Synopsis

Josie: Before The MomentThere are ghosts at every corner. In the stolen kisses while I waitressed at the diner, in the town festivals in the square, in the many jokes about Betty Bagley and her pie at the Fall Farmer’s Market, and in countless nights spent watching Clay make drinks with that handsome smile of his plastered on his face while I sat on a stool at the bar. It should all feel familiar and comforting, and yet, it makes it hard for the person I am now to breathe at all. I wish I’d been stronger. I wish I’d been wiser. I wish I didn’t have to do this.I wish. Tonight will be a defining moment for the rest of my life. I have to end it now …… before it ends me. Clay: After The MomentWhen Josie and I said, ‘I do’, I thought it’d be us against the world forever. But I wasn’t expecting the world to be so against us. I know I should’ve stayed that night, and I should have gone back a heck of a lot sooner. Because I don’t know how to be here. I don’t know how to be anywhere. Truth is, I don’t know how to be without Josie at all. She might think we’re done, but I’m going to spend the rest of my life making sure we’re not.

Goodreads review by Casey Reads 🌸 on May 10, 2025

This book goes back and forth from different time periods of Clay and Josie’s relationship. It starts off very insta-love, but then we find out something went wrong and they are no longer together.

What I Should've Said is a book that has stayed with me since the day that I picked it up. I've thought about it daily since I've read it, so when I saw When I Should've Stayed, I was giddy. If you haven't yet, please read What I should've said first. This is the second book that follows Josie and Cl......more

Goodreads review by Delaney on May 16, 2025

I really loved the first book in this series and was super excited to read Clay & Josie’s story. But… It just didn’t work for me. The time jumps were so excessive and jumbled. It was like time travel whiplash over and over again. I understand why it was done, but it really wasn’t organized in a way t......more

Duplicate chapters from book 1 If Josie would have just come clean 5 years ago, she would’ve been living a happy life. I found it hard to believe someone would hold on to their grief for so long and would allow it to impact her happiness as well as someone else’s. I only had to skim through this book......more

Goodreads review by BONNIE on July 02, 2025

I loved the first installment of The Red Bridge Series, so I was tickled to recived the second in the series as an ARC. I dug in and fell head over heels in love with Clay and Josie. We know this couple from the first book, but they were not exactly the stars. The end of What I Should Have Said had m......more
