I fell in love with Ryan and Alana in Strip Me Bare. I loved how fate gave them a second chance to get things right. I read that book twice in the same week so suffice it to say, I couldn't wait for Stripped From You. I knew how their story ended and I was dying to see how it began, in detail, the teases of flashbacks in Strip Me Bare made me NEED this book. My need had me plowing through Stripped From You in a matter of hours. Marissa takes us back to that summer where Ryan and Alana meet and I swear from the moment Ryan first lays eyes on her, I was smiling like a crazy person. I loved seeing their casual "thing" quickly blossom into more. I loved the way they knew they were meant to be.. Another plus for me, it all takes place at the Jersey shore (NO, not that Jersey shore lol) I really love that the story takes place in my home state on the beaches and board walks I visit each summer. Stripped From You has easily earned a place next to Strip Me Bare as one of my favorite series so far this year, Marissa's writing is excellent. Once I start, she pulls me in by making her characters extremely lifelike and I get vivid descriptions so I'm able to see the story in my mind yet nothing is over detailed, if that makes sense. Her writing is fun, and I love the way I'm able to get lost amongst the pages. She's become one of my must click authors and I'm so glad she wrote this story so I could see how it all began for one of my favorite book couples.Ryan and Alana still make me happy sigh every time I think about them
