Publisher's Summary

From USA Today bestselling author Rochelle B. Weinstein comes a moving novel of hearts lost and found, and of one woman torn between two love stories.

When Charlotte and Philip meet, the pair form a deep and instant connection. Soon they’re settled in the Florida Keys with plans to marry. But just as they should be getting closer, Charlotte feels Philip slipping away.

Second-guessing their love is something Charlotte never imagined, but with Philip’s excessive absences, she finds herself yearning for more. When she meets Ben, she ignores the pull, but the supportive single dad is there for her in ways she never knew she desired. Soon Charlotte finds herself torn between the love she thought she wanted and the one she knows she needs.

As a hurricane passes through Islamorada, stunning revelations challenge Charlotte’s loyalties and upend her life. Forced to reexamine the choices she’s made, and has yet to make, Charlotte embarks on an emotional journey of friendship, love, and sacrifice - knowing that forgiveness is a gift, and the best-laid plans can change in a heartbeat.

This Is Not How It Ends is a tender, moving story of heartbreak and healing that asks the question: Which takes more courage - holding on or letting go?

So. Utterly. Boring.

I won't even finish it. I am 5 hours in and it's painful. Absolutely nothing gripping or interesting. Don't waste your credit.

Predictable

Although I do like a good love story now and then I found this book lacked imagination. I knew what was going to happen and I enjoy a surprise. No surprises here.

Not bad

Not my type of book, but not bad. I'm not sold on the performance, sometimes a bit too whiny for me. Again, it's not my genre so to be fair, it's a good book.
