There’s two sides to every love story. The how you fell in love, and the how you fell apart.
This is ours.
The cardinal rule of friendship is you don’t mess with your friend’s sister.
That goes double when she’s his little sister.
It was just supposed to be fun.
She wasn’t supposed to end up being the love of my life.
And I definitely wasn’t supposed to break her heart.
Ainsley is a wedding dress designer. That should’ve been a warning that she’s a hopeless romantic. That should’ve clued me in that she believes love conquers all.
But there are some things that love can’t fix. I’m one of them.
She thinks love is the answer.
But love is the reason I let her go.
A stand-alone, contemporary romance.
Excerpt . . .
But he wasn’t that guy with me. He and I were different. I know he loved me.
I’ve loved that man since I was fifteen years old. How could I not? Forget the abs, the tan skin, those pale, sexy blue eyes. Forget the fact that his voice sends shivers down my spine. The first time we kissed, I felt my whole world shatter and fall into place at the same time.
I tried to pretend to be “that” girl. The kind that can kiss a guy just for fun, screw a man and not imagine a life with him. I tried. I failed. The hopeless romantic in me wasn’t having it.
My heart should’ve known better — but my heart was no match for Rhett Bennett.
When Rhett and I fell apart, I broke up with social media. I have to say, that breakup was a lot easier. No hashtags, no emojis, no memes to post. Some people use social media as their therapist. I’ve seen people post play-by-plays of their divorce, or explain every detail of their latest illness or drama. I probably could’ve attracted a lot more followers if I chronicled the demise of our relationship. It’s the stuff of soap operas.
But instead, I broke it off with Facebook, banned Instagram, and boycotted Twitter.
Today, Facebook and I are having one last romp. Relationship status update: Single.
That’s it. That one little change. I have to start somewhere. Skye’s right about that.
The one part of being single I have embraced is the diet. The single woman diet consists of basically any breakfast food for dinner, coffee, and alcohol. I’ve gotten so good at it, I no longer need a grocery cart when I shop. Quick tip, don’t get a cart at the grocery store, only buy what you can hold. It’s good for the budget and the waistline. Unfortunately, that rule doesn’t work so well at clothing stores.
The story goes back and forth between the past and present. It slowly reveals what happened to Ainsley and Rhett. I enjoyed this writing technique because it teased us with details without revealing everything at once. It compelled me to keeping reading to find out what happened to have drastically changed their lives. At first I thought Rhett pushed Ainlsey away because things got too real for him so imagine my shock when the truth was revealed. I thought I was going to start crying!
Just Love was a heartbreakingly beautiful tale about the lies people tell themselves to protect their hearts. It examines how people focus on the things they’ve lost rather than what they still have and can do. It highlights love and how love is like faith. In order for love to bloom, you need to have faith and trust in it. Without it, love has no possibility to grow. This story was well written and filled with emotion and feeling.
