The perfect life.
The perfect marriage.
The jilted lover.
Their worlds collide.
Fate intervenes twelve years later and their paths intersect once again. All three will question whether the heart is truly capable of dividing and being divided; each will decide whether it matters who you loved first or who you love last.
Together they will learn that in the end, there can always only be one.
PROLOGUE
They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Today, I see neither as I stare at the stranger in the mirror. There is nothing beautiful about me; I really don’t know what he sees. Even the dark circles around my eyes are cavernous and empty. They show no trace of someone who lives, only of someone who exists.
No matter how hard I try, there is nothing familiar about the person I used to be. I don’t know where to find myself because I don’t know where I’ve gone.
Who am I?
As I struggle to accept my fate, these are the things I know:
I am a mother and a sister.
I am no longer a wife.
I am someone else’s lover.
He took away my heart and the life we made together. I will never recover. This time, these wounds will never heal.
“Are you sure you have to leave tonight?”
The sound of his voice transports me back to the present, where I’m standing in his robe, in his bathroom, in his home. He encircles his arms across my chest and plants little kisses on my neck.
“Can’t you stay? I’ll take you home first thing tomorrow morning.”
“Sorry, I really have to go. I want to be home to see Eddie off to school.”
He tightens his hold and I relax my body against his. “You were absolutely amazing,” he whispers gruffly into my ear. “Stay with me a little longer. I’m not done taking care of you yet.”
One day at a time.
Tonight was all about forgetting but not yet forgiving. Filling but not replacing. And emerging from the abyss of loneliness knowing that I’ve pulled farther and farther away from the light.
REVIEW
This
book was absolutely fantastic! We open up to the beginning with Alex's
point of view of Isa and him in their life together. They celebrate
their 12 year anniversary with Alex, and her two beautiful children. We
get to see how beautiful their life is together, and then we jump to
Isa and her perspective and we see her run into Jesse. Some big plot
things and drama occurs, and then we see Jesse's point of view.
Throughout the book, Isa has to decide whether she is happy in her life
with Alex, or if she wants a new life with her own freedom and
different life. What will she choose?
I
would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who has read the first
book, but also anyone looking for a good story! Christine Brae has
completely captured my attention and my love for these characters, each
time that she writes about Isa and her story. I am so lucky to have had
a chance to read this story, and you should read it too. Please take
it amongst yourself to read this! Her writing allows us to experience
Isa, Alex, and Jesse's persectives of what they are going through. It is
such a great story, please read it! You won't regret it! Happy
Reading!

When not listening to the voices in her head or spending late nights at the office, Christine can be seen shopping for shoes and purses, running a half marathon or spending time with her husband and three children in Chicago
