I was so excited to crack open this second installment in the So Much it Hurts series because I wanted more Chris King.  I waited to read the first in the series until I could follow it with the second because I'd heard so much love for Chris King from fellow readers.  If you've read So Much it Hurts, then you know Chris is our beloved rock star.  In this sequel we get the details of his time in juvie.  This was a painful time for him in which he came to the understanding that people do care and have hopes for him, as well as his ability to reach for his dreams.  Along his journey in juvie, he meets and befriends Salem.  Salem is Chris' counselor while in juvie although she's only 7 years older than him.  We experience with Salem and Chris their personal struggles, anger, and depression, although it strikes them in different ways.  Salem and Chris had me mourning along with them during their good-bye from juvie as I hate goodbyes like everyone else.  The triumph and finding one's happiness is the life message I got from this read.  What gives you hope, breathes life into you, encourages you not to give up?  That's what Salem and Chris are both searching for and their journey to finding those things was trying at times but lesson-learning at the same time.  Give this a try and deepen you crush with Chris King!!  Review posted at: [...]
