“a pretty heart-breaking second chance romance read”
I'd never read any of Jane Igharo's books before, so I was pretty excited to read her newest book, Where We End & Begin. Just from reading the book summary, it looks like a pretty heart-breaking second chance romance read. I’m so ready for the angst between the characters.
I’m going to say it now so you won’t be upset when I slip some spoilers into this review. I have to include it in order to explain my complicated feelings about their book. So you are warned right now, there are spoilers going from on now. Avoid reading if you don’t want spoilers. Okay, now let’s talk about my complicated feelings over their book.
I always have problems with second chance romance books. It’s either you forgive the character's mistakes or you can’t get over their ridiculousness. And I don’t know if I can forgive both Dunni and Obinna's behavior. First, Dunni cheated on her now fiance with Obinna. That’s not something I can get over with. It’s so careless to do. I know you have history with each other but it does not mean you have permission to cheat. It’s unfair to the fiance. Such a selfish behavior from Dunni. Second, Obinna's reasoning on why they lost touch and not reaching out is such bullshit. He literally had no excuse. She never cared about being maintained. She only cared about being loved which she wanted from Obinna. His reasoning was no excuses. Third, the big surprise that Dunni had over Obinna was pretty shocking. It came out of nowhere. And it was pretty rushed over toward the end. The excuses Dunni had about not letting Obinna know now were uncalled for. She should have made it known from the beginning.
I have so many problems with them that it makes it hard to like them. I love that they never cared about their status when they were younger. But they as adults now are selfish and careless. They have no regard for other people around them. It’s pretty selfish.
