This was one of the hardest book I have ever read First time I don t know how to rate what I ve read Deeply emotional but also damned frustrating I loved the hero Donnie, he was the shining star in this story, but absolutely hated heroine Eddie and didn t have an ounce sympathy toward their friend Beth Have to think hard before I write my review.Full review to come

4.5 stars short quick review Wow, what an angsty and emotional ride This book sucked me in and didn t let me go until it was over This is the story of Edie who left her family for two years, and finally makes the brave decision to come back Edie fights to be a part of the lives of her husband and three children trying to explain why she left but also consumed with fear of her husband hating her even for it.All I m really going to say is if you need a heartbreaking novel with lots of angst this [...]

4.5 Rip your heart out Angsty Stars There s books out there that, just from reading the book blurb, you re pretty sure the book is going to elicit some big emotions This is the kind of book you venture into not looking for the happy hearts and flowers romance with the warm tug in your heartstrings It s instead the kind of book that tugs at your heart in the emotionally painful, angsty kind of way This is what My Biggest Mistake was for meEdie and Donovan had been married for six years, very youn [...]

4.5 Stars Wow, what an emotional and thought provoking read I devoured this book in one sitting, and although I felt quite melancholy throughout, the beautiful and uplifting moments completely made up for it.Edie married her childhood sweetheart, she had a beautiful home and 3 small children by the time she was 23 But one day she walked out on her family and for two years they didn t hear one word from the woman who was their whole world.This story tells of the devastating effects of post partum [...]

3.5 sI definitely chose this book because of all the angst everyone has been talking about The topic of a mother abandoning her family was not something I d read about before and I was really curious However, I have to tell you that even for me, this was over the top Edie s been through a lot and she did it on her own without any support and really without any professional help There s just no way to imagine what all she went through She was determined to come home and make things right with her [...]

This book hurt me bunches and bunches and and I wanted to stop reading at several points but I needed to know how this book was going to end Thankfully I m happy with the beautiful epilogue It s hard to review a book like this where the writing was so amazing and vivid but the enjoyment factor from the words made me need to chug a bottle of maalox with a chaser of Xanax and tums I will be thinking about this book for some time I just know it Because it s real It happens One thing I will take a [...]

Ugh this book was not my cup of tea at all It wasn t the subject matter I had a problem with, it was how it was written and how it unfolded I knew what I was getting into when I picked this book up It s clearly stated in the blurb that it s about what happens when a mother comes home after having left her husband and children behind for years What continued to grate on my nerves was how EASY the characters had it Yes, there are a few confrontations and tears and mean words, but really, the main [...]

Truly one of the best emotional books I have read in a long time

4 stars It took me four days after reading this book to get my thoughts in order This one stayed with me and haunted my thoughts days after I read it I can t say that about very many books Usually you read about the man leaving the woman and kid s behind, but in this one the tables were turned This time it was the wife who left her loving husband I freaking LOVED him and 3 small children behind I HATED Edie at first because not many details were given about her sudden need to leave her family be [...]

I would have finished this sooner if life wasn t so hectic This story caught my attention for so many reasons Going into it, I thought Edie left it all behind to recapture her youth and the fun she missed out on by getting married so early in life and having children at a young age This novel is definitely not that at all.My Biggest Mistake tackles serious subjects like post pardum depression and the stress of marriage I feel Leddy Harper did a good job of laying out the facts from Edie s and Do [...]

This is a truly beautiful and emotional story I thought the author did a great job of portraying the characters as real I loved that the storyline wasn t far fetched, that what happened in the story could easily happen in real life This is the raw emotional story of Edie, a wife and a mum dealing with depression I struggled with depression for years so Edies story really touched my heart I found myself reading this until early one morning Luckily I didn t have to get up early the next day so I s [...]

Ahhhhh THIS BOOK WAS INCREDIBLE Absolutely incredible Easily a favorite of this year I have lots of highlights I plan to add That hero Utter perfection for me.

After reading all the glowing reviews, I think I picked up the Punked version of this story First off, I was super excited to start this baby, the whole premise sounded perfect Angst, angst, and angst It had so much potential A mother who fucked up her life, and now wants to work her ass off to make it right and get her family back.Well, first off, Edie didn t feel genuine at all Then she marches back and makes demands to see her children, as if she deserved the right, sheds a few tears, boobs [...]

4.5 stars

This is a great 5 star book peeps,especially if you are in the market for the feels,and possible depletion of your kleenex accumulation.Grabbed my attention right from the first few lines and that is what I want.I couldn t put this down for long and when I did,I was wondering what was taking place in the characters lives,as though they lived down the street.I hurt for all involved,I was bitter,angry,sympathetic,shockedyou name it.Edie may come across as a weak character to some,because of the ch [...]

Kind of spoiler ish, but it s in the blurbFor my understanding this lady decided to leave her husband and 3 kids because she wasn t happy, or satisfied or she was depressed or whatever to find herself And she left a letter to her husband a noble act Insert sarcasm here so when he came home one day he saw himself alone with 3 kids WOW What a story line the originality of it makes me breathless a dose of cynicism here So years later she came back to fight for her family because SHE WAS ready Well, [...]

Once I started this book I could not put it down I was entranced by this authors words and never wanted to stop reading this book This story was gripping, it was REAL, it was raw, and at times painful It made me think a lot I switched feelings many times through my read I felt for the heroine but at times I hated her I went through so many different emotions and to me that is what makes a great read This was than a 5 star read for me and will stay with me for a long time Bravo to Ms Harper for [...]

I m sitting here emotionally drained I stayed up all night getting to 77% I had to put it down because I had to go to work The feels the heartbreaking moments sighs The author took me on this journey It grabbed a hold of me wouldn t let go Mrs Harper, you have a gift This beautiful heart wrenching book is proof of it I loved hated every dang minute of it By far one of my favorite books this year

4.5 stars

OH MY GOD I don t think I ve ever loved a hero so much, while hating the heroine even view spoiler I mean, when Eddie starting yelling at Beth that she was a bitch at the 80% mark, I thought I was going to throw my kindle out the window Beth took care of your husband and your kids when you ran away, so face your mistakes with humility instead of blaming everyone around you for it hide spoiler
