    We are just told to believe their romance is amazing and worth the constant betrayal of the main characters ...
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2018*

Poorly written in an awkward and distracting first person point of view.Author is never able to establish the central premise. These characters are supposed to have an intense, tragic romance that moves us to tears and sadness. But this is not portrayed by the book or characters. Rather, the author just tells us that it is an intense and tragic romance. She never convincingly shows us. The characters are unlikeable and selfish. Because of the first person point of view I never even remotely understood the main male character's motivations. The characters never have a serious discussion regarding their relationship. No depth whatsoever. We are just told to believe their romance is amazing and worth the constant betrayal of the main characters wonderful husband and children. Emotional and physical adultery are portrayed as hopelessly romantic. Finished and could not have cared less about the "tragic" ending. Last punch of the book was Lucy ruining her third son's life with another first person (lol) letter saying what an amazing guy Gabe was.

    Couldn’t stand it
  

*by L***3 on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2018*

Maybe I wouldn’t have hated this book as much if I didn’t hate the selfish, self absorbed, delusional narrator so much. I also couldn’t get past that this “love story” began after the twin towers were bombed by terrorists on 9/11. Maybe because I lived through that (like anyone else born before that date) and remember clearly it was not a time for romance. This story read more to me like a cautionary tale on the importance of LETTING GO as opposed to obsessing over lost first loves. I almost feel sorry for anyone who would actually identify with Lucy. Please, move on. You deserve better and I promise you better IS out there.

    hurt a man who had done nothing but love her. If she had truly loved Gabe
  

*by T***X on Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2017*

I found the book ok, but I have to say that I think that is biased because of my age.  I thought Gabe was a selfish prick who did not care about the havoc he wrought in Lucy's personal life.  He cared about people but only from afar.  Lucy was willing to ruin her family, cause upheaval in her children's lives, hurt a man who had done nothing but love her.  If she had truly loved Gabe, she would have left with him the first time.  Now that is from a perspective of 66 years.  If I was 23, I would have loved this book.  So go figure.
