Steadfast
by Sarina Bowen
Ok
I'm a new fan of Sarina Bowen after reading bittersweet, which is Griffins book. I was excited to see book 2 about Jude released so soon and scooped it up. That being said bittersweet is still my favorite. I felt the pacing to be a little off as some parts seemed to drag and others seemed to skip over pertinent parts.
I enjoy Jude but Sophie felt a little flat to me. I wish they would have explored more of her relationship with her brother instead of focusing how mean he was to Jude. To me Garett felt like a throwaway character we were just supposed to automatically hate and not look to closely at. In the end when everything is brought to light I wish the author would have gone a little more in depth about everything instead of fast forwarding especially since the book was leading up to this point.
I also felt there was a little two much back and forth as if they were still in Hs. I think they both have some growing up to do. Though I did enjoy some of the flashbacks to how they got together some I felt were a little useless.
I loved seeing more of Jude and the hospital seen broke my heart as he worked so hard. I will say I didn't like how towards the end *spoiler* he wasn't driving and his conviction was overturned *end spoiler* I felt like the character had come a long way and owned up to his mistakes for it to just be tossed aside was a bit of a let down for me.
Overall I did like the book and am looking forward to save book but bittersweet is still my favorite adult romance while this felt more high school to me.
