A review by nickcarravay
What If You & Me by Roni Loren

5.0

I love when book two is not a slump when your expectations of a great read are met. How often does that even happen anymore?

This book absolutely did that for me. I loved Yes & I Love You, so the bar was set pretty high for this follow-up and this one cleared it with flying colors. The characters have a completely different set of challenges from the first book, so they don’t feel formulaic. Their fears and dreams feel very real and so do their wins and losses.

I am a sucker for exes being in the picture as supportive people who are still in your life and this book delivered a surprise on that front.

I also love a book that makes me enjoy a thing that I, in real life, do not. In this instance, scary movies, which I (a giant scaredy-cat) do not go near, but I loved them in the context of these folx.

Gimme a good friend gang and some supportive secondary characters and I am there, or rather here, in my reading nook. So get your blanket and your sipping drink and settle in for this steamy, sweet, final-girl-gets-the-guy love story.
