My Review
I received this Arc copy in exchange for a honest review.
Wow, I cant tell you how much I absolutely Loved this book. From the beginning I was enthralled. It is the first time I have read a Melanie Dawn book.
Kaitlyn Thomas is a bored and fed up housewife and mum of one. Her Husband ignores her, is always in work and when he is home hes not really there. After much discussing she goes on a girls weekend break.
While she's there she bumps into an old friend, Chris King. This weekend turns out to be more than just a weekend break, its a weekend of discovery and storytelling about how she knows Chris King.
Which path would you take?
This pulled every emotion possible out of me, I cried, I empathised, i broke my heart, I routed for Kaitlyn.
This is the most amazing story, I think so many partners either married or long term relationships can understand and relate to. This book stayed with me long after I read it. I kept thinking what would you of done in Kaitlyn's position?
This book is exceptionally stunning. Its one of my favourite books this year.
Melanie Dawn is an amazing writer, with a talent for pulling you into the story. This book delivers a powerful message and its up to the reader to determine their own message.
I would give this book 5/5 stars and 5/5 for movie moments.
About The Author
Melanie Dawn is a thinker, a dreamer, and a hopeless romantic. When her head isn't in the clouds, she spends her time as a jack of all trades to her family. Melanie resides in the hills of North Carolina with her husband, her three children, and her cat. She enjoys lazy summer afternoons cruising around the lake on the pontoon boat with her family.
Melanie graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with a BA in Psychology and earned her MA in School Counseling from Appalachian State University. She spent the first six years after graduate school as a middle school counselor. Those were years she deems as some of the best years of her life. That is, until she had children of her own. The last seven years have been spent as a stay-at-home mom. She has learned some tough life lessons, like what the inner absorbent pellets of a diaper look like scattered in the washing machine. She has also learned the strength of the willpower of a two year old lacking a nap. Through it all, Melanie has learned how to roll with the punches and appreciate the time she has been able to spend at home with her children.
Now that her last child has started Kindergarten, Melanie is ready to add a new chapter in her life. That chapter begins with her debut novel—So Much It Hurts.
