Unfortunately nobody can have a chance to choose their family. Some parts depressed me so much, I feel and hurt for those young beautiful characters have been going through hell in their personal lives. Wow, this is way of too angsty, heartbreaking, emotional and gripping story for my taste. But when one’s life begins to mend while the other’s spirals out of control, they realize that falling in love while surrounded by its demise means nothing is ever guaranteed.įor sniff, sniff, again four (sniveling noises), okay let’s try again four ( sobbing sounds, this comes from my husband because I told him the plot of the book and he actually started to sob while he was chopping onions for his signature meatballs!), okay FOUR OH GOD I CRIED SO MUCH, THIS BOOK IS REALLY SAD, HEART WRENCHING and I think I’m gonna binge watch “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” and “SNL” episodes to recover from it stars!!! The weekends he dreaded and she endured soon become the best part of their lives. With her divorced parents at each other’s throats and using her as a pawn, no amount of mental reediting will give her the love she’s starving for.įorced to spend every other weekend in the same apartment building, the boy who thinks forgiveness makes him weak and the girl who thinks love is for fools begin an unlikely friendship. As an aspiring director, she should know, because she’s been reimagining her life as a film ever since she was a kid. Jolene Timber’s life is nothing like the movies she loves-not the happy ones anyway. Now his fun-loving mom cries constantly, he and his remaining brother can’t talk without fighting, and the father he always admired proved himself a coward by moving out when they needed him most. Straight As, close friends and a home life so perfect that it could have been a TV show straight out of the 50s. Can life begin again… every other weekend?Īdam Moynihan’s life used to be awesome.
