When We're Thirty
by Casey Dembowski
I can’t believe it took us finishing about 70% of the book before Hannah found out the truth about Madison!
This book wasn’t necessarily a terrible book, but the fact that this huge secret was being kept from her was what made it unbearable for me. I think the only reason I was able to finish it was because I really wanted to see how she’ll find out and what she’ll do about it. The whole friends to lovers thing was done well. They didn’t bullshit about their feelings for each other, which was great to see. However, I didn’t like Will’s reasoning at all!! It made me like him way less than I would have liked.
It’s not like he was even planning to tell her that Madison was his ex girlfriend. Then he just used the excuse of Hannah’s new found friendship with her to coward his way out of it. It would have been better if she was just an ex. But she was the ex that cheated on him with his brother!! That is a huge kind of information you don’t neglect to tell your supposed wife. Then the fact that the whole family knew and all pretended as if it was normal for Jon to actually marry Madison is crazy! I also couldn’t understand why after they finally reconciled, they just had to have a falling out again. It wasn’t even a serious thing yet they blew it out of proportion. Also why was Hannah so shocked that her parents didn’t just fully accept Will? I mean I can see why they would be concerned because their daughter got married just days after a reunion with this guy without telling anyone from their family! Honestly this book had potential to be something great but it just wasn’t it.
I think I would have probably given this book a better rating if they communicated better. It was just really hard for me to keep reading knowing that Hannah just thought Madison was her friend and soon to be sister-in-law. Aside from that, I really did like Will and Hannah together. They were really cute especially in the beginning. Plus I also really liked Kate and Riley.
