About this audiobook
The epic finale in the What He Doesn't Know duet.
Left or right. It’s that simple, and it isn’t simple at all. If I turn left, the road will lead me back to the man I promised my life to, the one I’d imagined building a family with, the one who’s done everything in his power to get me back. If I turn right, the road will take me to the man I loved first, the man who brought me back to life, the man who would do anything to keep me.
I knew the fork in the road was inevitable; it was the decision I never wanted to make between choices I didn't know I had. And I love them both.
My heart is destined to exist in two equal halves — one with each man. But one half beats stronger, the vein running deepest, and holds my choice in silence long before I know it for myself. The realization of what I have to do, of the heart I have to break, just might break mine, too.
Left or right. All I have to do is take a breath and turn.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Holy crap that was emotional! I still don't know which direction I wanted her to go in. I swear I felt her pain...sigh. Letting either one go would have been heartbreaking. I was going to get upset if the baby question hadn't been resolved. I'm so sad for the one she let go in the end. Could we get an alternate ending? I would feel so much better seeing both happy lol.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5“The best man for her isn’t even playing. If he was, neither of us would stand a chance.”
This was the most stressful love triangle I have ever read. I honestly was anxious the whole way through and the worst part is I had no idea who the FMC Charlie was going to choose by the end. I’m gutted and I wouldn’t say it was uncomfortable. I was so unsettled and anxious to be put in a position to choose between the MMCs. Both had pros and cons and I’m still reeling on her choice but I would have been shocked either way it went because my heart hurts for the MMC she didn’t choose. Also, the epilogue is meant to make you feel happy everyone’s moved on. The past is in the past. IM NOT. I'M STILL GUTTED. I hurt for the man she didn’t choose. What a rollercoaster of hurt and stress. Now I really understand the meaning of angst. Don’t get me wrong I love this book but the feelings I felt throughout left me broken. It doesn’t feel like a HEA to me but it was. I’m not okay. My guess would be the third book is based on the MMC she didn’t choose and how he will move on. Fingers crossed as I cannot go through stress like that again. I need a self-care day after this.

TikTok | Instagram | Goodreads | StoryGraph | Everand | Amazon | Audible Reviews ? - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5First books I have read/listened to. Not a fan. The writing was fine but not what I expected from suggestions. Will read from this author again just to see if I change my mind.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very emotional book that left me with a heavy heart in spite of ‘happy ending’. It was a rollercoaster of emotions. There was a point I didn’t like Charlie because she couldn’t make a decision and I got tired of her repetitive depressive thoughts but in the end I could understand her choice. It was angsty book and I enjoyed listening but now I need a break from heartache.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really liked this book. It almost had me crying like Trisha Paytas on her kitchen floor. I thought I knew what was going to happen but I was wrong !
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Was going to give it a one star if she didn't pick the guy I was rooting for. Kept me hooked throughout.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Ok - I know most people like the ending…. But for me she chose the wrong guy & for this reason I couldn’t give it more than a 4. I didn’t like the woman so much I found her to be almost mean to the two men dragging them along - although I enjoyed the book.
Please be *careful not to read what the third book is about* as it will *spoil* the 1st & 2nd books.
The 3 book is a stand alone and takes place after book 1 & 2. However after the ending (which many seemed to have liked) I’m not sure I can read the 3rd book - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved this story, the angst , the love how evolved between the three characters and their characters development. Although I was disappointed with the end it truly was it was the Right choice.now I need KS to write a HEA story forum guy ?
