⭐⭐⭐⭐
This book is all about soul-searching
and moving on from infidelity in a relationship. Despite this wafer-thin plot,
the book is written brilliantly and the characters developed beautifully.
Shay Buchanan and Chloe Jensen are married and have been
together for five years. Theirs was a honeymoon-forever kind of love. However,
in the past year, their relationship was strangled by silence and Shay had an
affair with a colleague and six months back, they separated. Chloe is in the
process of trying to move on. Shay goes to plead with her to get back, but as
she is leaving, she gets involved in an accident. Chloe, to whom Shay still
matters, is solidly there to look after Shay in the hospital and after she is
discharged. The accident has wiped out the past year from Shay’s mind. She
doesn’t remember anything about their relationship unravelling and her own role
in it. Chloe is struggling with multiple emotions pulling her in various
directions.
Dealing with infidelity has to be one
of the most difficult things in a relationship. The author does a wonderful job
getting into Chloe’s head and heart during this phase. Shay, with all her grand
gestures of love, seems to be lacking the depth of feeling that Chloe has.
This is not a particularly light or
fast read, but it is a completely engrossing, and Chloe is someone we’d really
love to have in our life. We absolutely cannot imagine someone wanting to, much
less actually cheating on her.
