Letters to Molly by Devney Perry

5.0

“I’ve been in love with you since I was twenty-one years old. I might not wear the ring, but that doesn’t mean I don’t feel it there.”

This was such a beautiful emotionally story about learning to forgive and fix mistakes in the past, that it’s never too late. A second chance, marriage reconciliation book.

Finn and Molly have been divorced for 6 years now and when one night brings them back together, letters start showing up. Letter of things Finn didn’t send when they were together. It forces them to bring back old fights and old pain to the surface and deal with them when they couldn’t all those years ago. They learn how to love and trust one another again and most importantly how to forgive each other and themselves.

“Do me a favor. You said you ruined your life?” I nodded. “Yeah.” “Ruin it again.”

It’s clear from page one the love they still had for one another. But when the communication was lacking it drove them apart until it couldn’t be ficus. I love that they didn’t just ignore their previous issues but got to address everything that went wrong. They went back to the beginning on what happened and how they were going to not only fix it but make it better this time around. Finn didn’t give up this time and showed Molly that all the mistakes they made together weren’t worth losing each other a second time.

“My love for Finn wasn’t going to stop. I could tell myself and others I wasn’t in love with Finn. It was all lies. I’d buried that love deep, shoving it down whenever it threatened to appear, but it was still there. It had always been there.”

I love seeing Poppy and Cole happy in this book and how they played a role in all of this. The dynamic between the kids and how they were amazing parents no matter what was going on between them. Molly sticking up to her mother for herself and Finn. And the two grumpy old men making me laugh throughout the book. And I loved the reveal on who was behind the letters.

“You’ve always been a fool over her.” “Always. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
