Review: "Love is my weakness..  I didn't want you to see mine."
Rating: 4 out of 5

This book picks up where book 1 left off, or does it?For the first 20% of the book, I honestly thought the book was being told from the POV of someone else. Then you realize what you thought... was wrong (or maybe it was wishful thinking on my part).In this book, you see the interaction between Katie and Jake. Jake, yet again, gets himself in a situation with a woman who isn't 100% truthful.I was hoping to get some answers from the crazy ending of book 1, but that didn't happen. Not only did that not happen, but I was left with more questions! (damn you Morgan Parker) I will say that my opinion of Jake changed from book 1. Yes, he attracts manipulative women, but he is no saint in all of this. I think he has no idea what he really wants and loves the idea of being in love. He breaks up with his fiancé when he thinks 'something' is missing, falls in love with Christine over texts and then quickly does the same with Katie.It is definitely an interesting idea to only be able to witness Jake's relationships from his phone's POV. It's crazy how open we are in digital form. There are no distractions when it's just a text between two people. You open up in ways that would take much longer if you were forced to face the person.If all this wasn't enough, the ending of the book will leave you wondering... when the heck is Textual Encounters 3 going to be released?? Morgan Parker has his work cut out for him trying to tie together all the loose ends of heartbreak and betrayal.
