rosmelie 's review for:

The Sound of Forever by Katherine Jay
4.5

I have had to sit on doing this review because my mind was still trying to process the pure amount of mental gymnastics I went through while reading. The way we were left to wonder what possibly could’ve happened to Willow after the conclusion of the first book was just the beginning!

The back and forth, push and pull, between Jesse and Willow throughout the book is great. Jesse has had to keep a huge secret from Willow for years, but will he finally break? Does he need to? He’d do anything for her, and honestly it might just help with how he’s gotten back into his own head after seeing her after so many years. Willow is essentially fighting everything that’s against her to remember her past. Will the past ultimately hurt her, or will it finally give her the peace of mind to break out and truly be herself?

I really enjoyed seeing how both characters grew, even through struggles, throughout this book. It didn’t feel like there was a quick “wrap it up, here’s their HEA” story, and that made it feel like it could be about someone close to the heart. So much happens for both of them, and part of me still can’t fully wrap my head around it.
