This is not my favorite, but it was still an interesting read. I feel like this one could have been a movie. Overall, I enjoyed it for what it was.

This started off very strong but just took some turns that lost my interest. Too many characters were thrown in and other side stories.

I loved the first book and immediately wanted to move into this one. I was struggling from the beginning with this one though. I am now around 40% and I am still struggling to get into this one. Sadly, I am making the decision to DNF

This was such a quick read and great to round out my reading month.
This does deal with some substance abuse, abuse of a minor, mental health, and more. Please check triggers.

The story was faced paced and kept moving which I loved. I would have liked to go a little deeper with our main characters. I felt more drawn to their emotional connection when they were teens than when they reunite.

Overall, this was great for what I needed right now.

This is my second attempt with this one and it was just not for me. It never took me where I wanted it to take me and I just did not feel it brought the emotions as I was expecting.

I really enjoyed this one as I love a good emotional read. I did like one side of the story more than the other though. I also was not a huge fan of how they all come together (it was kinda creepy if you think about it; the mom never questions the attachment to her children from all sense a stranger). Otherwise, this was a good read that did leave tears flowing!

It has been too long since I was in this world. It took me a few minutes starting this one to jump back into the characters. Was this a necessary add on? Not really, but I still enjoyed getting back into the story.

Well, this went in so many different directions than I thought it would when I started it. It also leaves off on a cliff hanger (I probably would not have finished this if I knew this was how it ended-so many questions but I do not feel I will continue on with the series to find out).

I think I would have liked this even more if the time was spread out a little more. So much intensity around the relationship and it all takes place in only a few days. I was annoyed towards the end with how fast it all moved.

Overall, this was ok.

I am not typically one to love stories that start off when the characters are teenagers. However; since I love RY I pushed through this one.

I thought this was just ok. As others mentioned, I feel the story was all over the place at times. There were almost too many side stories taking place. The places that could have been super emotional just moved way too fast and never went deep enough to be that emotional. I just wanted more.

Overall, this was just ok.

I wanted to love this, but it just never got to where I wanted it to be. It was emotional, but the scenes just did not bring the emotion I would want when dealing with the serious issues they were dealing with.

I also just never bought into the relationship. It may have been the female narrator when she was reading in the male voice. It just disconnected it for me for some reason.

Overall, it was good but only ok at the same time.
