Publisher’s Synopsis:
“When Noah fell in love with Nick, she knew their relationship would never be easy. They’re fire and electricity, and when they’re together, every kind of sparks fly. After last summer, Noah thought their passion had grown stronger than their fear, but her life is about to turn upside-down again now that she’s starting university. Moving again while maintaining her relationship with Nick will be a difficult hurdle, with their age difference, campus life, dangerous parties, and inner demons stalking them both, reminding them of all they still don’t know about each other.
No matter how hard they try, there will always be wounds that won’t close. Is Noah really prepared to overcome her fears and truly trust someone again? Will Nick be able to put his past behind him and keep his heart open?”
My Review:
This book ripped my heart out, tore it to shreds, and then stomped all over it…. And I loved every minute of it. I NEED the final book in this trilogy like right now, because no. NO, how can you leave me hanging like that!?
I love Nick and Noah so freaking much! I know it’s taboo but I just really don’t care. I am dying for them to get their happy ending. Noah is really going through it in this second installment, suffering from the trauma of the events in the first one. And Nick is just so besotted with her, it gives me all the feels. This book is much more character-driven than the first. I love their relationship, yet hate what they do to each other in this book. I can’t wait for the final resolution. It’s them against the world, and I’m rooting for them all the way.
It is a solid four stars for me. It just wasn’t quite as good as the first book. It was a little too long and drawn out at times, and there wasn’t the high-stakes plotting like in the first book. The thriller-esque elements in the first book were part of why I loved it so much, and I found that to be lacking in this one. But I’m obsessed with this series and will read anything this author writes (or at least anything that gets translated).
I’m so freaking excited that Bloom picked this series up. I can’t imagine not having the chance to have this book in my life. And I’m incredibly grateful to get an early copy.
I did notice that the translation didn’t feel as natural as the first book in this series. Reading My Fault, I never would have guessed that it wasn’t originally written in English. But this one, there were times where I felt like the prose could have been reworked in a way that made it more compelling and impactful for English readers.
