The Way I Am Now by Amber Smith
- Strong character development? Yes
5.0
At the start of this book, I didn't like how Eden treated Steve. But then Steve treated her horribly as well. And as the book went on, I realized that all of these characters sometimes do bad things, but doing bad things doesn't make you a bad person.
I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this book because I feel like it was obvious that Josh and Eden shouldn't be in a relationship. Josh gave too much of himself without taking care of his mental health and Eden depended too much on him for her happiness. So when they broke up due to her notdisclosing that she hasn't been taking her bc and him having a horrible reaction (for which they both apologized) , I was glad. In this time apart, they both grew and did things other than a relationship that made them happy. Because any healthy knows a relationship should not be your only source of happiness.
I understand why the ending was very open ended but I hope that Josh and Eden end up together and that Kevin gets fucking locked up. Side note: we don't get to see much of her brother and family after that last scene but I really hope Caelin and the family as a whole heals because I think this was a very traumatic experience for everyone. Hopefully we get a spin off book with Caelin because I can't stop thinking about him as he was being quite unhealthy the last time we saw him.
