Jensen is actually mad that Mia burned the love letters he wrote her while he was literally married to another woman because they were pieces of himself and he needed help putting himself back together? WHAT? You don’t get to do that, Jensen.

Jensen’s newspaper column about his relationship with Mia is so weird! Who thought this was a good idea? Her parents read that column and he’s just going on about how they went out for dinner and had sex and whatever.

Jensen keeps trying to make Mia feel guilty about her past! Like, you literally impregnated a girl and then married her and you’re mad that your ex dated other guys while you were married with a child.

The characters say it was addressed, but unless I missed it, there was like one half-hearted conversation in which Jensen basically just says, “Um, we were on a break so I’m not really sure why you’re mad.”

I honestly feel like the big conflict of Torn Hearts - the baby with another woman - was never really addressed.

Also, Jensen can somehow afford a two-story house with a two car garage IN BROOKLYN as a freelance journalist? How do I get his job? Why wouldn’t you just drive all the way there? I don’t understand.

I don’t think the author knows anything about NYC? Mia and Jensen take a quick motorcycle ride from Hell’s Kitchen (Manhattan) to DUMBO (Brooklyn) only to turn around and take the subway to Coney Island (also Brooklyn).

Jensen really went and wrote a series of children’s books about Mia? This would be cute if he didn’t cheat on her and marry the other woman.Let me talk about a few of the things I disliked: It was more like frequent eye rolls, heavy sighs, and setting the book down every three or four pages because I just could not take any more of its nonsense. I was skeptical, to say the least, and wished (not for the first time) that I wasn’t doing this stupid reading challenge that forces me to finish terrible books from my TBR. If you recall from my review of Torn Hearts, I really was not looking forward to Paper Hearts.

And this time I’m going to do everything in my power to never let her go. But here she is, years later, forced to work with me, reminding me why I fell in love with her in the first place. I was never supposed to fall in love with her.
