I was up in the air about whether or not I was going to read this book since the moment I finished reading Breaking Nova. It left me with so much foreboding that I didn't know if I could handle reading Saving Quinton. However, my OCD that won't allow me to not finish a series told me I had to read it. And I'm so glad I did. I never would have been comfortable not knowing what happened to Quinton.I don't usually get personal with my reviews, but I couldn't help it with this one. This book sucked me in and didn't spit me back out until I finished it. Drugs scare the sh*t out of me. Not because I've done them or been lost in addiction, but because I've seen it happen to some of the people I love most in this world. I've seen how drugs have wrecked their lives and the struggles they faced to come back from their addictions. It's hard to watch someone you love do that to themselves, not to mention what they do to others because their addiction is all that matters. I related with Nova so much during this book because of my experiences, and I kept begging her to not give up trying to save Quinton.I have never experienced the kind of pain that either Nova or Quinton have dealt with in their story, but I felt their misery as I read the books. Which says good things for the author's talent, but it also hurt my heart. Nova pulled herself out of her pit, but Quinton is digging himself deeper and deeper into his. She's trying to rescue him, but he's fighting her at every turn, not wanting to be saved. Will she be able to get through to him before it's too late? Will his downfall be hers as well? Please read this book and find out. It was very hard for me, haunting my thoughts and dreams, but I'm so glad I made the decision to continue with this series. I can't wait to see how the Nova and Quinton story ends. To see if Nova truly saved Quinton or if there's no way to pull him out of the darkness that consumes him.
