I requested a digital advanced readers copy from NetGalley and Boldwood Books and providing my opinion voluntarily and unbiased.

My Thoughts: Content warning of cheating. Sophie got burned with a cheating husband, she was left to mend her broken heart, while starting over. Sophie had a very toxic relationship, not only with her cheating husband, but with his mother as well. Sophie was able to stand in her truth and come out a stronger, more resilient woman. Sophie made you believe in her, her confidence, her no nonsense attitude. The issues presented in this story happen everyday and are extremely relatable. Enter Elliot about halfway through the book, he was the perfect hero. He was shy, had been hurt before, cautious, but yet strong and independent. MacLeod does a great job of the history between Sophie and James, where it went off the rails and then introducing Elliot. The book ended kind of abruptly, I wish there was a little more focus on Sophie and Elliot’s story and where they ultimately ended up. Having said that, I still feel like this was a wonderful story that I enjoyed. The characters were well developed with depth, witty banter, chemistry, and creatively woven. The author’s writing style, which I love, is complex, creative, funny, intriguing, and absolutely engaging. I love MacLeod’s books and have read a few. I highly recommend picking up this book!
