⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Yes, it’s a moving story about surviving heartbreak. I was rooting for Emily the entire time.

Blurb

Everything around Emily is falling apart. Her husband is leaving her for another woman, the diner where she works might close, and she’s not sure she’ll be able to keep her house. The only thing that hasn’t changed, is her son, Dante. Her love and devotion for him are about the only things moving her forward.

My thoughts

It was heartbreaking to experience that moment when Emily’s world imploded. The writing clearly described Emily’s reactions and feelings and it would be impossible not to feel those things with her.

Emily managed to keep a fairly clear head throughout everything that happened to her. She had wonderful support from her sister and best friend. She always put Dante first and never let him see any of the animosity she felt towards Tyler and Amy. In fact, she was civil with them as well, except for a few moments where she indulged in her vengeful thoughts about Amy. Those were fun instances and came at just the right time to provide a break in all the seriousness. Emily is a very relatable character.

The plot moved at a good pace. We see Emily try her hand at dating again, coming to terms with all the changes in her life, and remaking herself. Overall, I really enjoyed following Emily’s story and I was very invested in the outcome.

Thank you to the author for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
