Kyr and Pollyanna are beginning a new journey. It's not the one either expected but it may end up being just what they need. Kyr wants to be the center of Pollyanna's world. Pollyanna wants someone to love and to be loved in return. There were so many secrets going into this relationship that it's hard to see this ending well. I really wish Marian Tee had combined these stories. The split format ruins the flow of the story.

*received an ARC in exchange for an honest review* Ugh, totally cried. T_T And Kyr wins the Biggest Jerk Award. Expanding on the eight years of marriage between Kyrillos and Pollyanna, the couple learn what it's like to be married. Children, the struggles with staying at home vs working, dealing with hubby's constant need to chain you to his side, and figuring out if you really made a mistake in saying 'I do'. I enjoyed the drama, not so much the heartbreak. Too many feels with this one, mostly because of one's indecision and the other's need to make their partner happy. Perhaps a little too much emotion for such a fast pace story, though the pace was very nice with the highlighted moments. As with all her work, Tee's style of writing pulled me in and made it harder to take the emotional blows that came. I loved the set up and I ADORE the precious children that they had, especially the twins. Despite being so young, I loved what their contributed to the story. It's definitely different from her other books because of the children and the thought of a perfect marriage working on their already waning trust, but what came out of it was something I probably didn't want to know until it happened. It ends on a cliff hanger with the final part coming out five days later so it's not that much of a horror to wait. I loved Pollyanna and seeing the slight changes in her maturity but I look forward to seeing her finding her own voice.
