I really loved The Love of My Next Life. It was such an emotional read from start to finish. I really got sucked into the story and the characters. They were so easily relatable and easy to like. You can't help but love Macon, the typical bad boy next door. Then you have Lennon, the sweet nerdy girl next  door who's friends with Claire, Macon's sister who is the typical selfish popular girl who thinks she's the best friend who needs to be the most important. 

I loved that there was a lot of things in the book that were hidden from everyone else except Lennon and Macon. I loved how they were this undeniable force for one another yet forbidden and not allowed. It made what they had that much more special and sweet. I didn't like Claire's jealousy or her childish attitude about Macon. 

I knew without a doubt something bad would happen though in this book and it did. Then the author throws quite a cliffhanger at you. There were a few times I wanted to throw my kindle across the room during this book but I refrained myself. LOL 

This book, while written in the high school setting, it's more geared towards the adult section. It's got some dark romance vibes and it's definitely got some graphic parts in it. But for me that's what I look for. I love dark romance; the darker the better!!! I highly recommend this little duet by Brit Benson. She's a great writer, she evokes different emotions throughout this story.  I highly recommend this duet. 

I will read anything Brit Benson writes now that I've read this book.
