happens the lunch dates and the emails. Eventually they start seeing each other again and they have sex. Which makes these to Jocelyn and David have an affair with each other. Why so?Because, they both are married and no not to one another. Jocelyn and David start to try they relationship over because they thought it was possible. Janelle and DAVID baby dies through they still end up together. Jocelyn and mark go there separate ways and she’s all alone.
This book was just right for me I enjoyed it the most out of all the books I ever read. It was different and many parts caught my eye. Reading this in on day wasn’t a bad idea because I highly couldn’t take my eyes off. The characters and the problems were the best two things in this book.
The main idea that’s stuck in my mind was Janelle and DAVID baby dying. And how him and his current girlfriend can no longer be.
When reading this book lot of my thoughts changed! Don’t leave the one you love for the one you once loved. Because things may never go back to the same which either relationship!

Wow that was a great book. It was so full of drama. You should see the book now that I am done. I have marked all of the parts I want to remember when doing a review and I have 40 spots marked.
I can definately see the growth of the author since his earlier book.
I don't even know where to start with this, but everyone ended up where they needed to be and followed their hearts.
I will put a review on my blog at cherylbaryl.blogspot.com.
If you haven't read any books by Dwayne S. Joseph yet, then you should. He is an amazing author.

this book was really good, kind of slow at first but then it picked up. its about two teenagers that were in love in highschool, but as the grew up they seperated and moved on with their lives. never forgetting about eachother, one day they bumped into eachother, and their lives changed. they realized that they were still in love with eachother.
i liked this book because it shows that one little thing you do can turn into a massive thing. also it teaches yualot about life and some choices you should and shouldnt make as you grow up.

Any story that can have me attached to the characters gets my vote. I was a little put off with the emailing back and forth instead of simply texting to reach the person. Also, it was so real life. I loved how it was a believable story and not some made up fantasy/dream. A story that I can relate to seems to hold my interest. Loved the ending. I felt guilty for the happiness I had when a certain character ended up with no one (serves her right).
