I didn't expect much from this book to be honest. The synopsis didn't do this book any favors in my mind because it made the book seem like it wouldn't have much substance. I thought that it would be about two kids who attempted to play house, failed at it, and then met again years later and fell into bed even though at least one of them hated the other.
After reading the book, I can now say that I couldn't have been more wrong about the book. It was an interesting take on a second chance romance book. The two main characters are very young and immature when they make an attempt at marriage. It does not end on the best of terms because neither of them were ready to take that step with the other from the start. They were trying to forget their sorrows by using each other although they did care about each other.
It was actually a more complex story than I expected. The only point in the story that was bothersome was the reason why Cecily harbored so much anger over the years towards Branson. There was so much build up until the point where we as the readers find out what the reason is and it doesn't measure up for me. During the flashbacks in the book, it is made clear from both the main characters points of view how each of them felt during the marriage. Cecily's reason for her anger didn't match up with that.
