4.5✨

A while back I read on reddit a story of how a woman found out her husband was cheating on her, and his affair partner was also married. They all divorced, and the woman fell into bed with the other husband, resulting in a pregnancy (ok, I'm pretty sure the story was fake, but most of Reddit is...I'm there for the entertainment). Unfortunately it didn't end with a whirlwind fairytale romance, they stayed platonic and commitment to their child. I occasionally think of that story and sorely wish the had ended up together, while their cheating exes fell apart. I wanted their happily ever after so badly!

So when I read the synopsis for this one I was hook, line, and sinker. I saw some not so great reviews so I entered this one with trepidation, but left it thoroughly satisfied. I loved...everything. I read it within a day, I was that engaged with it.

My one, single quibble is wishing the ending wasn't so abrupt (buuut there are epilogues!).

It was damn near perfect and finally scratched an itch I've had for a while.
