I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.I was really looking forward to reading this book due to the whammy of a cliffhanger book one ended with, but unfortunately this one didn't wow me like Ruined By You did.I found Maggie to be very immature compared to book one. <spoiler> 1) The way she wanted to break-up with Haden so that he would go on tour instead of just talking to him. 2) Dropping college to go on tour with him without a second thought....what about a long distance relationship? 3) The whole getting drunk & making a fool of herself in the bar was a bit uncomfortable.I understand that they love each other but Haden being willing to drop all of his life long dreams to stay with Maggie is a little unrealistic. If he had done that he would have eventually resented her.I didn't really like the way that Maggie just decided to not go to college to follow him on tour. She needs to be a bit more independent before making such an enormous decision.The author did a WONDERFUL job of handling Maggie's mothers illness and death. I have witnessed a loved one dying from cancer and her depiction of it was spot on. She captured all of the pain and regret that goes along with it. </spoiler>This book was enjoyable but it lacked the intensity that book one had. I look forward to read more of Kelly Harper's books.
