This is a companion novella to The Life You've Imagined, but it can be read as a standalone. It is a sweet short story that will leave readers wanting just a little bit more. I don't usually like affair storylines, but this one is not too bad.

It has been five years since the book The Life You've Imagined and we are revisiting the characters to see where they are right now and when Anna returns home the past will come back up to the surface. It was great to revisit these characters after some time had elapsed - I liked this concept.

Anna returns to her hometown for her mother's wedding and of course she will run into those she left when she returned to Chicago to start her own law firm. The person she would like to try to avoid keeps popping up in all the places - Will Becker. Will is going through his own stuff as his wife and him have separated and are trying to co parent their two young children and navigate this new life predicament.

This sequel was a bit shorter than the first book, but I was so thankful for the sneak peek back into these characters lives that the book length didn't affect my enjoyment one bit.

I would absolutely suggest at starting at the first book in the series and then enjoy this little mini sequel.
