This was even better than the first book. I loved seeing the progress lily makes even if it’s minor so far. And even though Lo wasn’t as present in this one, it felt as though he was still around a lot more than he was. I love the character development for all the characters (including Lily and Lo’s friends and family). It makes me excited to read their own stories as well. And the fact that they’re all supportive of lily and lo’s progress in their own way makes it all so much better. I’m excited get into the third book. I’m loving this series so far.

"I love you,” he says again, “and no other man will ever say those words and mean them the way I do."

Okay. First of all, Loren Hale is everything!!! This book was so good. I loved seeing the progression in Lo and Lily's story and flashbacks of their past. That helped us understand them a little more. Ricochet also helps us really see and understand Lily's struggle with her addiction and self image. I wanted to give this poor sweet girl a hug. Also reading about Ryke and Daisy and Rose and Connor and how they all band together to help her was really fulfilling. But most importantly Lo has made me feel so single. He really is one of the best book boyfriends.

"I’m remarrying you, Lil. Fuck, I’d remarry you a hundred times until it stuck."

"You don't make me miserable. You make me want to live. And I want to live with you."

Dare I say, I'm already getting addicted to these characters. I want more of them. This series is so good!

Note: This review is for an ARC and is my unbiased opinion.

I’m going to start this review a little backwards since this book was originally self-published in 2013 and is now almost ten years later is going to be traditionally published with bonus content. It’s that bonus content I’m going to start with. If you have already read or own Ricochet and are looking forward to a lot of new bonus content, you’re not going to get it. The bonus content is short collection of letters. It is fun, but just a few pages. I was expecting more. Maybe I shouldn’t have been since this book is really a novella.

Okay. Now here’s my original review for Ricochet. I thought I might need to make some changes from when I originally wrote this review, but it stood up in my reread of this book.

Gosh. This book was a(nother) heartbreaker. Seriously. Poor Lily. She’s dealing with so much in Ricochet. Lo’s left for rehab, and she’s alone with her addiction. His absence is tearing her apart, but she knows his recovery is a matter of life or death. Now she has to believe in herself and lean on Rose, Connor and Ryke when she needs help.

I have to admit Ricochet was stressful to read. I had anxiety right along with Lily. The authors’ portrayal of her addiction and all that went with it was so raw and emotional. I kept having to give myself little breaks to recover from everything I was feeling before I could read more. I just felt so awful for her. I feel weird saying I enjoyed getting this view into Lily’s personality and addiction, but I did. It definitely helped me understand her better.

Ricochet wasn’t all depressing. The few interactions between Lo and Lily were so sweet. And there were so many fun moments between some of the other characters! I loved the tension between the two smarty-pants Rose and Connor. The love-hate thing they had going on was cute. Daisy and Ryke were fun, too. Despite their age difference putting me on edge, I loved their flirty banter. There was also a touching moment when Ryke comes to Lily’s aid.

Overall, Ricochet was the perfect bridge between Addicted to You and Addicted for Now. It strengthened my love for all of the characters, their relationships and made me excited for the next book.
