I absolutely love this series so much! I cannot get enough of Damon and Ainsley.  This is a fun fast paced read that you won’t be able to put down. I have enjoyed reading The Next Generation books of my favorite series.  I need book 3 so I can see how their story ends. Love these books!

It has been a while since I have picked up a book by Tijan and I am kicking myself for waiting so long. Pine River was everything I was hoping for and more. I always know when I pick up a book from this author and I am going to be glued to kindle. Well this book was no exception, I stayed up way later than normal because I couldn’t put the book down. 

I love the way Tijan tells a story and can make me feel like I am back in high school. She has a way of making invested in the characters and the story. I really enjoyed Scout and Ramsey’s story. I loved all the high school drama and just being back in a world created by this author.

I’m so glad to have the conclusion to Dia and Finn’s story. It was an emotional ride and one I’m glad I took. So many questions answered that I was left wondering about. Dear Heart I Miss You was a great ending to their story. I went in heartbroken and eventually was put back together.

Pub Date: June 27, 2017
Rating: 4.5 Stars

Our thoughts...

  

I keep asking myself why I don’t read more YA books. I loved this one and the characters. This is so different from anything Samantha Young has ever written and I loved it.

India and her mom don’t have the best relationship. Her father abandoned her and she hasn’t gotten other that. She has built up walls to protect herself and became popular at school to keep others from learning about her past.  So when Hayley says she’s moving them to Boston so can get married India is not exited.

It’s hard to say a lot about this book without giving anything away. This is a story you don’t want to miss. I loved the characters and can’t stop thinking about them. This is a story about young love and the struggles we go through in life.
