♡ I absolutely LOVED this book! I was so intrigued and excited to read Austin and Kara’s story while reading Wildflower (book 1 in the Wild series), and I was not disappointed. At first, I was a little lost because it doesn't start right off with the both of them. They meet only a little further in the book (not halfway through, don’t worry, lol), but it made the story more realistic for me. We got to see Kara and Austin, both of them, during their daily lives before something happened to shatter Kara’s life. I love how Austin and Kara’s story happened at the same time as Rhett and Jessie’s.
 
It dealt with some heavy topics that, in my opinion as someone who never went through this, were really important, not talked about enough, and were pretty realistic. And their relationship. I’m sorry, but the communication between the two of them… The love, the respect, the comfort—this relationship was truly everything.
And the ending?!?!! EXCUSE ME?! I was shocked when I saw it was the last pages… HOW COULD IT BE THE END!? Seriously, the plot twist? I saw it coming, but I didn't think, for even a second, that it would be THIS! No, seriously. The end of book 2 was SO not what I was expecting. But now I want to read book 3 (and 4!!!) SO BAD!!! I’m so impatient to read Know's, the playboy's, story. As well as Lacey and Colby's story!! I NEED to know how they met and how they ended up like this. I want to know everything there is to know about this family!
