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 book
I love the way it was from what they were both thinking and the figurative language was just making each page better and better. Its definitely for high school age and is such a good read.
Great
Beautifully written love loved this I didn’t want it to end honestly. I feel slightly disappointed at the end cus I wanted to know so bad but I see what the writer was doing leaving that part out.. overall very touched by this read
Me too
This book was so so healing for me. The book before that too. I’ve always known I wasn’t alone but never felt that way, until I read this masterpiece. The way Eden carries herself through her assault and trial was such a similar experience to mine. The character development she goes through is real. I’ve never wanted to meet someone so badly.
