Keeping Her
by Cora Carmack
"Keeping Her" is the novella that follows what happens after Garrick Taylor and Bliss Edwards from the first book, "Losing It", become engaged and fly to London to meet Garrick's parents. The story was told from alternating POVs though I wish it were simply told from Garrick's POV because Bliss was just as annoying as ever. As you can probably tell, she never really grew on me during the first book and her insecurities and inability to truly handle her liquor being carried over to this novella did not help.
Garrick has been secretive about the life he led in London and the fact that Bliss was totally clueless about it all highlights how quickly these two were going through their relationship. Bliss was supposedly insecure but she seemed to be able to say whatever needed to be said when confronted by Garrick's mother. She's the poster child for insecurity but switches it up suddenly and without warning. Weird.
Once again, there was a chance for the story to be more interesting than it turned out to be. I also didn't see too much growth in terms of the characters though I did somewhat like how Bliss and Garrick's mom were able to get over their initial issues with each other and Bliss actually making sense when discussing with Garrick his life-altering decision in London.
All in all, this novella was okay. Was it necessary? Not really but fans of the first book will probably appreciate it to a certain extent. "Keeping Her" gets three out of five stars.
