Looking forward to stories about the secondary characters. ( ) This is excellent, primarily because of the joking and snark the two MCs share, but also because the imagery is really well written, as are the side characters. The underlying theme is potent; how do you go on after a school shooting that took classmates' lives? The next book's releasing in June, and I assume there will be two more. I suspect I'll collect the whole set. Roni Loren is an accomplished writer! In book time, that took me forever. This was yet another book that could be broken up in thirds. Roni Loren was at her best when dealing with the emotional history of the characters, including the healing of the trauma of their high school shooting. What wasn't so great was the relationship part. It was rushed and sex-based. I'm not sure people apart for 12 years can pick up so exactly where they left off considering high school secret relationships are a fair bit different than those at 30. There were none of those "moments" I live for in their relationship. There was angst, healing=banging=love, and angst. This is incredibly unfortunate because I felt the parts that were strong were really strong. You could feel for the characters. The descriptions were so vivid in parts I felt Liv's grief. If the characters had gotten to build their relationship and know each other just a little bit, even fight, this would've been so much better. The friendship between the four women was a highlight as well. I'll definitely continue the series though. Yeah, yeah, I just read a romance for Valentine's day. Sue me. I'm supposed to go out on a limb. Break the cast. Stretch my wings. Learn to fly... Oh, whatever... I read a romance, all right? The good: It does exactly what it sets out to do. Pull on the heartstrings without once touching the head. You know which head. Add past tragedy and bad decisions, throw two scarred peeps together, have them hem and haw about keeping things light and avoiding hurt through all the attraction, have a new emotional tragedy loom on the horizon, and then, when we think it's all over, give us the sappy romantic end. Wait... this can't be a romance, CAN IT? buahahahahaha. The bad: There is nothing, and I mean NOTHING surprising about this novel. It's a set piece, written well, but it follows the formula perfectly. That isn't always a bad thing, of course. People want to have their heartstrings tugged, get a huge dose of sexytime on the page, and FEEL. This novel does that. I felt, too. But afterward? I'm like... okay! What's next? *shrug* This MAY have been a one-night-stand. Even so, happy V-Day! aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Now, twelve years later, the kids once called The Ones Who Got Away are back...and ready to claim the lives they never truly got to live. The goth girl and the popular boy The best friends turned something more Sworn enemies in love The hot nerd and the life of the party And their second chance to get things rightLiv Arias thought she'd never return to Long Acreâ??until a documentary brings her and the other survivors back home. Suddenly her old flame, Finn Dorsey, is closer than ever, and their attraction is still white-hot. When a searing kiss reignites their passion, Liv realizes this rough-around-the-edges man might be exactly what she needs... Liv's words cut off as Finn got closer. The man approaching was nothing like the boy she'd known. The bulky football muscles had streamlined into a harder, leaner package and the look in his deep green eyes held no trace of boyish innocence. Summer reading at its finest! Readers are raving about this white-hot, deeply emotional survival romance: Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
