Wow could this book be anymore badly written than it already was? This is my third book by this author and I actually appreciated the duet I read a few years about but wtf made her think “yea I’ll write about a 35 yr old bored housewife in a shitty marriage falling in love and fucking a freshly 18 yr old high schooler who happens to be my sons best friend” ⁉️ Never mind the fact that their MUTUAL attraction started when they met when he was 15 and she was 32 bc of the whole “soulmates reincarnated” storyline that was randomly put in here and mentioned throughout the story like that makes their romance any better like HUH. ALSO the fact that the FMC is practically a doormat throughout the book when it comes to her husband turned ex-husband for the sake of “keeping the kids happy” when they’re very much aware of their father’s infidelity bc the 23 yr old skank he cheated on her with HIT ON THEIR MINOR SON AND GRABBED HIS DICK????? what is it with these older woman wanting high school kids bc that’s exciting what they are. KIDS.
