I didn't feel like I got to know the love interest, he didn't have defining characteristics. ( )

Jos is suffering from the loss of her best friend. She blames herself for the things that happened to cause this loss. She has decided to live her life day by day instead of living for the future. She has moved in with her sister and the rest of the gang.
Since everyone seems to thing that Jos is spiraling out of control, they keep a close eye on her and everything she does. Enter Dusty. He is sarcastic and attractive. The last thing Jos wants on her plate. She really tries her best to avoid him. The feelings he stirs inside her are dangerous and she doesn't want to have them.
Dusty. He has suffered and made mistakes. He has put his life on the right track. He is more than interested in getting to know Jos. He will put himself in any position that will get him closer to getting to know this knew person.
The friendships and relationships that are built in this book are strong. But as always, there are secrets. Secrets that will either tear Jos and Dusty apart from one another before they even come together or they will bring them closer together. Secrets in this book show that it really is a small world after all!
I really liked this book. I just could not put it down! And I wasn't disappointed in any way! This book is different from the first. It does have the characters from the first, but it isn't centered around them. It is equally as good as the first book though! ( )

If you love a book packed with romance, angst, and mystery... This one is for you!

I devoured this book in two days and I didn't want it to end. The story was full of twists and turns that led to an angsty romance. Both characters carry heavy burdens from their pasts and when they start to fall for one another secrets are slowly revealed. The sexual tension is so thick you could cut it with a knife and when they finally give in... it's fireworks!!



The emotional depth of this book will tug on your heartstrings. It really proves how important family ties and friendships are when dealing with life changing events.



One thing unique about this book are the character's traits. They are different and not perfect like the usual... I LOVED THEM!



Highly Recommend. ( )

For those who follow my reviews closely, you’ll know that I’m a fan of Chelsea M. Cameron’s work. I’ve read a few of her other books, like [b:My Favorite Mistake|17348308|My Favorite Mistake (My Favorite Mistake, #1)|Chelsea M. Cameron|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1370774562s/17348308.jpg|21441527] (the first in this two book “series”), and seem latch onto many of Cameron’s strengths when reading.

One of my favorite things about this book was the main character, Jos Archer. I think the author did a great job writing all of her characters, both main and secondary, for this book, but Jos was one of my favorites. I guess that’s normal since she’s the narrator too. I really felt for her throughout everything that went on. I also liked her love of music, writing, and her other characteristics.

Since this is a companion to My Favorite Mistake, we also get many of the characters introduced in that book. It was great get reacquainted with them and the college setting in Maine. One of Cameron’s strengths is setting, in my opinion.

I’ll admit that I wasn’t too sold or charmed by Dusty, but I wasn’t totally turned off from him either. In a few key parts he irked me with his actions, but he’s also a great guy at the heart of it all. I can’t fault him too much.

I’d be happy if Cameron were to revisit this series with another book. I think I know what character could take the lead, as well. I’d definitely be one of the first to grab that book. ( )
