“You cannot expect to play with fire and not get burned.”
This was a very conflicting read. The cover states it's a broken love story, and that's exactly what you get, and then some. If you are a fan of the cheating trope or want to get into it, this is not the book to start with. It tells the story of being in a committed, loving relationship and giving it all up due to heartbreaking situations, making the wrong choice, and completely checking out—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
This is the first time I have felt uncomfortable reading the cheating trope. The MMC, Arsen, made me so angry, and I just didn’t grasp the initial connection, so I was always team Ben. Honestly, justice for Ben because that man deserves the world. He loved Cathy with every fiber of his soul. I feel for Cathy but also have so much hate for what she did. This book got me fired up. The ending threw me for a spin, and I still want justice for Ben. I'm happy and sad by how this ended, but I don’t feel whole.
