Say you’ll stay by sarah J Brooks
“I miss you, Meg. I’ve missed you for the past ten years. Haven’t you missed me?”
The man who broke my heart ten years ago is back in our small town.
Adam Ducate. My best friend since birth.
His gorgeous blue eyes made him the object of every girl’s fantasy in our entire school.
But it wasn’t just his perfect looks.
He read biographies on the US presidents for fun.
He could count to 100 in seven different languages.
He liked George Romero movies and could recite all the dialogue from Day of the Dead.
In short, Adam was everything every other boy in our grade wasn’t.
So I took the risk and confessed my feelings to him.
Of course, it all crashed and burned in extraordinary fashion.
It crushed my heart when he left my life without a word and married Chelsea instead.
The biggest b*tch ever.
But now he’s back.
And as much as I want to ignore the butterflies in my stomach, I can’t.
They say second chances don’t come around often. But can I trust that Adam will stay with me this time – or will our past keep me running?
I give this book 2 stars
I was looking forward to reading this because I like the angst theme when it comes to reading books knowing that there will be a HEA but this story I didn’t find closure and I did not like the beginning that put me off big time. The H Adam I thought was spineless, gullible and cuckolded, he wanted a family with his wife despite knowing that she was cheating on him and he was still sleeping with her even though he was divorcing her. The h Meg I wished she was stronger when it came to Adam but instead she became anxious. I also would have liked to have seen Meg move on throughout the years and be in a relationship and I would also liked to have seen them built up their friendship again rather than have them jumping into bed from the minute they practically first see each other again. Adam I didn’t like was blaming his younger self but I think surely his younger self would have seen the way Chelsea badly treat Meg seeing as they were best friends and claiming that even though he got married to Chelsea he was in love with Meg, that did not make sense and he had second thoughts about marrying her but he still did. I also didn’t like that he believed Chelsea’s lies about Meg when they were in high school and I didn’t see any chemistry between Adam and Meg I felt there was too much bitterness in her. I also thought that when Adam told Meg about Chelsea suggested counselling instead of getting divorced I thought he would agree because his character hadn’t changed throughout the book. The ending did have a hea but in a way I was hoping Meg would pack up and move to New York again and get Adam to follow her but instead she moved into what was his and Chelsea’s home. I would have liked to have seen them move into a new home to show that’s it’s a fresh new start for them both.
