4.5*Review: AFTER WE MET by Evan Grace

 

Title: AFTER WE MET

Author: Evan Grace

Goodreads...

Gorgeous. Sweet. Funny. He made me feel things that I’ve never felt before. In just one short week over Spring Break, I began to fall in love. That is until it all fell apart. Now, here I am, three years later and I’ve moved on, at least that’s what I told myself until he came crashing back into my life. Things have changed. I’ve changed, and there’s something he doesn’t know.

He wants me to give us another chance. I try to fight it, but it’s not long before all of those same old feelings come rushing back. I know he feels it too. I can see it every time he looks at me. I can feel it every time he touches me.

It feels like I’m missing something. Like there’s something that he’s not telling me. Something that has the potential to tear it all apart. After all, it’s not easy when you fall in love with your best friends’ father. I didn’t stand a chance after we met.
 


My take...

My first mistake was reading reviews on goodreads for this book. There are some nasty people over there. And one review was so bad, the reviewer kept calling Damon the wrong name throughout. So why should I take their word that this was a 1 star read? I decided to find out for myself.

Anyhow, I really enjoyed the story. It has the age gap I love so much and the romance was exactly what I love. Sure, Damon gave a lame excuse for his horrible mess up. But fear is terrible thing and makes even the strongest weak sometimes.

I rated this book 4.5 stars, not because of the excuses thrown around, but because of some repetition throughout the story and how the author would go into a bit too much details at time. Other than that, it would have been a solid 5 stars.
