I wanted to read this as soon as I saw the gorgeous cover art. Then I found out it was a second chance romance with a couple that had been married. How can it work? I had to know.
I loved this book! Ugh, the feelings, the letters, the mutual pining, the family rooting for them. Swoony.
Wren and Ellis have been divorced for 5 years. Neither has moved on. They have coparented their son the best they could and stayed civil. Now their kid is off to college and both are wishing things were different between them.
Ellis is fighting a forest fire and happens to pick up a box donated by his ex wife with baked goods and a letter. He writes her back anonymously, and they start exchanging letters. They both confess somethings, and when Ellis writes “I still love my wife” it’s heart breaking.
Later Ellis suggests a road trip to drop off their son at college, and to spend time together with Wren. They are open with each other about hoping for more and actually talking about hard stuff. It’s romantic and sweet, sexy, and sad in some parts.
Can be read as a stand alone. We get a cameo of Deacon & Laryn from The Co-op, and lots of Fischer and Sage from Savor It.
