I love follow ups on books that I wasn't expecting one. This was a pleasant surprise.This book begins with Quinn & Ben in college. They both seem to be in a great place and even though they left a trail of disapprovals and issues behind them they are living out their dreams. Quinn finding a wonderful opportunity to help realize her dreams takes off for Italy. Although she is terrified to go without Ben she knows she will never get this opportunity again.Also with trepidation Ben supports Quinn leaving knowing how happy it would make her. Although he is excited for Quinn he seems to struggle with the fact that she will be gone and what her leaving could mean.. To him and her...In the meantime... Ben finds himself feeling as though things have turned a switch. He's now the one with insecurities. Watching Quinn leave only solidifies how much Quinn has grown in her life. So where does that leave him?? Ben fears she will no longer need him and that terrifies him. So not even realizing his consequences or really realizing this need in him he jumps at the chance to feel needed.. To be the hero... That's where I really started to question this guy.. But he is only human...This is a nice follow up showing Quinn in the best light. She struggled growing up and now a bit older and hopefully wiser is on the path of actually making something of herself. It was wonderful to see Quinn on a healing path. To see her grow and come to terms with some of her past mistakes. But also showing she is in fact human and although she has grown still fights within herself not to just roll back to her old self. Trying her best not to repeat any past mistakes. And showing that Ben isn't perfect as well only helps bring this couple more to reality.Nice little read. There could of been a bit more editing with run-on words and so forth but altogether a fitting follow up to Quinn and Ben.
