11. I have a teenager so I get the teen angst but I found myself getting so frustrated with Clara. And I’m the end I’m not sure I completely got over my frustration with her.

I’m feeling guilt over this if you can’t tell. – E Beagle

33. “I think that’s the problem. Teenagers think their parents should have it all figured out, but the truth is, adults don’t really know how to navigate life any better than teenagers do. Your father made some big mistakes, but the things he did wrong in his life shouldn’t discredit all the things he did right. Same goes for your aunt Jenny.” 1)Do you agree? Don’t adults know how to navigate life better than teenagers? 2)And would you, being in Morgan’s shoes, be able to say one should not discredit all the things her husband did right? – B Basse

REVIEWS

Megan Phillips ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I loved the two story lines and the two love stories, I loved that Morgan was able to get a second chance at love and be loved by someone like Jonah. I have a man like Jonah in my life, my second chance ❤️ I hated how Clara treated her mom. I hated that Morgan didn't tell Clara the truth for so long but I'm so glad that she did and that Clara was able to understand everything that happened. She was trying to be very understanding after she found out and I give her credit for that ❤️

​

Mette L. Christensen I gave it ⭐⭐⭐ 1/2 stars. I was over the moon for most part of the book. I absolutely loved Miller and what I knew of Jonah, I liked, too. I just didn't get to know him enough. I liked the mother/daughter relationship seen from different points of view. It was interestingly written. But somewhere along the way the book started to lose its pace and became repetetive. The inner monologues of especially Morgan started to bore me and I actually started only skimming the pages. And I didn't care too much for Clara and her actions.
