Tate cheated on BEN, therefore she's a cheater. I didn't dislike your other books, I said that this one ruined the other ones for me. I'm glad you're happy with your auto bio and I get that young love is shitty but I thought this was a fictional story. Guess I was wrong right?

(view spoiler)[Hi, JessicaReads
I can definitely understand where you're coming from.
However, Tate says that she and Ben hadn't committed to seeing only each other, which meant they weren't exclusive when Jared came back to town. It hadn't gotten serious yet and certainly not intimate. I understand how you may see this as "cheating", but I don't. Tate is a wonderful, young woman who tried to move on, but found herself still in love with her first love. I think this is very understandable and very relate-able. This is indeed a fictional story but not fantasy. It has the struggles of a real life story but with grand gestures and a HEA which aren't often found in real life.
Thank you for reading, and again, I'm truly sorry you didn't enjoy the conclusion. I wrote it with the best of intentions and certainly wanted everyone to love it. <3 (hide spoiler)]
