of Now was incomplete.Characterization in the first book was really exceptional, and somehow Emily O Beirne managed to up her game here I don t know if it s because so much groundwork for these characters had already been laid, or simply because the moments felt bigger and deeper, but those moments, those beautiful interpersonal moments, were simply exquisite Not just the romantic moments between the leads, either there were wonderful little exchanges between friends, parents, everyone I felt those moments They resonated.So, I do have a pet peeve with rom...Do you know that feeling

favorites is going to be either a renewal of your love or an utter disappointment Well, I can honestly say Emily O Beirne did a number on my heart again, everything, and I mean everything about this book was spectacular Mia and Claire are two amazing characters They are so different from each other, and yet their relations...Well now I have to read all her damn books.This is an excellent sequel to The Story of Now I wouldn t say this is a standalone at all There are way too many references to what occurs in the first book and, if you re picking this up first, why haven t you read the first book yet Go, go read itand then come back hereSo many romances focus on the initial falling in love phase without seeing what occurs afterwards when conflicts creep into the relationship Here, we get it in a really realistic way And the conflict isn t just This is an excellent sequel to The Story of Now I wouldn t say this is a standalone at all There are way too many references to what occurs in

leading up to and then recovering from No, this book has conflicts layer...The plot is not so original, as it follows the old romance pattern love, split, love again.But the story is engaging, emotionally compelling, full of witty dialogs, all round described characters, even the secundary ones.It s a well written YA romance about understanding ourselves and our place in life, growing up, overcoming personal insecurities, finding the courage to stand against all odds, expecially inside the family.The two main characters, Claire and Mia are really lovable.I liked this The plot is not so

too many good things to tell I ll try to keep it short.I fell in love with the characters in A Story for Now and my love continued to grow in this book A big aspect of what I loved about this book is Mia and Claire s relationship which was a perfect example of what a real relationship looks like between two people made for each other They have their issues and don t always get it right the first time round but I absolutely adored this book and am not sure where to start with this review too many good things to tell I ll try to keep it short.I fell in love with the characters in A Story for Now and my love continued to grow in this ...I read these two books back to back which was nice There was a LOT MORE extraneous verbosity in this one The angst was high level I had to remind self though, that these are young 20 somethings and that the angst is pretty high in general at that age Overall this is a nice ...4.2 stars for both books They re well written and it s not often I like a book so much that s in first person But they were tough to get through for me.When I read a good book or watch a good movie I tend to disappear, there is no me any, just the characters and everything they re going through I m simply incapable of distancing myself from these fictional characters, especially in this case where it s not only written in first person but also in present tense So all that angst, 4.2 stars for both books They re well written and it s not often I like a book so much that s in first person But they were tough to get through for me.When I read a good book or watch a good movie I tend...Yea, well, sort of reminds me why I don t read young adult fiction slow so I sped it wondered why I d bothered at the end, but I did want to know the ending But not written for the likes of me, so Don t take my word for it.It was sweet very sweet. I hope the author make an another sequel when the semester start then of course after school and when they become professional I hope for that.
