This Time Around by Jane Suen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Katie made a choice when she was 18 that would change her life forever. She was madly in love with Chase and he her. However, Katie desired the city life, the big career, and all that comes with it. She made her choice but for the past ten years has wondered what might have been. When an invitation to attend a wedding in her hometown arrives, Katie isn’t sure she’ll go to the wedding, but she’ll go home to visit her mom and sister. Afterall, she wasn’t there for her dad and she regrets that too! Now that her mom is becoming more frail, it’s a great excuse to get away for the weekend.

Katie’s boss is a real piece of work! She is extremely demanding of Katie’s time and this is the first chance she’s had to get away. After a day with her sister preparing for the wedding that she’s now suckered into attending, she realizes just how much she’s missed life. Can she be the plus one to Chase at this wedding though? It’s been ten long, arduous years.

I was able to read this entire story in about two hours time. I couldn’t put it down! This is a new-to-me author but one that I will be looking for more of her work! I loved the characters and could identify with Katie on the level of being a workaholic. It’s a good thing when you can finally walk away from that life!
