I was lucky enough to get an ARC of this story from Kelly and I loved this second book just as much as the first one, great job. Of course there were parts in the book that frustrated me like how Maggie would not hear Haden out, how she was letting Kyle tell her that her love for Haden and his for her was not as important as Haden's dream of being a rock star (then come out and say go do this and we will figure out how to be together, why one or the other?). I have to admit I wasn't real happy that her family, including her mother waited until she had such little time left to tell Maggie about her illness. Now for all of the wonderful things, I enjoyed Maggie's Uncle Larry, he brought humor to the story. It was so great that Haden wasn't going anywhere without her, he was sticking around until they could get their relationship worked out, it was hilarious when Maggie decides to do something for the first time and then goes flying across a table after someone because she is jealous. When Maggie finally realizes that she has made a mistake and goes to Haden it was the best part of the book, from this point forward my heart was full, they are great together, Haden is so sweet, sexy, and loving. I enjoyed reading about their time together, Haden meeting her family, then her mother, and their trip to the waterfall. It was so easy reading the book when it was the parts with them in it together. I didn't understand why they had gone almost a whole month without seeing each other and barely talking to each other after their trip to the waterfall. The sicker her mother became the more tears fell, and when the end came I couldn't stop the tears it was written so well. I loved what Haden, her uncle, and Kyle did for Maggie's mother but was so disappointed in how Maggie treated Haden, I hated that she kept treating him so poorly for no reason and never letting him know what was going on. What she did after he told her he had to return to LA for a quick trip had me bawling, I thought here we go again and of course she was miserable for days after. I was so happy when Maggie finally took the time to talk to Scottie about his relationship with her mother and how she forged a relationship with him at that moment. I thought the surprises at the Battle of the Bands was great, I got confused for a second because when an announcement was made that one of their own was going to be joining them on tour, I thought they meant a person from Green Falls so I thought he was talking about Maggie lol but of course I loved the reunion between Maggie and Haden and what they decided about their relationship. It made me so happy when Haden told her that he came back for her, man he is perfect and of course the ending made me happy, I wish we could have seen them a few years in the future to see what their life ended up looking like but can't have everything. This is a must read.
