***WARNING - if you have not read High, you will need to read it prior to reading this book.  This is NOT a standalone novel***Zach and Bethany are back.  With a decision before her after Zach drops a bombshell on her about Farrah, she does the only thing she can, she runs back home.  She becomes miserable and within a week of being apart from Zach she doesn't know what to do.  As much as she wants to hate Zach, she can't, she's fallen to hard for him and Zach is determined not to let her go.  He rents an apartment in New York, determined to get Bethany back into his life and in his bed.  He quickly realizes that he can't live without her.He does the one thing he can think of, he convinces her boss to let Bethany work on the project she was supposed to do a year ago on IL, but Zach is determined to win her back and use work as a cover to get her back onto the plane.  Bethany struggles a lot in this book, Zach can't reveal his secret.  When I say he can't I mean he literally can't.  Can Zach reveal the truth in time to save his relationship with Bethany or will their relationship be ruined even before the entire truth is revealed?At the beginning of book 2 I really enjoyed the return of the characters.  They grew on me and just reading book 1 wasn't enough.  Unfortunately...  The errors I kept seeing in the second half of the book took away from the story and I mean BIG time.  I understand we are all human and make mistakes, but I had to keep stopping every couple of sentences and try and figure out what the author was trying to say because some words didn't fit, some words were missing, some things were spelled wrong, missing punctuation.  It really made me want to grab a pen and edit the book because the errors were that big and that often.  Don't get me wrong, the story and concept were great as were the characters, but when I have to stop and reread paragraph and paragraph over and over again, there's an issue.  I'm not the only one who had an issue with this, it was like the author gave up editing in the second half of the book because the first half of the book was fine.  Others have made similar complaints so I am now sure that I am not the only one who felt these errors were a big deal.  Because of that and the fact that it took away from the story for me I have no choice but to rate this book a 3 stars.  I'm even now debating if I want to read the third book because honestly?  With the errors the way it was, it's not worth buying for me.
