If I closed my eyes, I could still see them—all blonde sunshine, ocean-blue eyes, and long limbs. The glint of Lake’s gold bracelet. Pink cotton candy on Tiffany’s tongue. My scenery may have changed from heaven to hell, but some things never would: my struggle to do right by both sisters. To let Lake soar. To lift Tiffany up. The sacrifices I made for them, I made willingly.A better man would’ve … man would’ve walked away by now, but I never claimed to be any good. I only promised myself I’d keep enough distance. If I’d learned one thing from my past, it was that love came in different forms. You could love passionately, hurt deep, die young. Or you could provide the kind of firm, steady support someone else could lean on.
Lake was everything I wanted, and nothing I could ever have. I was nobody before I knew her and a criminal after. The way to love her was to let her shine—even if it would be for somebody else.
Book two in a completed, USA TODAY bestselling love saga.

Five Stars is Not Enough
Lake and Manning’s journey continues in this gut-wrenching story. This one gripped me so hard my heart feels like it’s being squeezed in my chest. I didn’t want to put this down for a second, and I wasn’t ready for that ending.
Manning is still in prison at the beginning of this book, and Lake still in high school and underage. Even upon his release, they can’t be together without causing the same problems he went to prison trying to escape. Seeing each other again just brings back all the memories and all the feelings that they’d both held on to and tried to forget.
I understand the reasons they chose what they did, even though I hated it. Even though I prayed it could have been different. The explosive power of their love for each other is something that consumes them both, and at the same time could be the death of them. Manning and Lake are everything, and nothing all the same.
I cried as I read the last chapter. It hit me like a brick to the head. I didn’t want that ending even though I know it’s right. More than anything, though, I didn’t want the book to end. I need to know more. I need to see how this story concludes. And I can’t wait until the final book in this series comes out.
I received an ARC of this amazing book in exchange for an honest review.
I could not put this book down or stop thinking about it for long after the last page! This raw and poignant story of forbidden love, and redemption had me cheering, crying, yelling and begging for more! It picks up with Manning’s heartbreaking time in prison. When he is finally released, he struggles to get back on his feet and find a life of meaning. Lake is in her last year of high school and believes Manning hates her for her part in his conviction. They can’t deny their feelings for each other but are battling with the weight of the guilt they both feel. There are also secrets revealed and the interference of others that conspire to keep them apart. My heart broke for Manning. He is selfless, kind, patient, and treasures Lake above all else. He doesn’t want to tarnish her or bring her down. Even though Lake has grown and matured, she is still naive and idealistic. Tiffany still has her frustrating issues but it seems that Manning is good for her. This story is so provocative, and held me captive with its raw and honest emotions. I love that Ms Hawkins did not cut corners but allowed us to feel every thought, and emotion that Manning, and Lake experienced. This is a moving and emotional story of love, redemption, trust, sacrifice, and consequences. It brought out so many extreme emotions and I loved every minute of it! The ending left me stunned and I can’t wait for the epic conclusion to this story!
6 STARS and one of the TOP READS of 2017.
This has to be the most intense and heartbreaking book I’ve ever read. Something in the Way was an outstanding book. Somebody Else’s Sky is a masterpiece.
Jessica Hawkins built characters so complex it made me dizzy sometimes. But there’s perfection in that complexity: every word was so well thought of, calculated to create the characters that would draw you in and provoke you. You can’t stay indifferent toward any of them.
I’m really never really eager to read about love triangles, but hell. This could never be just a simple love-triangle story, or a simple heartbreaking story, or a forbidden-love story, but it’s all of it. And more. It’s so damn intense, and beautiful in its intensity.
The Manning’s point of view mostly running the story. While we got to know Lake better in the first book, this one is far more focused on Manning. He’s such a beautiful, but flawed character. He’s got a lot of demons; and he’s very afraid. Not so much of monsters buried under the bad, but the fear is the one of not being enough. For Lake. And for himself.
”You’re what I want.”
“But I can’t be what you need.”
Lake’s heartache brings a lot to the intensity of the story. We see her grow, and we see her mature. We see her love, laugh, cry and let go.
She and Manning, these two lost souls, caught in the web of forbidden.
”Because whether I wanted it or not, I did love Lake. Like my cigarette craving, it lived in me. I couldn’t cut that cancer out, couldn’t quit this addiction. It would’ve been easier to swim across the ocean.”
Maybe they’ll find the way to each other, or maybe they’ll have to be stars in Somebody Else’s Sky.
Somebody Else’s Sky is book 2 in the Something in the Way series by Jessica Hawkins. Lake and Manning’s story continues and it is as gut-wrenching and emotional as book one. There were times I was so angry at Manning and TIffany while reading. Manning continues to push Lake away and deny and forbid himself to act on what he knows to be true; his love for her. Lake’s love never falters but consumes her; she knows Manning is the One for her and can’t let go of her feelings for him. The ending! UGH! I had to cry for Lake! No spoilers but book 2 definitely does not end with a happily ever after!
I have finished Somebody Else’s Sky yesterday, but I just couldn’t write anything. The book really got to me and I was left speechless. I’m trying to leave this as spoiler free as possible. Excuse me if I give something away.
The first book ended dramatically, as we all remember I’m sure (who would forget that?). Manning ends up in a prison, Tiffany confesses to seeing Lake get into Manning’s truck that night and Lake is…devastated. The poor girl just wants to love her guy freely and openly.
Somebody Else’s Sky (not much of a spoiler if you have read the first chapter – if you haven’t, WATCH OUT!) picks up while Manning is still in prison and let me tell you one thing. It’s heart-breaking.
Manning gets a lot of space – I feel like I got into his head a bit more than the last time. Jessica is a psychologist probably :D. He is torn and not just about his, ehm, love life. I like that Jessica engaged the topic of a criminal (even though we know Manning is not) into the story. Work, friendship and family is all included. What I love about him is how caring he is. Manning is willing to sacrifice a lot for people he cares about and that’s honorable. I just wish it wouldn’t cost him so much.
Lake, hmm. I love her of course and I want her and Manning to be together, but…Even though she is older by almost two years and she keeps saying she is more matured now, I don’t believe she is. Action speaks louder than words. I don’t think her self-steam is very high. She is wrapped in how she wants things to be, but isn’t truly fighting. I feel like Jessica created a second plot in Lake’s head. It’s a plot where the only thing standing between Manning and her is the age difference. After reading few chapters, I think you will all be able to determined that’s not true at all. I don’t think Lake is willing to admit to herself the truth. With things being as they are in the book, Manning and her CANNOT be together. They wouldn’t know how to. Lake wouldn’t know how to.
What I admired about her though is her capability to put everyone before her. Same as Manning. Gosh, if they could just be selfish for once…
Tiffany, now that’s a different story. To be honest, I do feel sympathy for her. She is the clear proof that people, especially kids and teenagers need more than just money from their parents. She didn’t have it easy with her dad, but what I do not like is that she seems to be taking it out on Lake. Let’s just say they don’t have the best sibling relationship. She pretends to be all innocent and not knowing there’s something going on between her sister and her boyfriend, but…I don’t buy it. My theory – she knows. She knows Manning and Lake are not just two people casually knowing each other. First of all, she saw them in the truck. Second, Tiffany keeps hinting on too many stuff, e.g. Lake having crush on someone, Manning being too overprotective of Lake etc. Many times, I had a feeling she would finally open the discussion what the hell is happening with either of them. But she didn’t. Basically, it tells me she is scared of the outcome. That’s why she is trying to keep Manning tied to her. The relationship they develop is not something I view as healthy. My very basic knowledge of psychology sends whispers into my ears – she is manipulating him. She is trying to keep him for herself, trying to tie him to her so Manning doesn’t leave. And the sad thing? It seems to be working… I would love to hear your opinion on my theory once you read the book.
Okay, more towards the book. I don’t know what it is about Jessica’s style, but she always captures me, not just with the story. I love her writing style, the pace she sets in her stories, the use of language in her case. And this book didn’t disappoint, that’s for sure.
Overall? Well, I didn’t cry while reading it (mind you I was travelling and was on a train at the time :D) but I did cry afterwards. It broke my heart, gave me hope and took it away from me once again. I honestly loved it though. I truly deeply did.
Somebody Else’s Sky by Jessica Hawkins a gut-wrenching breath-taking five-star read. This is the second book in the Something in the way series, the third and final book isn’t released for a couple of months and Jessica Hawkins has just become number one on my most hated list, she used to be number one on my fan girl list, but agggghhhhhh. I loved this series even though I spent a large chunk of the reading time with that horrid sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. I am sobbing like a baby because it’s over!! October can’t come soon enough. I foresee re-reading the first two books several times before the final book is released. You need this book in your life, especially if you were around in the 90s, even if you weren’t you still need it to understand the pain we went through. Life was hard, no mobile phones (you generally had to talk on the house phone in front of your parents) no GPS, no internet to get more details of your latest crush. ie stalk. The pain was so real.
Manning Raymond Sutter is behind bars when we meet him in this second instalment, he has spent his time in the concrete jungle with bars trying his hardest not to think of the girl he is there because he was trying to save, what makes it harder for him is the fact her sister has stood by him and she visits every chance she can. Tiffany has been his person and for that he keeps telling himself he must forget Lake no matter how hard that is, it’s for the best if he isn’t involved with Lake, not only is she too young, but she needs to spread her wings and fly. Manning has come to the conclusion that Love comes in many forms and no matter how much you love someone it’s not always easy, and love doesn’t conquer all, but sometimes with kindness and support you may get somewhere in the end.
This book took the story we started to love in the first book, and grew it into something you love to the stars and back, we watch as Lake grows from a sixteen your old teen to a young woman graduating school and starting life. Tiffany who I had a tiny soft spot for in the first book, who now I have a bigger soft spot for (I know, not a popular reaction) growing up and even though she’s still a spoilt brat, we see her and Lake’s history and relationship and without giving the game away we see how their lives are going, we see them take their own path in life. If you don’t have this series in your life, why? You need it now!! Get ready before the third book comes as you would miss a great series.
This book completely and utterly destroyed me.
I wanted to vent how this was not a story about Lake and Manning but a story about Tiffany and Manning but after the hurt, the betrayal, the ultimate devistation my heart went through, I still found the bigger picture and understood.
You have to start this series from the beginning and you need to push through the pain and resentment. It’s hard and it hurts but I’ve never been so emotionally invested in characters the way these characters have stole and consumed my heart.
I just couldn’t stop reading. It was like watching a car accident. You know it’s horrible and tragic but for some reason you stare anyway. You have to see.
This book will gut you so be prepared but that just speaks volumes of this authors undeniable creativity.
Angst, heartache, longing, jealousy, lust, friendship, innocence, family, the past, the future. It’s all tied together it one overwhelming story of forbidden love.
Wow. Just wow!
Be ready to not be able to put this book down! You will be pulled right back in where the first book left off. This book will make you have all the feels and leave you wanting more.
Ugh
So sad. It should be their ending. I’m not sure I can take any more angst. If he has married her sister that should be the end. She needs to tell him to take a flying leap.
I absolutely loved it though.
Jessica Hawkins what in the world have you done to me? I’ve read books in the past that have made me ugly cry and do the emotional “I never want this story to end” scream, but that is nothing compared to how I felt after devouring this story. Ever since reading Something in the Way back in February I’ve been craving the second installment of this highly anticipated epic saga – because come on anyone who has read the first book immediately knew that this was going to be the saga to end all saga’s…And why haven’t Amazon and Goodreads created the 5+ stars rating yet? I mean come on they’ve had since February when I first suggested it – GET with the PROGRAM. Jessica’s readers need to be able to give her a THOUSAND star rating and actually have it show.
This story has broken me (in a very, very, VERY good way none the less) and now I don’t know what to do with myself. I feel as if my heart has been torn out, shredded into a million pieces and then thrown into a pit of fire to burn until October. I have the ultimate and I do mean ULTIMATE book hangover… How the hell am I supposed to cope for the next five months waiting for Move the Stars to be released. Seriously I thought it was bad enough having to wait three months and now Jessica has gone and added two more months – How could you? Okay on a serious note I’m not mad because I totally understand how much hard work it takes for an author to write the perfect story, but the book monster in me doesn’t want to understand. The book monster wants this book like NOW! Shhhh, silence book monster – let this extraordinarily beautiful and talented writer go off to write the perfect ending for this phenomenal three-book saga. But lets just say I am certainly going to be leaving #IsItOctoberYet?! everywhere. Jessica you have been warned…
Oops! I just realized I haven’t actually talked about the book, but that’s just because I can’t talk about it unless you want a spoiler-filled review and I just couldn’t do that to the readers. Truthfully, if you are reading my review then you’ve already devoured the first book. Although if you haven’t you should probably stop reading this and go buy it NOW. Trust me! You will not feel true heartbreak until you’ve read that story. Lake and Manning’s forbidden love, a love that can not be… YET? I mean COME ON that ending. Yet another reason I love Jessica, she really knows how to leave her readers wanting more and I do mean more. This ending will certainly shock readers and have them gasping for air because this story will certainly leave you breathless. I will admit it took me a good half an hour to really believed that it had happened. Seriously I probably read that last chapter about four times before I finally let it sink in. So… I guess that’s enough for now, even though I didn’t really review the book. OOPS! #SorryNotSorry!
This book. How am I going to review this book? For a start I need to be able to give it more than 5 stars. It was extraordinary. 24 hours after finishing, my heart still hurts and the words are regularly floating back through my mind.
This is a love story – definitely not your average love story, but a beautiful love story nonetheless. Two people who are deeply in love trying to find their way.
I’d wanted to fall to my knees and pay homage. To overwhelm myself in her. Soak my senses with her. Touch her body, smell her neck, taste her mouth, hear her moan, feel her relief that I was home.
Jessica Hawkins has a way of drawing you into a story so completely that you feel like you are really there – in the scene, with the characters. Her dialogue and scene descriptions are so exquisite there were times I felt like I was Lake and the emotions she was describing were mine. The emotions in this book are epic. Have your tissues handy.
Lake grew as a character in this book. She’s still beautifully innocent but I felt she was also starting to find herself in this story and I loved seeing her discover new sides to herself and look forward to seeing who she is in book 3.
I sealed my words inside along with a great love that somehow fit inside me.
I loved the chapters from Manning’s point of view as I felt it gave us a better insight into why he made certain decisions and my heart broke as his story unfolded. His childhood history, his reactions in prison and his self hatred all built to give us a full picture of who Manning really is. There were times I wanted to hug him and also times I wanted to shake him in this book.
“You should have the world. F@#$ the world—you should have the universe, the sky, and every star in it.”
Tiffany was not a popular character in book one and won’t be in this story either. I did feel we got more insight into why she behaves the way she does and she showed some growth. But I gotta say I am still definitely not a fan.
I worried my sister actually thought she loved Manning. Sometimes I caught her watching him the same way I did . . . with stars in her eyes.
I don’t want to give away the story so I won’t say anything else. I will tell you to make sure you are prepared with tissues, wine and chocolate. You are going to need them. This story packs a punch straight to the heart. You have been warned. Bring on book 3 and the culmination of this epic story. I for one cannot wait
Jessica Hawkins has officially set the bar for my angst standards! I have spent days trying to come up with the right words to convey how I feel about this book, but plain and simple, I’m emotionally depleted after finishing it. As a seasoned reader, I strive to find novels that can still do this to me. I CRAVE a book that can MOVE me and CONSUME me and this series has done just that. After finishing book 1, SOMETHING IN THE WAY, I knew that my heart would be run through the ringer, but I was NEVER prepared for HOW MUCH. I felt EVERYTHING! Every encounter, every stolen moment. Every thought. Every emotion. EVERY MOMENT, I FELT IT. SOMEBODY ELSE’S SKY was painful to read! (Again, this is a good thing because it meant I was feeling what the characters were feeling). I was brought to tears, I was extremely mad at times and I was also hopeful at times. I was suffering right along with Manning and Lake throughout the whole book. SO MANY emotions went through me while reading and I LOVED every minute of it.
And like I expected, all my hopes and dreams were SHATTERED at the end. The whole book was like offering me the world one minute and snatching it away the next. My heart splintered and broke. Just thinking about this story, brings an ache to my heart. This series is the epitome of loving someone you can’t have. #forbidden. I am positive book 3, MOVE THE STARS will completely obliterate my heart and I am also staying hopeful that it will be mended back together. I NEED Manning and Lake to find their HEA.

5 I WANT TO BE YOUR SKY STARS!!!
I knew I was in for a epic journey after the ending of Something in the Way. I knew I would be in for a heart wrenching experience, but I had no damn idea just how much this book would affect me. I have been trying to come up with the right words to even BEGIN to describe my feelings about Somebody Else’s Sky. I’m not sure I can even come close, but I’m going to try.
This epic forbidden romance has left me reeling, stunned and with the WORST book hang over I have EVER HAD. There aren’t many books that have done that to me. Usually, I can move on after a few days. Well. It’s been over a week. Never have I been left in such a state where I’ve been thinking about a book day after day and night after night. I feel like I am living and breathing these characters. I have been sucked into their story and their lives and I just. Can’t. Let. Go. And then there are brief moments when I think to myself, “OK. I’m good.” And then I’ll hear a song, or see something online, and everything comes crashing back into my mind like a god damn tidal wave. GOD. I’m drowning in Lake and Manning’s story. Only Jessica can save me when she gives us the conclusion in Move the Stars. What am I going to do with my life until then? I cannot move on.
When I think of Lake and Manning…GOD these characters. I get an ache, deep in my heart and soul. But you know what? I would NEVER CHANGE A THING about this story. I trust this author to bring me back from the brink. The brink of what you ask? Not gonna lie. I’m still trying to figure that out myself.
Only a handful of authors have been able to impact me with their story telling the way Jessica Hawkins has. She pushes the limits like nobody’s business. She’s not afraid to ask us to ride the waves of agony her words illicit. Her stories are all consuming, stunning and intense. If you are looking for a series that will push the boundaries of your sanity and make you forget about everything else in your life, you need to read Lake and Manning’s story. Start with Something in the Way and then continue with Somebody Else’s Sky. I promise you, your life will never be the same.
I’m fully convinced Jessica Hawkins is trying to kill us with these books. They’re too good. So emotional. Gives you all the feels! Love Lake and Manning!!
Wow just finished this amazing book. I can’t say enough about the book. Left me speechless. Jessica what are you doing to me. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
4.5 Stars
Manning, Lake and Tiffany are back. And, they are just as angsty as ever. Which is a good, and a bad thing. 🙂
This book starts where the previous book left off, with a little time jump, but with Manning in the same place he was when the previous book ended. Egads, this is tough to review without giant, major spoilers for the first book. So, I am going to avoid talking about plot. Because I don’t want to spoil. Although, if you haven’t read the first in the series, what are you doing here? Go read the first one. You’ll thank me later.
Jessica Hawkins writes the best angst, forbidden, push and pull romances. And, this one is no different. There are so many things keeping Manning and Lake from being together. Her age, his past, her sister, her family. And, the most powerful of all are the things that draw them together: their feelings for one another and the fact that they have not yet explored them, or even really started to, and this is part of the pull…will they even work together? Is the attraction something they can sustain?
The pacing of this book was a little tough for me in places, as there was not enough, again in my opinion, of Lake and Manning together, so for me some of their push and pull, and that emotion, was missing a little in some of the story. And, then we get to the last 10% and, oh, the push and pull…FOUND IT. Oh goodness, I found it.
And, on the other side, the things that were not the Lake and Manning relationship were important. Tiffany, well, she is important. She matters to the story, and she matters to their future. It pains me to say that, I admit that.
Do I like Tiffany? Well, no. But, she matters. In a Maleficent matters to Sleeping Beauty kind of way and in a Cruella De Vil matters to some puppies kind of way, but she matters. There has to be a villain, the person who reminds you that there are others you like better. And, I can argue that she is incredibly well written, because you despise her. If she was a weak and badly written character, you wouldn’t care. And, oh, you care about Tiffany. You so care.
I am looking forward to the next one. Now works for me. October does not. By October, I may have to add Jessica Hawkins to the list of villains, for making us wait until OCTOBER.
I recommend this book, but it is not a standalone, you do need to have read the first one.
REVIEW: 6 SPEECHLESS STARS
“….because I’m all wrong without you, because I’m in love with you.”
It’s books like this one, series like this one, that remind me how much I love reading and reviewing. It’s books like this one that inspire reviews. It’s books like this one that make me so excited about the power of someone’s words. It’s books like this that renew my passion for reading…..and feeling. It’s books like this one that move the book-world…..or grind it to a halt. This is what phenomenal 5 and 6 star ratings are made of…..this book is the REASON we have exclamation points and 6 star ratings.
–> This series is shaping up to be the BEST OF 2017!!!! I cannot say enough how much the book series has affected me so far!!!! Like, seriously….ALL the exclamation points are needed for how much this book made me feel. Whether it’s ragey, angry, sad, or giddy, this book made me feel it ALL. Angst in spades. After I finished this book, I sat on the couch staring at the ceiling, just numb. I was completely SPEECHLESS, and if you know me, that’s an almost impossible feat. I wanted to cry. I just couldn’t. I wanted to yell. I just didn’t. I sat there, completely speechless while thinking of all these possibilities and scenarios, and what-ifs that could possibly change this story from where I thought it was going. My heart is heavy. There is an unknown weight just sitting on it and I am not sure my review will allow me to “purge” and move on. I believe this book will be a book hangover of EPIC proportions, and one that I will be talking about for a long time. I’m flustered with my thoughts and ready to discuss them!
“How was it possible to look up and see the same immovable stars I had a year before when so much had changed?”
It’s reviews like this that are simultaneously easy and difficult. Easy because you can scream from the rooftops about how mind-bendingly good the book was, and difficult because there is only so much you can say and not give too much away. Am I inspired to write this review? Most definitely. This book had the purest angst in the BEST form possible…..forbidden. The antagonist was probably the best I’ve read because she’s an underhanded bitch with an agenda. The protagonists are completely taken by the other, so much so that their senses are stripped bare but they are combustible when they are around each other. The spark is evident. The innocence Jessica made you feel again…..first love, forbidden love, unrequited love. Oh my gosh, seriously, she nailed this one so perfectly well, and it reminded me of the elation you get, but the pain you feel, in these situations. It was all so real and so true to point. Jessica Hawkins is my favorite author for a reason. I LOVE how much detail, no matter how finite, that she has added into this story to allow for discussion and reflection. So. Freaking. Good.
I will be honest when I say that I never read cliffhangers if I can help it. I hate them. I do. But holy cow, with Jessica — I trust her to hurt me oh so good and then to put me back together, in whatever form possible because it will lead to discussions and theories and more book love than ever before. She keeps me guessing with every book she writes and I love that!! I will die a thousand painful deaths while waiting for Move the Stars to come out. Thankfully, the painful wait until October will be quelled by the Somebody Else’s Sky Spoiler Room. I needed that as soon as I finished. I think that’s what makes this all the more perfect for me, though. I want this pull. I want this heartache. I crave this kind of story because it was REAL. There is so much depth and varied emotion within the pages of this series….so much to think about, to talk about, to feel, to cry over.
I am speechless…..
“She had the power over me that could hurt us both, and I had to be the strong one between us.”

I like to review books almost immediately after I read them, otherwise I feel like somethings get lost in the shuffle. But a truly great book will stick with you for long after you put the book down. You’ll be walking down the street and recall a phrase that stuck with you, or you’ll hear a song that makes you think of a moment in time in the story. You’ll look up at the stars and try to imagine what Lake and Manning see when they think of the Summer Triangle. Jessica Hawkins books stick with you, but none like Someone Else’s Sky….so far that is, book 3 is coming.
I started a review as the tears were still streaming down my face after reading SES, and then I took 24 hours to let the feelings settle and try and put my thoughts in order. When I re-read what I had written, I was confused. That’s not how I felt!! Who wrote this?! All this talk about understanding and sacrificing for love and being dealt cards in life that change your path in life. That’s not what I wanted to say! Or is it.
In the past 24 hours since reading SES; I’ve been reminiscent, I’ve been jittery with anticipation (for book 3), I’ve been smiling from the inside out, I’ve been distraught, I’ve been puffy eyed the morning after, I’ve been so angry (yes at fictional characters), I’ve been heartbroken and I’ve been inspired.
Lake and Manning and yes, Tiffany’s story hits so close to my heart. Not because I’ve been in a love triangle, or a forbidden romance. Or because I’ve been in their shoes. But because I believe in love. I believe in a one true love and a happy ever after. Because I’ve been young and felt so in love that you didn’t think the next day would come if you couldn’t be with that person. And because I’ve felt let down by someone I thought I loved so much and they just didn’t “get it.” But it hits so close to me, because I’ve also come out the other side of these situations. And no I haven’t found my love yet, so I have hope for these three characters. Even if at the moment, my heart still hurts for the situations they find themselves in and the “cards they have been dealt.” I have hope.
In trying to write a “spoiler free” review I ran on a diatribe of love and loss and true loves….but that is what you will go through. This book, really this series is a roller coaster of emotions like many strive to achieve. If you aren’t ready to look inside yourself at all of your past loves and relationships, keep moving. No one gets out of this book without a good cry yourself to sleep night. But I still have HOPE
