2-2.5 Stars for me.

Tabitha is stuck in an abusive relationship but when she meets Ezra, there's an instant connection. There's only one problem, Ezra is married. Tabitha soon has to figure out if she's ready to become 'the other woman.'

Overall, this book wasn't too bad, specifically for one that is self-published. You never really know what to expect but this book definitely had a lot of feeling and emotion, as well as brushing upon tough and important topics like domestic violence and depression. I liked that there were some POV's from Luke, Tabitha's abusive boyfriend, and Lia, Ezra's wife. I would have actually liked more more Luke's POV and how he felt about his actions towards Tabitha. Lia's POVs were really heartbreaking most of the time, especially when she began to figure out the truth.

One of the main problems I had with this book was a personal one and it was just that I didn't like Ezra. He was just a bit of a slimeball to me. This man was older and married and he was perving on a young 21-year-old who obviously had a lot of issues with her family and her home life. I definitely felt like he took advantage of Tabitha a lot and he tried to play innocent with the whole repetition of the phrase 'friendship' but then kept calling Tabitha 'beautiful' and 'babe' which obviously messed with her head. He had none of my sympathy, that's for sure!

I would have loved a bit more time between Tabitha and her dad and how her relationship with him developed and how she began to accept his health prognosis. I also don't think there was a real need for a rundown of all the men Tabitha dated and why it didn't work out near the end as well. Overall, this was a solid effort for a self-publication and I really applaud Jade for not only creating a good story but being brave and getting it out there too.
