Just Exes by Charity Ferrell – Review by Shannon Fowler

Just Exes by Charity Ferrell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Maybe that’s when you know your love for someone is real. You’d gladly take every ounce of their pain and lift it onto your shoulders. You’d rather be the one to suffer, the one taking each stab to the heart, than watch them hurt. Loving someone means their pain is your pain, and you’re there to carry them when they’re down.”

Charity Ferrell surprises me every time I read one of her books. She has written a story with twists that you just don’t see coming. A story that wraps you up and keeps you turning the pages.
Lauren is the female main character who is funny, strong and seems a little down on her luck, at least in the beginning. She is tough and loves hard. She thinks of others and wears her feelings on her sleeve. Gage is the male main character who is also funny, tough and loves hard. And he’s holding a grudge. Lauren broke Gage’s heart just after they graduated high school and the way Ferrell writes, we feel every ache.

I love this second chance story. I love the secrets they have been kept but the consequences from those secrets ripped me open. This story had some major heartache! Luckily Ferrell likes happily ever afters as much as I do!

This story wasn’t all doom and gloom, there were time when I actually laughed out loud. The situation with the Sierra is hilarious:

“I’ve never wanted to tackle someone so hard in my life.”

Another highly recommended story.
