There was nothing I didn't love about Who We are by Shanora Willams.  Maybe one thing that it ever had to end.  I really enjoyed the second book in the Fire Nine Series.  The ending of the first book blew me away.  I couldn't wait to read this book.  I'm so glad that Shanora is a writing machine because I wasn't sure how long I could wait for some more Gage and Eliza.  If you haven't read the first book and don't want spoilers then I would stop reading here.  If you have read the first book then be my guest read away.Who We Are doesn't take place right after the first book.  There is an eight month gap.  That's how long it has been since Eliza and Gage have seen each other. After that heart wrenching departure in Who He is we find Gage and Eliza face to face.  Eliza has been concentrating on school and her passion while Gage has been doing the same with the band.  Eliza pretty much ripped Gage's heart out.  He is still really hurt by her choices and he doesn't plan on forgiving her.  Well until he see's her and can't deny that what he feels for her is something he doesn't want to live without.  Finally they can be together.  Well maybe not!  That Penelope still has her claws into Gage.  Eliza is still focused on her future and is determined to graduate.  Both Gage and Eliza have a lot of obstacles to overcome if they truly want the happiness they are meant to have.When I was reading this book I felt like I got a lot more from Gage.  A glimpse into that man's beautiful soul perhaps.  He grew so much since the last book.  Eliza's love and heartbreak made him a better man.  I loved him in this story.  Eliza was still sweet as ever but stronger if that is ever possible.  She rolled with the punches and was determined to get what she deserved.  These two inspired me with their love and strength.I loved the introduction of some other great secondary character.  They helped keep both Gage and Eliza grounded.  Which was pretty important.  We all need the love and support from our family and friends.  It's important not to have to carry all those emotions around with you.  We all need someone to talk to when the world doesn't seem fair.Rock stars are terribly misunderstood individuals.  Everyone in this book had a story.  I'm definitely looking forward to more from this series.  A little birdie has told me that we may be hearing from the illustrious Roy next.  In the mean time you will need to read this book.  It is the perfect follow up to book one.  It was a pretty emotional story for me.  It's been a couple days and I can't get it out of my head.  It made me extremely happy.  It also made me a little sad.  One other thing that this book and it's characters did was make their way into my heart.
