Let me start by saying I loved the first book, More Than This, and if you have not read that yet you should start there. Now I loved Jake in the first book and he still is the better book boyfriend, but Logan was so funny in the first book and I couldn't wait to read his story, and let me just say it was worth the wait.In this book we get Logan's story and get to meet Amanda again, she was briefly mentioned in the first book. We initially get the story in alternating past/present scenarios and it gives us some interesting background on Logan and Amanda. The story then goes on in alternating POV between Logan and Amanda.I love that the old gang is back from the first book, especially Lucy, I loved her in the first. The same funny comments from her coupled with Amanda's feisty nature and Logan's, well everything about him, make for an entertaining story.Grandmas smell like Band-Aids mothballs and oranges.Initially, even though I was enjoying the story, I sort of felt like it was not going to live up to the first. Then we get to the final 10% of the book and McLean rocks my happy little world. Holy cow, something happens that I just did not expect. My heart started to break and I could not read fast enough to find out what was going to happen. What happens, tears fell and I am left feeling empty. Now I patiently wait until this Spring. I so hate the winters in the midwest but the real reason I will be looking forward to the Spring will be so I can read More Than Him.Favorite Lines:"You. Are. Ruining DEAN HOLDER!""Dude it is Tuesday...and they are Hoovering.""I spent most of my high school years so far in the closet I was having adventures in Narnia.""We're goint to make new memories. Ones that you aren't afraid of. And it's going to be amazing.""I can't give you much, or anything at all. But when I say those words to you, it won't just be words--It will be me giving you something that means something."
