This book was so intense! reading it as an audiobook sucked because the chick was a slow reader and in those intense moments I was jumping up and down just freaking out! But we all know that reading the book is better then listening to audiobooks.
This story follows Julie, after losing her husband a few years back she's finally ready to get back into the dating thing. After a few failures she meets Richard, a charming handsome man that takes her to the theater and to fancy restaurants. But then there's Mike, her long time friend and her husbands best friend. It should have been simple, she knows who she loves but the one she left behind won't let go. Everything spirals out of control and Julie nearly loses everything but she has her husband watching over her, her guardian by her side through the whole thing, keeping her and the man she loves safe.
I won't spoil the ending, but if you've read this book you know exactly why I can't give it 5 stars.
