Separate Lives

This book is a tear jerker, for sure and it is painful to read such a raw rendition of a relationship that is on its way out. Told from Susie point of view, from letter’s that P writes to her mother and through text messages/emails sent by Alex….it is heartbreaking.

I loved that it was so raw and that nothing was faked. There were a few super funny scenes (the ones where Susie walks in on Phil and Harriette is hilarious) and some that are heartbreaking (the chapter when Susie realizes that it is over and is trying to co exist with Alex really pulled at my heart strings).

The ending was a HUGE surprise, even though I did somewhat call it in the middle of the book.
