The Way We Weren’t

An unlikely friendship, the beach, some sea turtle hatchlings, and a whole lot of feels.

You trying to kill yourself, or are you just stupid?

Now there is a line. Most people start conversations a little differently but hey, one must give Herman/Flint props for getting straight to the point. He also goes out on a limb and lets a woman he doesn’t know who is in need, stay at his home. Now who is the stupid one? Well, as it turns out not Flint!

Marcie Malone decides one day that she needs to leave her life behind and drive from Georgia to Florida, goes to the beach and wakes up in Flint’s home. After you leave your world behind, why not stay with a grumpy stranger???? Bad decision or smart thinking?!? Now she is staying with Flint, and she just must make sure to stay out of his way…

You just know when a younger woman meets a grumpy older man that it is going to be good! This is! This is so good. It was a pleasure to read and sigh as you watch these two totally different people find out that they might have more in common than they initially thought. I enjoyed reading as they found a way to not only become friends but heal as well.

As I mentioned, this book has all the feels and readers will feel many emotions while reading this. The two main characters were an instant hit with me. But, if I am being honest, Flint stole the show for me.

Thank you to Berkley Publishing Group and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
