Aviva’s Library's Reviews > Letters to Molly

After meeting Molly and Finn in the The Birthday List, I always wanted to read their story even though I’m not a big second chance romance fan — especially when cheating is part of the mix… but I’ve seen a lot of people say that this book is worth making an exception for, so I decided to give it a try anyway… and I’m really happy that I did.

I think this story did what it wanted to do, and it did it very well. There were a lot of different layers and elements at play, and I think it was all woven together really seamlessly. It was one of those books that pulled me in right away and didn’t let me go until the very end. I never felt bored or got the urge to skim… and I was very invested in the whole thing and really wanted to see how they were going to work out all of their issues.

There were still moments in this book that reminded me of why I avoid reading about these topics in general... and even though I think that everything they were dealing with was handled in a very realistic way and I enjoyed it for what it was… I stay away from these stories for a reason and I don’t think this is the start of me trying out more second chance romances — but I’m happy I made an exception for this one and am not going to let my personal hang-ups towards the actual topics of this book bring my rating down… because I knew what I was getting myself into.

So I’m giving it five stars for being a very well written story that kept me itching to keep turning the page - and not having anything about it bother me besides for the actual basis of the plot.
