“The only thing I ever knew for sure about my life was that I wanted you in it,” Tom said. “You’re the planner, Rosie. But you’re my only plan.”

I'm a huge fan of second chance romances and we rarely get to see a second chance book where divorced exes get back together, which is why I was very excited to read this one. I've read books by Katie Shepard before and I enjoyed her writing so I was expecting a lot from this book. The beginning was very enjoyable and I liked Tom & Rosie but these characters were supposed to be in their thirties so I was expecting them to be a lot more mature but both of them were still somewhat childish tbh.

“I spent a decade waiting for you to call me and tell me I could come home. Well, I could have called too, any day before I did. That’s what this is. Come home. I miss you. I love you. I want you in every single one of the days of my life, the good ones and the bad ones. Come home whenever you’re sure. I already am.”

Still, I liked the chemistry between Rosie & Tom and the way he was always so straight forward about his point of getting back together was nice because there was so much miscommunication between them in the past, so it was refreshing to see that Tom was really trying. Overall, I enjoyed reading this book and some instance made me laugh but some side characters except Adrian & Ximena were so annoying. Body was supposed to be this cheeky, Hollywood hot shot and here were some instances where I found him to be funny but other than that, him and Rosie's entire family irritated me so much. Rosie deserved to be treated better by her family and I'm so glad that Tom understood that and made things easy for her in the end. And I really liked the last chapter, it was very cute but the ending felt really abrupt tbh. So it was just an okay read for me.
