Balance Check by M.E. Carter
4.0
First off, if you haven’t read Getting a Grip, do that FIRST! It’s a requirement. You will be LOST if you don’t. This is a series, and the books must be read in order. So run, go read it, then come back and read Balance Check right away!
Getting a Grip left us with sort of a low-key cliffhanger… and Balance Check kicks off months after the first book ended, and Elena and Greg’s story gets to continue on. I honestly wasn't sure how to feel going into this book, I wanted things to be better, happier... and it's a big dose of reality, dealing with blended families. I can only imagine the struggles that come with blending two families, and this book brings a lot of that to light, in a beautiful way.
This book was beautifully emotional, and devastatingly real. I was left raw, and broken after Getting a grip ended. ME Carter has a way of evoking emotions from me that I didn’t even know existed. She knows how to make me throw my hands up in the air, and then want to smack a character in the face with their own story! A fabulous follow up, and a quick read; Balance Check will make you take stock of your own relationships, making sure you don’t need any readjustments.
