4.5 stars

I didn't even know that this book had been released or was in the works after the bombshell that had come out in Release. So, to say it had been a surprise would be an understatement. It added another layer and dimension to the story that I hadn't even known I needed.

Some of the story was the same but told from Nora's perspective. However, there was more there too. It was how this amazing friendship between Camden and Nora came about. It was refreshing and gave me hope that this sweet girl could get the love that she so desperately deserved from someone other than Thea and Ramsey. I loved the whole connection that they shared, especially the significance of the ten-dollar bill.

This book will tug at your heartstrings. It will also make you mad that bad people get away with bad things, especially if they have money or power over someone that doesn't. Yet, the story is redemptive in that it is love personified. It shows that the universe has a plan and that in the right circumstances that love can grow even in the darkest of times. ( )
