Review: 

*I was given this book for an honest review.* 

          I really enjoyed this book. It was a great middle book for in between the two stories. It wasn't too much of a cliffhanger, but it was enough to make you look forward to the next book. And I must say that after reading the first two books, I can not wait to read the next one.  I still really loved Ruby and Brent as characters. I feel like it was a realistic story about two people who hit a hard road and made choices that hurt, but were probably for the best at the time. I love that you can still feel the love between them and you can also feel the pain, but maybe now, after some maturing, they are ready to work through the hurt and be together. I love this book because it doesn't create this almighty love story where love conquers all immediately. Sometimes it takes work, distance, and growing up to deal with what happens at such a young age. 

         I enjoyed how the story was written with the back and forth between past and present. It made me eager to continue reading and see what happened next. My only issue is that sometimes it moved a little slow and left some gaps about what Ruby did over the past five years. We know she is just now finishing school, but there is missing info. However, we did learn what Brent had been doing while they were apart. 

         Overall, I really liked this book. It was a good follow up from the first book and foreshadowing into the next book. Sometimes when a series comes out it is all over in the first book and then just drags on aimlessly forever in the following books. This one didn't feel like that at all. I can't wait for the third book to come out and hopefully I will be able to review that book also .... ;)
