I have to give Layne some extra points for the premise. Whoever thought a friendship would flourish between three women, who were simultaneously having some sort of romantic relationship with the same man? Yep, they met at the funeral - one was his hook up, one was his girlfriend, and one was his wife. They were so different from each other, yet they were able to bond over their bad judgement, when it came to men, and from there, a fantastic female friendship was born.
Though all three women played a role in the book, the star of this story was Naomi. She was now an extremely successful business owner, but she was still nursing old wounds from her past. Olivia's journey was tough on me sometimes, but it was fabulous to see her working through her emotions and allowing herself to make peace with the past. She was also just such a vibrant and interesting woman. I wanted to know her better, and also had no problem cheering for her to work through her issues. She was tough on the outside, but had a heart of solid gold. What she was able to find in her heart was impressive, and there are some really touching moments in this story resulting from that.
And, who better to make peace with, than the lovely Oliver. What a wonderful hero Layne gave us! There were so many things I loved about this man. He was sweet and funny and a bit nerdy. He had put his on life on the back burner to first care for his sick mother, and later, to care for his sick father. It takes a special person to do something like that, and it takes an even more special person to love a person like that.
As I expect from every LL book I read: fabulous heroine, fantastic hero, stellar circle of friends, a heartwarming romance, and lots of feels.
