Phenomenal read! This second chance romance is full of real life realities, struggles and love. This is the first romance I've read where the couple divorced and comes back together at the end! It's an interesting concept, and I definitely love the idea of love prevailing (as a child of divorce), and I think it's a beautiful story about healing both individually and together.

I loved this story! Buchanan did a great job of writing the characters and making my heartache for them and the results of their actions (not to discredit the fact they were not handed the best cards of life!).

This was unlike any other romance novel I've ever read and I loved it. I can't stop thinking about it and almost want to just restart it all.over again!

Great info and a great way to share it. As a classicist myself I can be very picky when it comes to nonfiction books about my area of study but I loved this book. It was slower because of the sheer amount of information you're digesting, but that's a good thing in my opinion! Lots of detail and clear understanding and explanations.

This feels like a book that needs to be on every websites list of books to read in your twenties. It was concise and informative without being dry or dull, and I flew through it since it was nice and short. I appreciated that Tone got to the point and stated her arguments then got right into them without boring us with too many anecdotes.

I wasn't quite as obsessed as usual but that might be myood more than the book? Unsure. I'm almost always a 5 star reviewer for Christina Lauren books, but this one just didn't hit quite as hard I guess.
