Binge by Jennifer Foor



Synopsis:
Flynn & Aria Roberts have had plenty of ups and downs during their seven year marriage. Everyone warned them not to wed so young - that they'd be missing out on the key years when people grow from young adults to mature individuals.


The only thing holding them
together now is their
love for each other,
and even that is becoming questionable.
To save the marriage, and the family they've already started, Flynn and Aria come up with an unconventional solution to help them find what's missing in their relationship.


The only problem is doing so involves rediscovering themselves completely, even if it requires them to be unfaithful.
Can a marriage survive
when vows are broken, or will chance encounters prove they've been missing out all-along?


Fulfill your
deepest Desires
Give in to
Temptation

While still a blubbering mess, I picked up the phone and dialed Flynn’s number. I needed to hear his voice.
He sounded groggy. “Hello?”
It’s me.” My voice was low to hide my emotions.
Are you crying?”
It was easier to lie. “No, I’m fine.”
Aria, you can’t hide that from me. Tell me what’s wrong.”
There is something wrong with me, Flynn. I’m confused all the time. I keep making one bad decision after another. Maybe I deserve to be alone. Maybe you should have left a long time ago.”
I stayed because I love you. I might have a shitty way of showing it, but I’ve love you for as long as I can remember. That’s never going to change, even if we’re not together.”
I sobbed on my end of the phone. It was so clear that Flynn was tired of my head games. “I’m so sorry for my part in this.”
I deserved most of it I suppose. It’s not like I’m perfect. I made mistakes I wish I could take back; mistakes that hurt you beyond belief. I’d do anything to erase the things from your memory, though we both know it’s not possible. I keep thinking about everything, wondering the exact moment when everything went to shit. I talk to Dr. Ellis about this yesterday. She said…”
Wait. What did you say? You talked to Dr. Ellis yesterday? Was it over the phone?” It was the weekend. She didn’t have office hours. Were my fears about them being together confirmed?
No, I saw her. She was at the same place I was staying. She showed up yesterday and we went out to dinner.”
I couldn’t hear anymore of this. “I thought we were having a good conversation. I thought it was progress. The truth is you’re never going to change. This call was a mistake, but at least it’s proven you can never be trusted.”
Aria, wait…”

I hung up and turned my phone off so he couldn’t call me back. Determined to leave the house before he could show up and tell me more lies, I started getting ready for the big event. Now more than ever I wanted to rid myself of the hole he’d left in my heart. I was going to go through with my plans, and even guilt wasn’t going to stop me.


Where to start? I had so many conflicting emotions while reading this book sad, mad, frustrated and even some thigh clinching moments.

Aria and Flynn have a toxic relationship. They have tons of problems and neither is sure how to work on them. Instead of communicating they scream and yell and erode the marriage even further. I have to admit I was not rooting for these two for a large part of the book. I couldn't understand why they kept subjecting themselves to all the punishment. They would do and say things to intentionally hurt the other but then declare their love for one another. It was a train wreck! So why then did I give it 4 stars? It was real. In life there are problems and they can't always be fixed easily. Once you let the problems go on for so long, it becomes the norm. You aren't happy but you aren't ready to let go just yet. Aria and Flynn knew they loved each other but it was easier to blame the other and hope for them to change. They say its always darkest before dawn and boy did it get dark. They both had to let go to see what they had was worth fighting for. In the end I was pulling for them to get their crap together.

If you want hearts, flowers and swoon worthy moments this book may not be for you. If you want a messy, real life read..... warts and all, you'll find it inside these pages.

I received this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
