ARC provided for honest review.I’d love to be Mrs. H right about now! If you didn’t completely fall in love with Chris King in So Much It Hurts, then you’ll DEFINITELY fall in love with him in Then There Was You!In this book we are given a deeper picture of Chris. Of whom he is, what makes him tick…what makes him love.The relationship between Mrs. H aka Salem and Chris was a first a little off. I couldn’t understand how it was that a counselor and her counselee could have that kind of bond. However, as I turned the pages and the story unfolded, my comprehension grew.My heart swelled with pain, anguish, and later, joy. The sadness that Chris experiences from having to walk away from Kaitlyn is almost unbearable. The changes he goes through during his time in juvie are quite remarkable. And worth sticking with Melanie as she ushers us along Chris’s transformation.There was a point when I stopped reading. I emailed Melanie and told her how scared I was to turn the page. Quite literally! My heart began to race, my palms grew sweaty, and my head started to ache. I didn’t want Chris to experience any more heart ache. I didn’t want him to have to bear any more pain. She assured me it would be worth it. She was right y’all! But I’ll tell you, any book that elicits that much emotion, that much of a reaction is worth every penny!Chris King makes for one of the most splendid book boyfriends to date…at least for me. He has the make-up of the ‘perfect’ man. And, as I’ve expressed before; I want him to be real!!Read every word of every page in every chapter…it is ultimately worth every hiccup from the tears, rage from the frustration, and happiness from the love!!FIVE STARS++
