3.5 stars — I went into reading this book without totally knowing what to expect. What I thought would be a novel about a woman stuck between two great men really turned into more of a descent into the darkest moment of her life.

I was waiting for the MC’s most recent love affair to play a larger role in the story line the whole time and he just sort of disappears. And although you definitely feel the whole time that she won’t really end up with Oscar, it’s really kind of painful to be dragged along through their relationship through the entire book just for it to end abruptly. I’m certainly not sold on Silas in the end. And when her brother comes and sleeps with Adam I was all “the heck”!!??

What I will say is that I enjoyed following these characters and appreciated reading a novel that felt more real and relatable than most do. I was cheering for Casey to get her sh*t together the entire way, and finished reading feeling hopeful for how her story would continue.
