3.5 stars...As I was approaching the end of Breaking Nova, I knew I had to have the next book in my hands. After a frantic search to make sure it was even OUT, I was lucky to find it. Phew, crisis averted.Spoiler Alert: If you haven’t read Breaking Nova, this review will make no sense what-so-ever. You’ve been warned!!!Even though this series was panning out to be such a toll on my psyche, I was truly invested in Quinton’s soul and his redemption. Between Quinton and Nova, his character was the one that I felt the most sorry for (yes, I’m aware my grammar sucks). Even though it felt like both “kids” were being punished for things out of their control, his punishment seemed a bit harsher, more brutal. But that’s just my opinion. I’m sure a book club could dissect that query for hours on end.At the beginning of Saving Quinton, Nova is recovering. She’s healing and even without all the answers, she’s strong and brave. So brave that she’s determined to make it her mission to save Quinton. But he’s in a self-imposed hell. And he doesn’t believe for one second that he deserves to come back from hell.Yes, this book was savage, merciless, and a complete kick in my gut.My review is completely based on a combination of reading and skimming. After just coming off Breaking Nova, I was shredded. That’s about the best word for it. So after reading for a while and seeing what was happening to Quinton, what he was doing to himself, I had to start speed reading/skimming. Again, Ms. Sorensen’s writing was mesmerizing and the story wasn’t a straight line heading in any direction I could predict. So a skimmin’ I went. Hey, I’ve got a family to keep happy and only so many happy pills in my medicine cabinet. A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do…The ending… *sniff, sniff*It’s not easy but it works. My stomach still clenches thinking about how Quinton got there. YES, I will be reading the next book in the series, Nova and Quinton: No Regrets. I’m hopeful this will be a happy ending for them…Please?
