Wow! I just finished this book as an audiobook and I’m deeply moved. Jordan and Max faced so many obstacles, so many sad moments, and are so different from each other, yet they find their way and accept each other for who they are. This book has lots of topics that are dealt with and are challenged, so you have to be in the right mindset to be able to deal with them. But in the end, this book is really hopeful. I loved it!
I think it’s even better when you read it as part such as the theatre play were a little confusing to listen to. I also gotta admit that I wasn’t a huge fan of “the wives”, yet I really liked how they all talked about setting boundaries in the end.

I wish I could give this a better rating!
I really liked the characters and enjoyed how openly they communicated (not every romance needs to be rooted in misunderstandings!). The darker topics, which I appreciate were included, were dealt with in a thorough and empathetic way.
Sadly, the pacing and overall style fell flat for me.
There were quite a lot of redundancies and scenes with no apparent point, which made it hard for me to get through the novel. I feel like the story could have been told in a more concise way and should have taken up no more than 200 pages.
Also: The many brand names throughout the novel bothered me. They were probably integrated to make the story feel more realistic, but to me, they felt more like pop-up-ads: distracting.
