That’s a tricky one for me. I loved so many parts of this book, so many, they were very relatable for me and there were parts, specially the middle part that I wanted to smash Lucy’s head somewhere.
Telling the story about Lucy and Wyatt was so beautiful. They were high school sweethearts and then she left the small town, Wyatt and her family to go live her dream in the big city and being independent and self-reliant. And hey, I’m 90% behind that, you are young, free and facing a lot of possible opportunities. The other 10% was that they could have handled the break up better, but they were immature and ok, life goes on.
7 years later she is back to hometown, without a job (she was fired) and her house, back living with her parents. She was feeling the residual rejection from being fired and panic at not finding a new job yet, and that my friends I could relate so much that I actually cried, I AM living this nightmare and I could understand her situation so much that it hurts.
But then she got pregnant and Lucy went off the rails. Her actions were ridiculous, from thinking only about herself (not even the baby) to doubt Wyatt and his intentions even though he was upfront with her all the time. You know what? Sutton (Wyatt’s twin) was right she was too selfish and Lucy needed to hear that!
What I was happy towards the end was that she was the one who left AGAIN, did everything wrong, like she said “I’d chosen to do this alone” however she learned the hard way and went on a road of redemption. Which I really enjoy reading it.
Wyatt was perfect at all times, I don’t have a single fault to talk about him, he was all in and just wanted to be respected and to be considered. He deserves a medal!
The epilogue and the bonus scene were both perfect I was elated. Congratulations to the author for making me feel all these emotions, from understand, to wanting to throw my Kindle on the wall, to love!
