The more I read from Bella Jewel, the more I believe she can do no wrong. She can write on so many different subject matters. And they all come out with hints of Bella but so different, but all work.
To me this was a very perfect second chance romance and what I loved the most was seeing the build and then the fall of Max and Bella’s relationship and then the coming together again. I love the back and forth between past and present because you see the fall but the build at the same time. While building it back wasn’t easy, you could tell from the first time they saw each other, it was necessary.
I also really loved seeing them fall apart from both Max and Bella’s POV. You could see why it wasn’t easy for both of them and the reasons behind it. Was it a lot of lack of communication, yes. But what happened with Max would have torn down many. And even though Bella tried her hardest to be there for Max and to find out what was bothering him, Max didn’t want her to know.

I wish there was more to this book. While it wasn’t missing anything, I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to the characters. I know I’ll probably see them again in other Bella books, since she was awesome at bringing characters around in other series. But to me, a show of an excellent book and excellent writing, is trying to turn the page and there are no more. Well done, Bella, well done.
