This book was not what I was expecting. It kind of reads as two books and I’m not entirely sure it completely works.
I found this book, especially the “then” parts to be slow. The language choices at times didn’t suit the age of the characters and there’s a generous sprinkling of British slang despite the book being set in America.
If this book is truly to be a second-chance romance, the past section takes up too much time which then leads to info dumping in the current section. I also found connections weren’t really explained. I would’ve loved some background into Jase and Jacob’s relationship, it seemed like a good one, but it’s kind of glossed over.
I also didn’t especially like Vicki. She seemed entirely unconcerned about her best friend’s wellbeing and don’t get me started on the rest of the wedding party. That bit was all a bit disconnected for me.
So in all, an okay book.
I would also advise a trigger warning might be needed for those who are sensitive to rape, violence against women, and suicide.
