When We Were Us
5By pudge48I just loved this story. I could not put it down. Can’t wait to start the next one. I love that you bring everybody back in to each book. Keep writing. I also loved the first book with Evan and Cam. Pudge48Loved it!
5By JLKenistonAgain I loved this book!! Elena just has a way of tugging on your heart strings to present a beautiful story of love, heartbreak and healing! Christy and Mark certainly had their ups and downs but the lack of communication can be overcome. Christy needed to have a direction after her overwhelming loss and she found it. Its such a great story!!Beautiful Story
5By Laura__FI went into this book nervous I wouldn't be able to finish since I had a journey similar to Christy's. Books like can sometimes amplify your worst fears because the fiction is so close to reality. Infertility can be such a delicate subject but this book treated it with sensitivity, dignity, and respect. I love books about the life after the traditional HEA. This story showed that marriage can be hard work that comes with ups and downs and it requires a strong commitment to keep it going. Even though Christy and Mark have been together since 8th grade, they still have to put a lot into salvaging their relationship after having one of their dreams dashed. The only word I can think of that does this book any justice is perfection, absolute perfection. It had me laughing and crying and every emotion in between. This series is fantastic and I can't wait to see what's in store for this group of friends. *This is my voluntary review of an advanced reader copy*Sweet
4By ledossThis is an achingly sweet story about disappointment, heartbreak and renewal. I enjoy this author. A really great vacation read. The second book in this new series and am looking forward to the next. There is romance, dysfunction, loss and a sweet ending. Good read.A happy ending!
5By Load funI am leaving an honest review of this book that I received an advanced copy of. I opened this book first thing Monday morning before getting out of bed and I was SOOOOO thankful that it was the first day of summer break!!! I could not put this book down. I don’t believe in giving away any details of the book, but all I can say is buckle up and prepare for the roller coaster ride of emotions!!! I worried about how dark the book was going to get but of course I only read those books that end with a happily ever after- this book did not disappoint!
