User Reviews For: Leap Month

I feel bad for the mc. She's completely neglected by her current boyfriend. And then the other guy is just a gaslighting piece of crap trying to take advantage of her vulnerability. I gave it a shot but don't think I'm gonna go back to this after that second chapter. Not worth it.

I'm always fascinated by stories of long term relationships or infidelity. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I think this story is not asking you to like the characters or approve of their actions. It's aiming to be a glimpse at a human situation that many people find themselves in and paint a picture about these characters mindsets. It's one possible answer to “why do people cheat?” I am very curious to see how this will play out. Fact is being with someone for 10 years, living together for 5, it's not so easy to just break up even if you're not happy. Rather than gaslighting as another reviewer put it, I think the new guy is making the main character face some hard truths. And ultimately her best course of action would be good communication with her boyfriend but that wouldn't make for as interesting a plot. Perhaps this will be a cautionary tale...
