Publisher's summary

Eden and Josh decide to give their relationship another chance in this much anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestseller The Way I Used to Be that explores how to move forward after trauma—in life and in love.

Eden and Josh never had a fair shot at a healthy relationship. When they dated in high school, they each had their own problems getting in the way of the deep connection they felt toward one another. Unbeknownst to Josh, Eden was carrying the burden of a devastating sexual assault, while Josh was dealing with his own private struggle of having an alcoholic father.

Months after Eden and two other girls publicly accuse their rapist, Eden is starting college while her case goes to trial. Now when she and Josh reconnect, it seems like it might finally be in the right place at the right time for them to make it work. But is their love strong enough to withstand the challenges and chaos of college and the crushing realities of a trial that will determine whether Eden gets the justice she deserves?

Rarely does the sequel top the original…

This was an amazing follow up to TWIUTB! At the end of book one, although I did enjoy it, I had so many questions about why this character did that and why didn’t this situation get explored more. TWIAN answers all of them. The character progression of each individual is written amazingly and a bit more realistic. Book 2 was amazing, and is a must read.

Great sequel!

I loved the growth and development of the characters. This book had me hooked starting with the first chapter and left me hoping for more at the end of the last chapter. A must read for any age.

The way it left me clueless

I feel like it still left the story untold. What happened to Kevin? How did Edyn and Josh end? A lot of unanswered questions.

Great book

Great book. Wondering why we didn’t get to hear the final verdict though. Is there a third book?

Praying there is a 3rd book

They left so much hanging but Eden and Josh have done so much healing as Individuals and as a couple. I’m praying they work out. Seriously never wanted a fictional couple to work out more. Please be a 3rd book. Loved the ending but there’s so many questions unanswered! We need answers amber!!!
