I really enjoyed reading Ryan's POV. Stripped from You take us into the past when Ryan first meets Alana and their journey begins. I never realize how emotional unattached Alana was, how she thought showing her emotions was a sign of weakness. But Ryan was the one who wasn't afraid to show his, who would've thought, the way I saw it was that she was one who gave it her all and he was the one who turned away from it. My heart went out to him on more than one occasion because he had to deal with his idiotic, selfish twin brother and a mother who could care less. I really, without a doubt enjoyed Ryan's story. It was heart wrenching to read is POV and understand where he was coming from and why he did the things he did. I never realized the emotional blockage Alana had a due to her father and him telling her it's a weakness, what a prick. Then we have Ryan's mother and his brother, they are in a category of their own, with family like that who needs enemies. Marissa did an excellent job because with a lot of books that you read that are telling the same story but in a different POV, you will still feel like you're reading the same book over again. But Marissa wrote this book by making her readers see the past and what Ryan and Alana was before they met back up years later. Excellent writing and storytelling Marissa can't wait to see more of work.
