God, I don't even know where to begin with this book. Just WOW. So far, this has been my favorite read in the last year. While some people will frown upon the cheating aspect of the story, I get it... I really do.How? Because the book was well written, and full of emotion. Mia Asher is a true poet when it comes to writing from the heart. I literally found myself re-reading paragraphs and/or entire pages over again because they were so beautifully written.As I read the book, I put myself into each character's position and thought about their points of view.Cathy needed someone who wouldn't placate her and someone to be there for her the way she needed them to be.Ben could not do that. He was a great character, and although he shared the same losses with Cathy, he truly did not feel the way she did. He thought he was doing right by her, by staying positive about their situation, when really, he needed to just lay down and cry with her. He needed to let her grieve the way she needed to, and she tried on several occasions to get this from him, but he just didn't GET IT. His way to deal with their situation was to try and stay positive.That was exactly the opposite of what Cathy needed. She needed someone to scream with, to cry with, and to grieve with.Enter Arsen.. He helped her through the worst part of her life by letting her be who she needed to be, and he gave her that outlet that she so desperately needed from her husband and didn't get. He was her release from the pain and suffering she'd endured with her losses.I loved all three characters, and in the end, I really do feel that Cathy ended up with the right person. I recommend this book to everyone who asks me for recommendations.
