Melanie has struck again........Oh God I have no clue where to even begin, I am lost for words right now. I can't stop crying this is just......OMG I really don't know what to say.Melanie has out done herself truly, I'm not going to lie before I even started the book I taught there is no way she can top "So Much It Hurts" that was heartbreakingly amazing. Holy Mother effer was I wrong "Then There Was You" is in another league altogether  I cannot even think about it without crying, not because I'm sad but these are happy tears.When you come to truly care about a character the way I do Chris from book one, seeing him find a happy ending is extremely special  but it was the way it was written each word griped onto my heart like a vice.....I'm struggling to explain the affect this book has on me but let me tell you it was a surreal experience.I love it when a book can take me to that state of mind where I'm no longer aware of the world around me because I'm so caught up in the story unfolding before my eyes through the pages.  I was enchanted and bewitched by Salem and Chris and I loved every achingly beautiful moment.I'm NEVER going to forget this story EVER.Essentially the book is split into two; the first half recaps the past from the time Christ went to the detention centre, his history with Salem, the devastating heartbreak he suffered after loosing Kaitlyn. Salem's post-partum depression and daily struggles as a new mother."I was trying really hard not to hate her. Why is she making it so difficult?"~Salem"She enjoyed her peaceful slumber while I silently cursed her in my head."~SalemSalem love for her job and the boys she worked with is what saved her especially Chris they had a really special bond.I cried or tried not to cry during this part of the book so much sadness and pain it literally engulfed me from the pages I felt every single thing Chris and Salem were feeling.Melanie has some crazy skills that's for sure, what she accomplished with that first 50% of this book is magnificent the depths of emotions is breathtaking. I might have a  vodka cranberry or three lol no I'm serious.The second half balanced out the first half perfectly it is much lighter and happy as the two former friends and confidants re-connect and fall in love. I am shutting up now because this is suppose to be spoiler free so if you want to know what happens then buy the bloody book it will be so worth it.I am officially fan girl-ing all over Melanie she is an amazing Author and I cannot wait to read anything she writes she is so freaking awesome. Love her and more importantly this book which I highly  recommend.XOXO Natasha
