Review: Buried hopes
Rating: 3 out of 5

The romantic drama of Emily and Nick continues in chapters that alternate between each character's perspectives.  The story arc starts at a low point and the happy moments are a long time coming -- most of the book is a fraught untangling of misunderstandings and lies of omission.  Also: not a lot of openness, courage or kindness.  The Greek experience on campus is also shown in an unflattering light almost to a point of prejudice -- the author usually has a gentler and more subtle touch.  I am not on board with the HEA, either.  These characters are too new to happiness and life in the real world to be making the hasty big decisions they make.  Whatever.  Love conquers all or something.  But Emily may yet be the Yoko Ono of the traveling band.
