And Rebecca Donovan has done it again! She has left me speechless and heart broken right to the end. The happy moments make me want to cry and the heart wrenching moments make me want to cry even harder. This book was fantastic. Had to order the 3rd one in to my local bookstore and I am waiting on the edge of my seat until it comes it.
Donovan does an amazing job of ending a story where you want to scream. If you are thinking of reading this series, do it!

This is the second book of the series. In the second book Emma moves in with her mother, Rachel, but her life doesn't reach sunshine and roses.
While I recognised what other people were saying within the first and second book about them not being perfect, I saw both books as extremely touching. They both made me go through many different stages of sadness and annoyance. The ending in itself I found extremely heart shattering and a part of me wishes to pretend they reached a happy conclusion. I sincerely hope that the final book brings me closure.
If you've read the first book and you enjoyed it or want to know what happens in the next chapter of Emma's life, then this is the place for you. Once more, just like the first book, be sure to check for the content warnings as this is a very heavy read.

Knížku jsem četla v rámci knižní štafety a nebýt možnosti se do toho vyzuřit, asi bych to ani nedočetla. Jak jsem ostatně napsala i holkám v hodnocení; můj názor jde asi dost poznat z ubývajících poznámek, zato přibývajících vulgarismů. Chcete vědět, jak vypadá 500 stran absolutně o ničem? Takhle. (Ale nechcete, věřte mi.)
Ta kniha nemá děj. ABSOLUTNĚ ŽÁDNÝ. Tam prostě není zápletka - ale není to příklad díla, kde by to teda fungovalo. Směsice nefunkčních dialogů, směšných postav, deus-ex-machina situací a extrémních kravin, které si autorka cucala z prstu, jak se jí zrovna zachtělo. Koncem to zabila už totálně, nechápu, co se touhle knihou snaží předat za poselství.
Upřímně, dlouho jsem nad knihou nebyla takhle rozčilená :'D

What is with the cliffhangers lately? Every book I have read has had them.
I'm so conflicted here. What happened in the end was Emma's fault in a way. Had she never opened up to Jonathan like she had and been open to Evan the misunderstanding wouldn't have happened. While I get why she did, I just don't see why she couldn't trust Evan after everything they had been through.
Let me veer off here and talk about Evan's relationship with Analise. Completely inappropriate! I almost threw my kindle across the room while my chest felt suffocated with jealousy. And I was the reader. It's crazy how books can affect me. I wouldn't even let my boyfriend touch me because I was so ticked at the male race. But how on earth did Evan even justify his actions? He loves Emma but doesn't mind carting a tag-a-long everywhere?
I can understand why Emma leaves in the end. But I don't get it. She throws away the most amazing man, her one true love because of her inability to not harm him? I'm fuming! I am now going to be up the rest of the night devouring book three, praying she gets knocked in the head in soccer so she will come to her senses.

I still struggle reading this book in the series. I’ll often skip it or skim it when rereading. Just because of the tension.
