Another light, gooey rom com from Lila Monroe! I love that I know exactly what I’m in store for with her books – they’re quick, low angst, and playful with a dash of humor. This second chance romance is no different; I really enjoyed the story and it just flew by. Though I do think the hero is a bit of a dud (more on that in a minute), I finished this in one sitting and stayed connected the whole way through.

The story follows Katie, a woman who went through a breakup so devastating that it inspired her to start a blog, becoming the Breakup Artist and even landing a book deal. When the guy she’d been dating for a while, Wes, ghosted her, it changed Katie and made her a little more jaded about love. When they bump into each other again, it starts a chain of events that lead them to explore all of the reasons they went wrong the first time around, and wonder if maybe they’ve grown into two people who are right for each other.

I’ll be honest… I REALLY struggled with the circumstances of the original breakup in this one, so it colored my opinion of Wes. He was offered a job in another state and didn’t think that their relationship was that serious, so rather than dealing with the drama of a breakup, he just… moved to another state without mentioning it to his girlfriend. Kinda hard to recover from that one. Ultimately, I was able to get over that by thinking of it more along the lines of “they were just having fun and didn’t know each other that well” instead of “but they’re meant to be!” Still didn’t love him, and there certainly wasn’t enough groveling. That being said, it really didn’t hinder my enjoyment of the rest of the book. It’s the kind of light, easy read that’s perfect for unwinding after a long day, and I’m definitely looking forward to checking out what’s next for the series. I received an ARC via Give Me Books and am voluntarily leaving a review of this rom com.
