** If you have not read Losing It, do so before reading Keeping Her**
Review may contain spoilers if you have not read Losing It.
Keeping Her follows on a few months after the epilogue in Losing It.
Busy working in theatre, happily engaged, Garrick and Bliss travel to London to meet his parents.
It is a big step out of their comfortable 'love bubble' they have created around themselves in Philly.
Garrick comes from money - lots of it, and his snobbish parents go out of their way to make Bliss feel uncomfortable.
I loved Garrick's friends Rowland and Graham - sometimes no matter how distant you become from people, when you are back together it is like old times. They are just hilarious, but out to support Garrick, knowing what things would be like.
Like every relationship, Garrick and Bliss have bumps in the road, but it is what we do with those bumps that make or destroy relationships.
What does it do here? You will have to read it and find out
Fans of Cora's writing, especially G & B fans will love this novella it is short, only took me about an hour to read it, but getting more of the background of Garrick is well worth it.
I look forward to more.

More like 2.5... A cute, Super fast and interesting read. As i like both of the leading characters in 'Loosing it', it was not a problem to like this one. Though its 3 stars worthy but still... it was done so suddenly that i was little shocked. But totally worthy read. Its super cute and little over insecurities from both of them. She should have written a little bit more and it still would have been interesting but other than that its nice.

I'm giving this book 4/5 stars because it's short... But I enjoyed it. This short story presents "meet the parents of Garrick" and a sneak peek of Bliss best friend Kelsey.
.. Still amazing and worth .99 cents at amazon.
I can't wait for the next book called "finding it". I'm so excited and it will come out on October 2013. ❤

Nice little novella about Bliss & Garrick going to England to meet Garrick's (extremely rich and estranged) family.
Please give me more Bliss and Garrick!!! Oh this book (short novella?) was wonderful. Is the type that you'll finish in a couple of hours with a satisfying feeling.
3 Stars
Bliss was pretty annoying in this one for sure, but once again, Garrick saved the book. Loved reading his POV! Also, was it me, or did this end pretty abruptly? What is the point of a novella sequel if it leaves you with more questions than the original book?! Maybe their story will have cameos in the other two books. I sure hope so!

I really enjoyed 'Losing it', the first novel of the series. And I loved Garrick and the whole plot. It was hilarious and very fun to read.
Which is why I was a bit disappointed in this little sequel. I won't talk much about details, I just think it's kind of sad how little we get to know about Garrick's and Bliss' future. There were quite a few amusing parts but all in all the story was rather boring :(
The end came waaaaay to fast! I read the story on iBooks on my iPod and it said I was on page 260 of 341, so I expected more. But then I turn the page and have to realize it's the last page and the following pages are just a sneak peek into 'Finding it'. UGH! Really?
