Commitment...why are we so afraid?The story picked up exactly where we left off in the first book. We were given a glimpse of Mags and Drake's story in My Misery Muse and I loved how it make me felt excited to see how their story ends.I have always been a fan of Drake. When I read MMM he was the one I was rooting for. Seth is sexy as hell and God! I love what he does to Devi but  my attention was captured by Drake instead...how he was able to take care of Devi and Jaks while Seth was away and the unconditional love he has for his family and friends really touched my heart. I was happy to see and discover more of him in this second installment, and that I was never wrong in liking him.Drake is man who knows what he wants and will definitely do everything to have it. He's afraid to  commit but when it comes to Mags, he is willing to try and go for it." I don't do commitments, which she knows, neither of us do, but with her I was willing. Hell if westarted something, I am pretty sure we wouldn't be able to stop anyway."Despite Mag's unfortunate situation, he loved her in every way, even with all her excess baggage. But Mags on the other hand tries to resist him. She was trying to fight her feelings and would rather leave herself broken hearted than to drag Drake to what she believed is her f@&* up life.A lot of times I wanted to slap her! I mean, only a few guys can take that and Drake is one of them. Who says no to Drake anyways? If Brei's intention was to literally hate Mags in the beginning of the story, well I gotta give her that because I really did hate her! (LOL). I could understand if she said she didn't love him, but its not that simple. She knew she loves him just as much but CAN'T be with him." How long are we going to play this game Mags? You know we would be great together right?Why don't you have any trust in me?Because I am used...because you deserve better than me...because I can't give you what you need..."Granted shes had her personal problems worse than most but she knows Drake has been with her all the way, and her personal issues don't bother him at all. And it took her a life and death situation before she even realized it. She annoyed the hell out of me!"You know I came to a few conclusions while waiting around for you to show up, and well thebiggest one is that I love you too, now I just need for you to wake up so I can tell you."Brei had no doubt was able to create strong characters; characters that audience can easily relate to...characters with real dimension and she has successfully connected all the pieces of the puzzle together to create the whole picture. The characters talked exactly how they should, believable dialogues (funny most of the times) which blends right into the story line.Overall, I'd say that I enjoyed the book. With enough intimacy and angst, I believe Brei has done a great job on this and I can't wait to read the next ones...mmmm maybe a story about X?
