Wednesday is a quick and steamy second chance love story. It's really more of a second attempt at a first chance, because Aria and Tristan didn't really get much of a first chance. They were friends all throughout high school and each one had a crush on the other (without the other knowing) and just when it looked like they were about to get together, Aria has a secret pregnancy with the star football player and she gets married and runs out of town without so much as an explanation to Tristan. Flash forward four years, and Aria is back in town freshly divorced and her and Tristan's story begins.
I enjoyed Wednesday. I don't think it is part of a series, and it was a very quick read. I found myself liking the fast paced, but at times I wanted the story to be a bit more fleshed out and longer so that I could keep reading it. I liked the back stories on what brought both Aria and Tristan back into town, and I loved their wednesday connections. At times they were a bit frustrating characters though. I understood why Tristan had a dislike for Aria, but I didn't quite get why Aria was so mad at him. She had to know that he would be surprised and angry over her sudden wedding. From his perspective she went out on on date with the guy and now she was marrying him. I don't know why she would be mad at his reaction, she was the one hurting him.
Watching the two of them take one step forward and then two steps back kept the book interesting but at the same time, towards the end I just wanted them to get over themselves already and get it together. They both needed a good shaking. However, it was undeniable that they had a crazy connection. Watching them together was my favorite part of the book. Surprisingly, I also enjoyed watching Tristan with the "little guy". It was pretty cute how they bonded.
Right around the 70% mark when Aria and Tristan were slowly moving on past the no feelings wednesday time stage to the I want more with you stage, was when I wanted the book to slow down and get a little more detailed. But this was a fast paced story all the way through. It was perfect for a quick afternoon feel good read, but might feel a little short and rushed if you are looking for a longer story that you can savor more. Wednesday will leave you wanting some "wild Wednesday" time of your own.
