My Almost Ex by Piper Rayne
5.0

I have been waiting for Adam’s story since finishing the first book in the series and this was well worth the wait.

Adam and Lucy were childhood sweet hearts, they married young, they were happy until one day they weren’t and Lucy left unexpectedly. Flashforward a year and Adam is finally starting to come out of his depression and Lucy is back but believes they are still happily married due to a case of amnesia. The big question is why did she leave in the first place?

Even though Adam is heartbroken and upset with Lucy he still has so much love for her. They have years worth of history together and it isn’t just something that you can easily forget about and move on from. He wants to help her, even if it means finding out the truth will break his heart all over again. I felt for Lucy. She has very few memories and at times almost kind of felt like the outsider by not remembering something.

I loved seeing Adam and Lucy reconnect, learn more about each other, remember their history together. Even if Lucy never remembered why she left, they knew they both still loved each other and were willing to take the chance again. Once the truth is finally revealed, my heart broke for not just Lucy but for Adam. I love how supportive Adam was throughout the entire thing, even after the truth came out.

Of course, there was more of the rest of the Greene family, plus Ethel and Dori shenanigans. The more I get of this family the more I love them. I have definitely drank some of that Greene family Kool-Aid.

If you’re looking for a small town, friends to lovers, second chance romance this is one to read!
