My Thoughts…
This is the
story of how a trio of friends goes to only being a duo. The dynamic is changed, the feelings are
different, and the future is drastically changed. River, Adam, and Bobby have been best
friends forever. Their friendship goes
beyond just friends since Adam and Bobby both are in love with River yet River
is in a relationship with Adam. When
Bobby dies both Adam and River must figure out how to keep living.
The drinking,
the lack of sleep, working long hours, and lack of communication are all things
that are working against Adam and River.
Cassandra Giovanni did a great job of portraying the grief and how
people react to the loss of someone they love.
For some relationships it would
pull them together and some it pulls them apart. While this is not an easy topic to talk
about in this book grief is handled with care, truth, and realistically. It is not pretty, it is not easy, and a
person can’t know how they will handle it until they are in the situation.
The twist… holy
cow! I didn’t see it coming. Once it happen I was thrilled and am still
happy with how the story went. This is
the perfect book to follow up to Flawed Perfection (book one).
I have hopes of how book three will continue
the story but know that I will be surprised there too. This is a series full of heart. I recommend checking out the entire series,
which should be read in order.
