4 Star Review: Say You Love Me Again by Carrie Aarons






Who wouldn’t jump at the chance to spend a few months on a concert tour traveling the country? Did I mention that the famous musician headlining it is the ex-husband who walked out on you?

When I met Levi Truin, we were young, rich, famous, and beautiful. Nothing could go wrong, we had the world at our fingertips. Except millions of dollars, marriage and a baby all before twenty two isn’t all fun and games. And when my indiscretion caused it to come crashing down, we were just another Hollywood couple on the cutting room floor.

Seven years later, Levi and I are the poster-children for exemplary co-parenting. Attending red carpet events in support of each other, Sunday night dinners for the sake of our daughter, and her private school functions where we save seats and make polite conversation. The articles paint us in the healthiest of lights, because none of them know the truth.

So when he wants to take our daughter on tour, I have a decision to make. Let her traipse around venues with a nanny, or tag along and somehow survive sleeping in a bunk below my ex for months.

We go on the road, taking our demons and heartbreaks with us. And as we spend nights together with the highway lights flashing past the windows, that familiar spark reignites. Old hurts are discussed, wounds I guard tight are exposed, and my ex-husband makes confessions I’ve been waiting years for. Against all odds, he might just be able to love me again.

But then the dirty details of our long ago breakup get leaked to the press, and the newly fledgling relationship might be doomed from the start.

Lies, silence, and miscommunication are the things that ripped us apart. Can we push past our scars to reunite our family after everything we’ve been through?

My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. 

I've always been a fan of second chance romances and this is an excellent one. I don't think that I've read many books with this trope where the main characters were once married, but I am definitely a fan. 

Levi and Sophie are both very famous and in the public eye pretty much all the time. Despite that fact, they have managed to live a somewhat normal life and they are excellent at co-parenting. When Levi goes on tour, the co-parenting gets put to the test in ways they never thought possible. 

I loved Levi and Sophie. It was very obvious that they still loved each other, but they had a lot of stuff to work through. Them being on the road and living in close quarters was probably the best thing that could have happened. It basically forced them to do all the talking they never did while they were married. 

This book is an emotional one that tackles a subject (CW - postpartum depression) that I can't remember reading about in other books. It plays a big part in the plot and I applaud the author for not only including it, but for handling it in the way she did. Well done Carrie!



About the Author

Author of romance novels such as Fool Me Twice and Love at First Fight, Carrie Aarons writes books that are just as swoon-worthy as they are sarcastic. A former journalist, she prefers the love stories of her imagination, and the athleisure dress code, much better.

When she isn't writing, Carrie is busy binging reality TV, having a love/hate relationship with cardio, and trying not to burn dinner. She lives in the suburbs of New Jersey with her husband, two children and ninety-pound rescue pup.
