About the Book:
You win some, you lose some.
Back at home with half a college degree after the fiasco of the century sent her packing, it’s safe to say that Renee Nyobé is losing some. She’s a hot mess, and not the cute kind. No, if hot messes had categories, hers would be ‘littering the stairs of the metro station with your sweaty underwear because you were too busy rushing to the job interview you’re already late for to zip up your yoga bag.’
A job—any job—is just what she needs to get her life back on track, and it might as well be at Montreal’s most famous dive bar, Taverne Toulouse.
Dylan Trottard is winning some. As Taverne Toulouse’s new manager, he’s got one rule for himself: don’t screw up. Following that rule gets a lot harder when the woman he’s spent the past three years trying to forget starts working behind the bar.
They were never supposed to want each other, and they sure as hell aren’t supposed to want each other now. She’s the girl that got away before he even had her, and he’s the guy she didn’t think would ever give her a second glance.
Now they can’t keep their eyes off one another, and the stakes are even higher than before. There’s a lot to lose, but as the pull between them gets harder and harder to ignore, Renee and Dylan start asking how much winning is worth.
Glass Half Full is the second book in Katia Rose's Barflies series. A standalone book, we still get glimpses of characters from book 1. Dylan is now manager of the newly remodeled Taverne Toulouse, a Montreal dive bar. He is doing the best he can but finds that his past is always interrupting his present. This is especially the case when Renee Nyobé comes looking for a job at the bar.
Renee Nyobé is just starting to get her life back in order after a trip abroad to attend school ended badly. To assist in the process, Renee has finally reached a point where she feels obtaining employment will help. She walks into a dive bar in Montreal for an interview and comes face-to-face with the guy who stole her heart a few years ago.
The don't want to want each other but as the days pass, both Renee and Dylan realize that the pull between them is so much more than superficial. They realize how important the other was before and increasingly more now. Starting a relationship is risky for many reasons and when the bad part of Dylan's past rears its ugly head, Dylan may just decide to end everything before it's even had a chance to begin.
This book is so emotional. I teared up in several places. As a person who suffers from anxiety (but not to the degree of Renee's character), I empathized and sympathized with the feelings, thoughts, and mannerisms that go along with anxiety. I also felt Dylan's pain as he tried to come to terms with his past and how he felt like he wasn't good enough for Renee.
I was provided a copy of this book to read.
