Review: A heart tugging page turner!

I have only read one other novel in this series: The Secret of Ella and Micha. In that novel, I met Ethan and Lila. In this novel, I fell in love with them.Because of reading the other novel, I knew this one would have its ups and downs. I would be happy, sad, and everything in between. A few spots had me laughing, but overall this was a heavier book for me to read. That's not to say I didn't enjoy it. This book was fantastic! I liked it better than Ella and Micha's first book because this read like a standalone and gave me closure. Everything I wanted to know about Ethan and Lila happened in this book. The only cliffhanger in this book had to do with Ella and Micha (whose story I need to follow better). I loved seeing the softer side of Ethan, who seemed closed off before this, and seeing Lila open up about her past, the things she did, the way her parents really treat her (disgusting, btw). I felt like I fell into Lila's life right from the start and was held captive there until the ending. What Lila went through... it was heartbreaking. The fact that Ethan stayed by her side through it all proved how much he loved her.
