“my heart is crushed yet repaired at the same time”
How do I feel when my heart is crushed yet repaired at the same time? That’s how I felt throughout reading Will They or Won’t They?" It’s such an angsty second-chance romance with a messy past and these messy characters.
Let’s start at the beginning. Will They or Won’t They starts off with Lilah and Shane reuniting again after not seeing each other for several years. And it’s not great between them. They have a history with each other. It’s messy and raw between them. And I am loving every second of it. If I am going to read about a second chance romance, then it needs to be full of emotions. The more angsty it is, the better the redemption. That’s my motto for a second-chance romance book.
But let’s get back on track. Lilah and Shane may not have seen each other, but they still have feelings for each other, even though they hate each other at the moment. We don’t get the full reasons for their breakup in the beginning, but we surely will when they start having therapy sessions. It may be inconvenient for them because they can’t stand each other in the same room, but it’s necessary since they have a full TV season to film.
These therapy sessions between them are the perfect tools for them. They have so much built up between them that they can finally express all of their feelings. It may not be pleasant at the time, but it’s necessary. Nothing is white or black in a relationship. There is always some miscommunication that can create resentment or fallout in relationships. And that’s what Lilah and Shane are going to realize as they progress into their therapy sessions, aka their pasts.
I will say that their past is messy. Like really messy. But that’s expected between them when you start a relationship when you are younger and work together. That will create a lot of miscommunication and tension in any relationship. It’s a good thing they have therapy. But expect a lot of tears, frustrations, and happiness while you journey with them as they revisit their past together in their therapy sessions. I know that I did.
