Wow. Just wow. The thing I think I love the most about Falling into Us was that Jasinda Wilder has this amazing way of taking you on this incredible journey, step by step with her characters. Her stories about teenagers coming of age are so real, it's almost like getting transported back in time, you are feeling everything right along with these characters, so many feelings that were so predominant in, I think, everyone's youth, wether it be a new scary and exhilarating experience like your first intimate encounter, or a heartbreaking journey through a big loss, or even the ups and downs of dealing with that rocky transition from child to adult.

While I did like the first book, Falling into You, this book was so much more for me, I didn't just like it....I loved it! Becca and Jason were both two characters that I couldn't get enough of. I loved every second of reading about them. I also have to say how great I think it is that this story didn't follow that typical new adult/contemporary romance plot. If you read as much of that stuff as I do you know what I'm talking about, that journey of the main characters finally coming together, and just when things are going well....BAM some obstacle sends them apart where they individually flounder without each other until getting back together to live happily ever after at the end. Don't get me wrong, I love these genres, and I do enjoy that particular story line, but it is incredibly refreshing when a book like this one comes along and can still keep your rapt attention without the drama of will they or won't they work things out? I loved how Becca and Jason were a untied force through everything, I mean that's the dream right?! And with all the other things going on in this book, there were no dull moments, the drama was still there, but in a different way.

I, being a Michigan native myself, have to say I found that aspect of the book to be a lot of fun. The mentioning of Great Lakes Crossing and U of M brought a smile to my face. These are places I know well and it was enjoyable for me to hear some of the nicer things Michigan has to offer mentioned! We kind of get a bad rep with constantly being around the top of the charts for the murder Capitol, and shows like Hardcore Pawn that highlight some of the work of our truly beautiful state.

Lastly I feel like it has to be said, this novel did a glorious job of tying everything together. While we got a glimpse of closure at the end of Falling into You, after all that pain and suffering it almost left you wanting to know more, like what the future of Nell and Colt looked like. Well if that question was something you would love the answer to, look no further because you got a great picture of the end of their journey in this book as well. Where the first book broke you I'm a million pieces, and this book had it's fair share of heartbreak as well, by the end you had a feeling of coming full circle. It left you with a sense of peace and healing, thank goodness! I couldn't imagine it all playing out any other way.

If you have not read this book yet, stop waiting, my friend because you are missing out. This was a unique read and such a beautiful story from beginning to end. I will definitely be on the look out for more from this author in the future!
