I just want to say that I love Morgan Parker's books! They just keep getting better & better.This novella.. Goes into a little more detail into the lives of Oliver & Olivia. Their whole story.A little of Morgan's life after Emma& a new character Hope.This story had me going...it's not your typical love story. It was kind of sad..frustrating.In fact I was so frustrated with Oliver...He was so wishy washy with his feelings for Olivia.The whole back & forth with Oliver was driving me crazy!The way that I see it...He's with his wife out of habit. He's been with her for so long that he doesn't want to rock the boat.& I think he uses the "kids" as an excuse for not leaving her.I'm sure they do play a part in him not leaving..But...I think he just didn't want to start all over again... Taking the leap...It's a big step... Changing your life so late in life.. It's scary.& when he did finally leave his wife... The way he was crying...I don't know... Didn't sit well with me...I mean... Me being the other women waiting for my "married" man to come to me & when he finally does... Him crying like that.. Wouldn't make me feel good...I would want him to be sure of his decision. If he's that conflicted with his feelings...I would always feel like I forced him to make that decision. I would have that guilt.Olivia...Oh boy...She gave up 2 great relationships for Oliver. Ultimately giving up everything in her life for him...Kids...marriage...having a life!I felt they both chased each other. But I feel she made more of the effort. Whenever Oliver showed up.. She dropped everything. I hated that.Well... We all know how their story ends... So at least she was happy at the end.Hope...Hmmm...We really don't know a lot about her.Just that she shows up & shakes Morgan's world.Making him sad really!...lolUghh...Emma!As you can see.. I'm invested in Morgan Parker's books!!& I'm looking forward to the next book. I'm thinking maybe Hope's story or more on Morgan & Emma??I Can't wait...** received an ARC for an honest review**-MichelleWe Like It Big Book Blog
