Review: Interesting premise but could use a bit of work.

So I saw the premise for this book and thought. It’s just so different I have to give it a go. It is a tricky subject matter to deal with and I wondered how the author would make us sympathetic to these guys. Coincidence has these two meeting and planting that seed of doubt about their partners. Of course the inevitable happens and they get proof that their spouse are cheating together.  Their partners are non the wiser, however and Liv and Axel decide on a strategic retreat. They want evidence and legal advise before they rush in with accusations.This is where the friendship comes into it. They are both in the same situation and bond over the betrayal. It would be easy to see any relationship these two as possible revenge or rebound move. Luckily S.Andre works hard to show growing feelings between these two. This isn’t cherry subject matter and while Axel and Liv’s relationship develops they have to deal with the fall out of failed marriages. So at times it was kind of depressing.I did find some of the writing a little disjointed. Jumping from scene to scene with out leading into it. Plus some more detail in places would have been good, like what happens to their Ex’s? Do they stay together? It just felt like the book could use a little polishing to bring it all together. From what I can see this was S Anders first book. But really this author is something on an enigma.I can’t find a lot of info on this author at all. Being her (or his) first book might explain the jumpiness to the story line. I have read the second book in the series and it had a similar  feel and shortcomings. I was a bit disappointed, hoping that the author would raise their game just that little bit more. So close to a great book but not quite there.  But then I read the first chapter to the third book coming out soon and thought, yep I will defiantly read that. So  the fact I will read all three books must mean S Anders is doing something right?
