As soon as I cracked this one open, literally LINE 1, I was like where are my tabs!!! This book is compiled of 12 stories of relationships and situationships where men literally thought with their 🍆 and thought they could just walk all over their partners. Now this sounds traumatic and there were definitely more heartfelt stories but honestly, the women behind these stories just continued to outshine the chaos!
I hated seeing these characters go thru what they went thru but I absolutely loved watching them find their inner strength, standing 10 toes strong and taking back their power! Even if that meant losing their partner, walking away from abuse or managing their partners secrets (for their benefit). Oh, and you will cackle!!!! When I say there was one story that had me in tears🤣 I love love this collection so much!!! Thank you again to the author for your words and sharing this with us! I cannot wait to read more from this author. She’s got her debut novel coming out this year and I will absolutely be adding that to my TBR!!!
