This is easily the best five stars book I’ve read in a while. I’ve been wanting to read a book full of drama it wrecks me, well this book does. I haven’t cried so much over a story lately, and this lockdown has made me want to pour my emotions and this book made me channeled out everything.
The writing is so good that I feel every emotion Ryan and Becca were experiencing.

Though admittedly I was so frustrated over the miscommunication plot but the writing is so descriptive and convincing, that I really tried to see everything from each character’s perspective. Even though the side characters were a bit flat in Four Doors Down, here all characters felt very three dimensional, even minor characters like Mason and Bernie. I love to see that even small side characters show growth, especially Mike at the epilogue. All in all, it is an epic story of love and friendship.

Spoilers ahead 
Becca and Ryan are finally together and try to do LDR. 
Becca gets hurts and Ryan thinks she’s cheated, he’s hurt and blocks her out of his life while she’s suffering and hurting. 
Made me cry when Sam was defending Becca at the party. Becca went through so much, it was good that she had friends who looked after her. Ryan was an *ss. IDC if he was hurting, he did some really mean sh*t. 
The grovelling wasn’t enough to make up for what Ryan did. 
Also, Becca unrealistically got into med school easily when irl it’s a lot harder than that. 
Anyways, an angsty emotional read that explores important topic. Ending could’ve been better.

I had to pick this book up because I absolutely loved the first one but WHAT A ROLLER COASTER OF EMOTIONS. Not to give anything away but read with caution, few cw warnings in it. I wish the ending didn't feel so rushed but ultimately had me smiling in tears.

WHEEEWWWW i made it out alive after reading this.
I was a crying & sobbing mess while reading this book. This book literally rip my heart out and stomp it a million times before shred it into tiny pieces. Gosh this book really bruised my heart. I need a few moments to heal from it every now and then.


It’s really sad to think that the incident is pretty common to happen to other people in real life. To the people who went through something like this, I’m so sorry and i hope everything gets better.

Angsty, read dealing with deep and difficult topics.

This is a reread for me. It’s a really good angsty romance- one of those where because of a misunderstanding, everyone turns against the heroine. There were parts of this that were really hard to read. Overall, I loved this and thought it was well done. I do wish the ending were more fleshed out- after spending all that time asking for another chance when the misunderstanding is cleared up, suddenly she doesn’t want that anymore? And I hate that it jumps four years. I think if the ending had been without that long time frame, even though on page it’s just one sentence to the next, this could have been a five star read for me.

So I didn't really like how the ✨situation ✨ was handled at allll. I felt the angst and drama could have ended waaay earlier than the book allowed. I really dislike when someone, aka the victim is selfless enough that it would harm themselves, and for what? To be called names and spoken of ill intently. ONLY then said bullies find out MONTHS later that they were mistreating the victim? I couldn't.
However, I did like the ending which was about 10% of the book which is why I'm giving 2 stars.

The start of this book should have been the end of the first one. Plus more grovelling was 100% needed

War leider auch nicht viel besser als Teil 1.
Viel hin und her. Viel Drama.
Keine Kommunikation.
Aber ist halt Liebe, was soll man machen?!?
Auch wenn man jemanden wie Dreck behandelt - aber, er ist soooo heiß. Muss man schon verstehen, dass man da nicht sauer bleiben kann.
Gegen Ende musste ich heulen, weil mich die Szene mit ihren Eltern echt sooooo fertig gemacht hat.

Booktok hat mir eine unglaublich emotionale Lovestory versprochen. Die hab ich nicht bekommen.
Schreibstil war trocken.
Protas hatten keine Persönlichkeit und durch den Egoismus der weiblichen Hauptfigur (hab ihren Namen schon wieder vergessen) hatten alle anderen keine Raum mehr zu sein als diese eine Rolle die sie für die Geschichte sein mussten.
