Hmmm, this book was okay. Nothing too extravagant, IMO (in my opinion).It tells the story of a woman who is non-exclusively dating men. She gets into something almost serious with a decent guy. And things are going well. Until suddenly, because of her loss/trauma, she finds someone who relates/connects to her, even more than the first guy. HOWEVER, standing on morals + all decency in the world, she should not indulge in this new affair. It’s just wrong but to them, it feels right. I guess it can teach us (selfless) people a thing in life.
