Now that I've finished my therapy for the rollercoaster ride that was this book, maybe now I can review it! I had been waiting for this book for months. I couldn't wait to have some closure to the cliffhanger ending for Ten Days and Andrea didn't disappoint! I'll admit though that I wasn't crazy that we had to endure so much Ember and Adrian in the first half of the book! I wanted to choke Ember at times but I was glad that the people she was surrounded by weren't letting her off the hook either. I loved Monica in this book. She wasn't afraid to tell Ember how it was and make her aware of the denial she was living in. Apparently Ember was the only person that didn't realize she was still in love with Bo! Even the new guy in town (yup, there's a new guy. Swoony too!!) Regan figures that out within a short amount of time! We are also gifted with Bo's POV in this book! Which was a life saver honestly. Because even though we weren't seeing Bo and Ember together, we still got to see Bo. Which meant we also got to see Rae. What can I say about that girl. I loved her in Ten Days and loved that we got to see her more in RA!!!!Even though I wasn't crazy with the whole Adrian/Ember hookup, it made sense! I loved the progression of the book. We still had the live music that was such a focal point in RA but with new and different characters. We got to see Bo and Ember reconnect. We got to see (and hold our breaths occasionally) while they forced themselves to just be friends. We got the touches, and glances and all those beautiful moments Andrea creates so well! THEN we got the heartache. For the love of all that is holy did we get the heartache!!! I for one never saw this coming and I have to admit it really pissed me off! But again without the heartache we would have missed the beauty that was born of it! Beautiful, touching moments between multiple characters that were written so perfectly that you felt you were right there in midst of it all! (hence the aforementioned therapy) So thanks Andrea for the rollercoaster ride! looking forward to what's next ;)
