In the page-turning sequel to Skater Boy we find Rory and Hindley in even more dire circumstances. Will their relationship survive the new threats or will it crash and burn?I was lost in Rory Gregor once more, but in the back of my mind I knew we had bigger issues to talk about. Issues that could ultimately tear us apart.As Rory and Hindley work to make the love between them flourish, ill-meaning people all around them do everything in their power to push them apart. Rory is trying, through his illiteracy, temper, and tendency to make rash decisions, to rebuild his professional skateboarding career. Hindley is trying to slave her way to the top of her law firm and the only way to do so is help Rory attain more endorsements. Unfortunately, there are those who would love to expose their relationship and destroy everything they’ve been working for.“I’m talking about the fact that I love you more than anything or anyone on this earth. I’m talking about how I’d do anything to protect you, no matter what it is.”New enemies surface, past revelations are made and we finally see the conclusion to Hindley and Rory’s story. Both feel as though they are inadequate and not good enough for the other. They have a hard time feeling like they are good enough and a lot of the novel is spent working through these feelings. Finding themselves so that they may grow in love together.They both have a lot of growing up to do with each other I think. Some of their reactions are overly dramatic, though these were balanced out by sweet sentiments and a few steamy scenes. A very sweet conclusion to their story.
