Jack and Lexi never had a typical relationship. After 2 years without speaking, she receives a phone call that changes everything. He unexpectedly asks her to convince the new girl, Bekah, that he's ready to commit. Jack is calling now after everything they had been through because there is another woman. She can't believe it. Follow Lexi in this heart wrenching drama as she relives her past relationship, or lack thereof, with Jack, and not just in her own mind, but to his fiance-to-be. Throw in Bekah's hot brother who always seems to be in the right place at the right time, a past with more secrets to unravel than you can even imagine, and you get a recipe for disaster. Find out what happens to Lexi as she travels to Atlanta to get the closure she so desperately desires from Jack, and how the bumps of life seem to keep getting in the way.
I SO did not want to cry for these two emotionally draining characters, but by the end, I was shedding a tear or 10. There’s so much wrongness in what they do, but I couldn’t help but feel heart-broken for all of the wasted emotion and time they spent revolving around one another. This book reminds me of The Opportunist by Tarryn Fisher, but with a little less WTFness and a lot more love scenes. I’m rolling into the second book with trepidation because my heart is still tender. [March 2013]
