I have no words. My heart. My heart was shattered and put back together and shattered again. I aches for these boys. The angst and pain and love and passion and pain and ache - it was almost too much!
The story between River and Rain continues in this sequel. River and Rain are torn apart as Rain's best friend from childhood, Roman, is back in his life to help with the threats that Ted is making. Roman being back stirs up some serious emotions for both River and Rain.
There are so many secrets. You learn more about Rain's history and see more of what a terrible person River's dad is. You learn about a whole new world that both boys are interconnected to. You sit on the edge of your seat. At one point I realized I wasn't breathing! You learn that love is messy and hard and worth fighting for.
This book was about 99% of a steep, uphill climb. I cried. I CRIED. It is so so good.
