Four Years Later by Emma Doherty

I came back for seconds and surprisingly, this one was a little better. Becca seemed much more grown up and mature, whilst Ryan unfortunately did not. The harrowing rape of Becca had me heartbroken - but why would the resolution of such awful things happen at the end of the story? The author needs to pick another career because clearly, writing is not for them.

I don’t like books that keep the MC’s separated for 85 percent of the book. The angst was there though. The h forgave the mmc too easily.

let’s be real, i bawled my eyes out reading this in one sitting but that mf didn’t deserve shit. like there’s no way the author wrote this out to be a happy ending for both bc he didn’t deserve it. and it just felt like a pretty bad take on such an important topic.

More groveling was needed. There’s a time jump at the end, and I feel like readers were robbed (and the redemption wasn’t fully earned).

That being said, this duet was a fantastic guilty pleasure.

I've never had a book that destroyed me emotionally this much and physically ever. But this one did. I’m honestly scared to reread because I might not stop crying for the next weeks... but it was still one of the best books of all time 6 stars!!!!
