Bree has a loving husband, a beautiful home, and great friends, but something is missing. She's twenty-one years old and feels no purpose in her life. Her husband Jude tries, but Bree is convinced he's no longer listening to her. Despite being surrounded by others who love her, she can only struggle to figure out what went wrong and why she doesn't seem to love her life as much anymore. Her affections become twisted and Bree can't seem to find her footing as a tragedy takes away everything. She's desperate to find out how to fix the life she has and figure out what's important before everything else is ruined.This book definitely had a different tone than the first two books in the series. I wasn't sure I could like Bree at first and at times I wanted to scream at her for being stupid. Sidelined takes the reader on an emotional journey of life after the beautiful wedding day and how finding ourselves can't be something we rely on others for. We have to know what we want and who we love. I loved all of the characters and became so attached to them. I stayed up late because I couldn't put the book down until I reached the last page, and then I wanted it to keep going. There were moments of humor and parts that ripped out my heart. I ugly cried at the end, but it was a good ending. Sidelined makes us think about those around us - how we love them and how they love us. A wonderful book!
