Publisher Description
Eden and Josh decide to give their relationship another chance in this much anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestseller The Way I Used to Be that “highlights with painful honesty the process of moving forward following trauma” (Kirkus Reviews).
Eden and Josh never had a fair shot at a healthy relationship. When they dated in high school, they each had their own problems getting in the way of the deep connection they felt toward one another. Unbeknownst to Josh, Eden was carrying the burden of a devastating sexual assault, while Josh was dealing with his own private struggle of having an alcoholic father.
Months after Eden and two other girls publicly accuse their rapist, Eden is starting college while her case goes to trial. Now when she and Josh reconnect, it seems like it might finally be in the right place at the right time for them to make it work. But is their love strong enough to withstand the challenges and chaos of college and the crushing realities of a trial that will determine whether Eden gets the justice she deserves?

Beautiful part 2
Loveeeeee this!
Why a cliffhanger?!?!
I loved this sequel, it was beautifully written as the first one. I just disliked that there was not a clear resolution to the trial and what their relationship would look like during and after.
Happiness ahead
A great finisher to follow her first book in the series. I am happy that the couple gets another chance at love, but it is not all “rainbows and sunshine”. I love that they both get to work on and continue to process to fix themselves, their relationship together, and their relationships with their family members. I enjoyed that this wasn’t the “perfect fairytale” and still has some brutally honest moments.
I do find this interesting to be a book for younger readers, I think that high school and up is the best age group for this series.
