Synopsis:Maggie and Caleb just went through the worst year of their lives. Hit by a car and starting life over with a limp, Maggie never thought she would forgive Caleb. But she did-and fell in love. What they shared was real. But Caleb wanted to be free from the past-and a terrible secret: he wasn't the one who hit Maggie. So he left Paradise-and Maggie-forever.
When Maggie and Caleb run into each other in a different town, they can't deny their true feelings. Will Maggie let Caleb get away again? Or will Caleb face the truth and return to Paradise?
My Review:
I really enjoyed this book and the chance to read more about Maggie and Caleb’s journey to returning to Paradise. The secrets, the tension, and the relationship issues just grow in this book. But it also gives the characters a chance to grow and truly understand what they want out of life and what they should take away from the accident. I love Caleb and Maggie’s relationship and while it is anything but perfect it is very honest and they do not run from their problems. I think it is honest as well because Elkeles write the book from both character’s POV so we get to see both internal dialogues. I am not sure how I felt about the ending. Part of me likes that it did not feel quite complete because I think there is even more material for the story to continue if the author wanted. But I also wanted closure because these characters struggled for so long. All in all I thought it was great and I will for sure go on and read Elkeles other books.
Side Note: Call me a book cover snob, but I am not a fan of this book cover because it does not complement the first book and I feel like it does not really represent the story and the struggle these characters go through. So I had to create my own book cover for this blog :)
