Loved it!
I loved this book! I picked it from the Kindle First list a couple months back, and figured it would be a quick fluff read. Which it was... but I loved it so much more than most! I think it's because I found that I could relate to Jenna in a lot of ways.
It's well written, and the story is cute, fun, and moves at a good pace.

Had some parts where I literally LOL’d and other parts where I thought I knew what was coming next, but it was completely different. It was cute.

Here's what I look for when I read a romance:
1) It doesn't make my inner feminist want to shrivel up and die - the girl still cares about her career, there's no slut-shaming, the men aren't total dicks, etc
2) Good chemistry and banter between the leads
3) Solid jokes
Luckily I can say this book checked all the above and I had a lot of fun reading it. I was really worried that the premise - girl accidentally falls in love her best friend's ex-husband - would lead to some unfortunate women-hating down the line, but I was very pleasantly surprised that it wasn't the case. This book is a fun romance that also shows that people can change and grow from past relationships, and there doesn't have to be bitterness about it.
I also loved that she was a PR girl :)

Perfect easy read
This book had me laughing and crying. It was a quick read and great for a relaxing Sunday. I got this book for free from Amazon and I hope to purchase more books from this author!

This is a shortened version of the review I wrote for my audiobook blog.
I can wholeheartedly recommend this book if you are looking for romance and storyline and not for the dirtiest sex 😉 It’s quite refreshing that Adam is a thoroughly real guy, not a two-dimensional cave man. Jenna has a tendency to make decisions that make you face-palm, but Adam doesn’t do that. I enjoyed the development of their relationship and feelings for one another. The story feels filled out by several plot lines that are being followed through the book. However, while I found the book cute and light-hearted, the scene that was set might not be for everyone. If you have a strong opinion about or have been hurt by infidelity, this book might not be for you.
Kelly Mizell has a very pleasant voice with a good ability for different voices and enticing male voices. She also knows how to present a joke deadpan. Thanks to this wonderful narrator things never get hysterical while still giving you many laughing out loud moments. Or at least giggle lightly like a lady 😉

Slightly more serious than Fenske's prior novels, but still with fun banter and chemistry among all characters. This book deals skillfully with the complicated emotions behind break-ups, affairs, and the new relationships that form as a result.

Good lord, what a mess. The book itself was decent, but the fact that Jenna kept lying to everyone and bringing all this drama down on herself was exhausting.
