MY REVIEW
Well, warning: this book is intense. The Day We Met by Roxie Cooper is a fairly lengthy novel, but I was really drawn to both Stephanie and Jamie and their … truly epic love story. Both are with other people when they meet, fairly happy and content in life, but their connection could only be described as – meeting your soul mate. Through the next ten years, they meet at least once a year, trying to forget about their real life, their spouses, even their children in time, when they have their weekend together.
It’s interesting to read a book where you’re rooting for two people having an affair to be together, but it’s so well-written and we really are able to see the connection between Stephanie and Jamie, as well the disconnect they have with their partners. I was really invested throughout the entire story, even though it was long. The ending though … I honestly did not see coming and I’m still a bit unsure how I feel. This book will get extremely emotional so have some tissues nearby when reading.
