Book Description:
Jacey Lange has everything she has ever wanted. She is newly engaged, and her menswear line is one of the fastest-growing in the country. Beautiful, successful, and deeply in love, Jacey feels like she’s on top of the world.
That is, until she catches her fiance in bed with her assistant.
Everything around her comes crashing down.
Thankfully, her best friend, Leon, welcomes her back to her old apartment with open arms. The people in Jacey’s life watch for months as she wallows in her misery, until Leon hatches a plan: if Jacey agrees to get herself back out there and promises to go out with the next five guys that ask her, no matter who they are, then not only will he give her the master bedroom in the apartment, but both Leon and Jacey’s sister, Elise, will agree to stop meddling in her love life.
In rapid succession, Jacey finds herself falling for five completely different men. Yet despite all their differences, there is something oddly familiar about each one. When she finds out why, it won’t just change the way she feels about love, it will make her question everything she once thought was real.
My Thoughts
The book dives right into the drama and gets you invested. I had mixed feelings about Jacey, but I warmed up to her for the most part quickly. I loved her best friend, Leon right from the start. I appreciated how distinctive each of the characters were, so there was no mixing anyone up. I can’t talk too much about them due to the nature of the book or I risk spoilers.
There is some “other woman” drama, but at least it’s pretty short lived. There was heartbreak and confusion, partly because Jacey was fickle at times. I wish people would let themselves follow their hearts instead of self sabotaging their lives. I suppose that’s human nature though.
The plot kept me guessing as every time I came up with a theory, it was dashed shortly thereafter. It wasn’t until secrets were revealed that I decided on a theory that I had never even considered earlier. I’m definitely intrigued to read more after a cliff hanger ending and several unanswered questions.
Ultimately, this book kept me curious all the way through as I was pleasantly surprised to find I was led somewhere completely different than I was expecting.
