Saving Quinton takes place where Breaking Nova left off.Nova leaves Quinton behind to move forward, to move on. She moves back to college, she starts working at a suicide help line, she meets a new friend, she stops watching Landon's video, she starts to grow and find herself. But what she doesn't do is fully get over Quinton.Quinton is well, Quinton is a sad, broken but beautiful, beautiful man. Even through all of his flaws, through all of his headache and his mistakes I can't help but love him. But, let me give you a fair warning: if you thought he was sad, and desperate, and depressed and drug obsessed in Breaking Nova this book may not be for you. He stopped living, stopped caring, stopped trying."I'm glad because I want to be dead. And I'm working on getting there, one numbing line at a time."My heart broke for both Quinton and Nova. Their love for one another was apparent throughout the whole book, though they hadn't admitted it to themselves they loved the other. Both of them beliving they are too damaged to love or be loved. But, there love is strong and it leaves you feeling hopeful for their future."If you love me at all, then you'll get off the damn edge of that roof!... I swear to God, if I lose one more person I love, it's going to kill me."This book made me angry- so, so angry. I wanted to throttle Quinton for being such a selfish coward. I wanted to shake Nova and tell her to walk away while she still could. But, more than anger I felt heartache and pain. Every single time Quinton spoke of dying I cried, I wanted to reach out and hold him, to save him. Every time Nova cried because she felt she wasn't strong enough I wanted to give her a pep talk, telling her she could do this!While the book doesn't end on a cliffhanger, I'm content with where it ended (for now) I am eagerly waiting for the third book in the series. I'm praying Jessica Sorensen can find it in her to give us and HEA, to give Quinton and Nova their happily ever after because they deserve it. If anyone deserves to be happy and healthy and in love it's the two of them."So all I can do is take the next breath and then another."
