Wow, what the --?? I feel cheated.I started this novella right after reading After Tuesday, the beginning of Brent's and Ruby's love story in high school senior year.This first book had such a sweet and promising ending and I was looking forward to reading about how their love continues - way off the mark!Instead, everything they had was shattered into pieces soon after starting college together when tragedy struck.What must have happened to destroy their beautiful and deep love for one another??That's what I was continuously asking myself from the beginning of the book.When Ruby and Brent accidentally meet again five years later with Brent now being a successful international soccer player,you get glimpses into the past as Ruby begins to remember what happenend.Now knowing what they had to endure at such a young age, I started anxiously wondering whether they would be capable of dealing with their past after all,so that they finally could heal each other.It was downright heartbreaking to see them still wanting and loving each other and yet seemingly not being able to find one another again.While After Tuesday is a Young Adult book with Ruby and Brent being teenagers,the content of Forgotten Yesterday is getting more mature along with its main characters.I love Renee's poetic style of writing and am eager to find out what is going to happen next to Brent and Ruby,hoping they will overcome everything that happened to them to find their well deserved HEA.
