I dont even know where to begin with this one. Sucked right in and rode the roller coaster with gabby and elliott the entire read. Jane Green does not disappoint.

This is a story about how mistakes can be made in a family, and all can work out. It gives a sense of hope when mistakes are made, it was a healing process, it was gut wrenching, with a few twist along the way. Tempting Fate was well written, but I just did not connect with the characters, there was nothing redeeming or dimensional about them. 3/5 ♦️

Just finished Tempting Fate by Jane Green - got to admit the first 30 pages or so were slow and I wasn't sure it was for me BUT HOW WRONG WAS I! Honestly couldn't put it down I finished it in 4 days between my work hours and now I'm actually sad it's over! A wonderful, heartbreaking yet devastatingly lovely book about families, love, heartbreak, forgiveness... 10/10 from me!

New audiobook to listen to while walking #Bitsy. I've wanted to read this book since reading this blog post a while back: http://www.shereads.org/forty-something-woman-risk-affair-guest-post-jane-green/ Words of wisdom from it: "A good marriage requires work. It is a test of endurance, that is filled with joys, and laughter, tears, and worries, and often pain. If you stick with it, the joys will always outweigh the pain."

A book that makes you realize, "we're all human!!" And to err is, in fact, part of being human. It was good for what it was, if not a bit tedious.

So I pretty much love Jane Green anyway because she has a way of writing that is so relatable. This book hit home in 1,000,001 ways and I think that's probably true for most of its readers.
