I think I would've DNF this book if I wasn't listening to it.
Let's dive into it.
Everything about the synopsis of this book caught my attention, WLW about a lawyer who helps her enemy's wife get a divorced? Single mother? Yes please! This book was off to a great start. I love how Caroline and Hannah's story started as a friendship and how cute Caroline and Abby got close. What I mean when I say I feel like I might have DNF this book if I wasn't listening to it, is that at times the book got stuck, the story didn't seem to be going anywhere and I didn't feel it as much because I only read the book in certain times of the day. But looking back at it, it definitely has that flaw. Also, the slowburn in this one may have been unbearable to read. They made me way too much for that kiss!!
And also, let's me just mention how amazing the spicy scene was. Omg the tension, the built up and the dirty talk!! I cannot handle this. My jaw was dropped while I listened to it. The only bad thing about it is that there weren't more of them!! I don't know exactly why but I expected this book to have a lot of spice and I was a bit disappointing. Also I would've love to see more of the spice scene we were given. I feel like they cut it too soon.
Another aspect I disliked is how rushed the last few pages felt. Michael's lesbophobic remarks were literally brushed off and I wish they dived more into it. How harmful could he be to Abby, for example. But I do loved that last scene of Hannah finally opening up about her feelings, it was romantic and adorable.
Overall I did like this book, at times I loved it so much! It just fell flat sometimes. It's hard for authors to at kids in romance books because most of the times they feel like just another plot tool, but Haley Cass did an amazing job and I loved Abby! She was the cutest and most hardcore Hannah and Caroline's shipper.
