With "A Broken Love Story" on the cover, one should expect spoilers, but I will do my best."I hate you as much as I loved you."This quote sums up this book for me so well. I loved to hate the characters, cheating is ugly. It happens in life, but is still ugly. There are never any true winners. The emotions flowing through everyone was intense.Cathy was a ball of confusion. Get a clue girl. Mental issues or not, we all saw it coming. You did too, you just didn't want to admit it.Ben is perfection. There need to be more of him in the world. Doormat, denial or just blinded by love, he was still awesome. The forgiveness is something I could never wrap my head around, but I admire him for it. I am Team Ben All.The.Way.Arsen is a weakness. That small piece of "what if" that women need to dream about and not act upon. The fleeting moment that makes you feel so wanted and beautiful pushing you to leap, just to land on your face riddled with guilt. Some lines can never be uncrossed. Arsen lived up to his name as the "arsonist" of the story, setting everything on fire from the sheets to a loving marriage.I cannot say I was totally on board with the "Happily Ever After" since I thought he deserved better, but if he can move on so can I. Though I did like the pain in other gentleman's outcome knowing what he could have had, but also knowing why he gave it up. Makes you truly look at your own life and appreciate what you have. In the end, love is all you need.Life lesson learned. Fabulous and emotional read.
