Paper Hearts by Claire Contreras

Not my favorite. Liked the author's writing style so I'll definitely read more from her. I just didn't like the characters or find the second chance arc believable. I didn't buy Jensen's undying love given his past behavior. Why would anyone trust him again after what he did??
He regretted his actions, but whined, complained, and was hurt because Mia walked away from him?? What did he expect? He got another woman pregnant, married her, then wanted Mia, his supposed love, to not only stick around and watch him with Krista's child, but wanted Mia to be his friend while he married Krista, when his relationship with Mia was romantic and he knew Mia was in love with him?
Mia needed to decide how she felt, what she wanted, then stick to her decisions. She apologized way too much, had zero reason to feel guilty about her anger towards Jensen, for avoiding him for five years and her actions during that time.
I like second chance romances, but there are situations, I believe, can't be fixed. This being one of them. How could Mia not be reminded of Jensen's betrayal every time she looked at Olivia, regardless of how great a kid Olivia is?
