Rewrite Our Story by Kat Singleton

3.0

i want to scream in frustration. mostly because i think i am small town and cowboyed out and i should’ve saved this one for another day because i can see myself blowing through it any other time. so while my rating is 3.25 stars it is 1. still a good rating. regular old romances usually don’t get much more than a 4 from me. so this is still a solid rating and a book i’d recommend. and 2. i think it is more my fault than the books fault. i think i picked this up at the wrong time and if i would’ve picked it up a different day i think the rating would’ve been higher.

first of all, this is a best friends brother story with some tragedy intertwined. Marigold (Mare)’s mother passed at a young age and when her father was grieving she turned to her best friend Pippa’s family for comfort. she grew up alongside them as pip’s family took her in. including her grumpy older brother, cade.

marigold was in love w cade as long as she can remember. then finally after they got together it was time for her to go off to college and pursue her dreams and everything between them ended, not well.

what finally got her to come home is the death of pippa and cade’s mother linda. which was also her first time seeing cade since their awful breakup years ago.

cade had a WONDERFULLY dirty mouth. i think the most questionable thing with him is that at the beginning he was absolutely IRATE with marigold for leaving and staying gone, but also once you finally see the reason why she stayed gone you can’t even really blame her.

marigold ended up pursuing her dream to be a writer and writing her story about her and cade. where she named the main characters “wade and daisy” which i did physically roll my eyes at. i mean, this whole time her best friend supposedly had no idea her best friend and her brother hooked up years ago, had read the book many times, and never managed to make the connection that wade and daisy was actually her best friend marigold and her brother cade. i really don’t think the girl is that stupid.

anyways, it wasn’t bad. i actually did enjoy it. i pointed out the more questionable moments but it was well written, fun, EXTREMELY dirty, and a very sweet love story. if you love the best friends brother trope, i’d def recommend this one!

i’m gonna go read a thriller or fantasy now so i can get back to my cowboys asap.
