The Evolution of Us

The Evolution of Us begins with Declan trying to get Holly to give him one more chance. They were childhood best friends then hischool and college sweethearts. The story goes back and forth from the time they lived next door to each other as children, until present day as adults. We slowly find out how their relationship started and where it all went wrong and why. I love second chance romance, so I was very excited to start this book. Declan is a very determined young man and I loved him and his determination. Holly is a sensible and independent young woman, but she has never gotten over Declan. I enjoyed reading their story and seeing why the broke up and watching them find their way back to one another. I also enjoyed their other two best friends Baxter and Sage. I wouldn't mind reading more about all of these characters terms in the future. I definitely recommend this book to everyone who enjoys a light hearted second chance romance.

To me, this novel gives hope. Hope for everyone who thinks first loves can't last. Holly is ready to throw in the towel. Her first love is trying to win her back after shattering her heart two years ago. The reader doesn't know what happened at the beginning. We just know that he is a player now. Declan wants another shot at winning over his first love. He's been in love with her since he was a kid. Living across from each other and being best friends. He is not opposed to begging at this point. The reader gets bits and pieces of their life from childhood to living together in college over the entire novel. It's builds suspense and curiousness because it doesn't make sense how everything went wrong. They seem perfect. It completely makes sense when things start to unravel. It's like the wrong perception can change the course of you're life. Their two best friends Sage and Baxter keeps things interesting. They bring the laughs when everything turns serious. It's a strong family novel too that touches the reader's heart! **Review by Sallie**

What a heart warming second chance love story. Declan and Holly were best friends which turned into first love. They were everything to each other until a breakdown in communication took them down separate paths. They never got over each other. Declan has vowed to get Holly back whatever it takes. This story had my emotions all over the board. I thought Declan was sweet and such a great book boyfriend, but then I wanted to strangle him. I wanted to yell at Holly. These characters became near and dear to my heart as I went on this incredible journey with them. Everything happens for a reason and in their case, I do think in the end it made them stronger. Sage and Baxter who are their best friends I also absolutely adored. I really hope we get to see more of this foursome! Great read!
