The pain that Becca goes through is so moving and her journey through healing is real and well written. Though I wanted to slap Ryan so many times throughout this book because he was just horrible to her…. What baffles me most is how these people have known her forever and even questioned why she would sleep with Robbie but never thought to ask her what happened? His friends were completely right in telling him to get his head out of his ass, because it was so far up there, the common sense area in his brain was blocked. Sam was definitely one of my favorite characters, even though she knew she should’ve spoke up about what happened with Becca, she took her best friends feelings in first.

Ryan who everyone acts like is a saint because he finally does the right thing and tries to be there for her, but again, could never give up other women for her? Miscommunication was used to allow the hero to do horrible, cruel things to the heroine while she is also actively trying to deal with having been raped, and you can guess which aspect took the backseat in terms of what she was more worried about, not herself, just Ryan. The whole point was to see how she heals and how he grovels, apologizes and realizes his mistake but we only get that for one chapter and then it skips the epilogue, which time skipped four years (hence the book title) but we literally missed all the important details that happened between them. Also give some reasons why I HATED it (had to skim the book real quick to remind myself and literally wanted to spin kick myself right after for that idiotic decision cause now I wanna scrub everything I read out of my brain again). While reading every scene I felt like I was able to connect with the characters on such a level that I was able to experience every emotion they were feeling.Then of course Ryan apologizes but Becca realizes after the way Ryan was the PAST YEAR he never asked her side of the story and he was so mean and vindictive.

The whole problem is that a story about a girl who gets raped should not be centered on a couple because you have to maneuver the heroine to cater to the love aspect of the story rather than her own journey to coming to terms with it.On the bright side she did wait four more years before finally giving in to his hovering (who moves across country for someone that doesn't want to be with them anymore? I wanted to slap him sideways because she only had sex with two people while he dogs her out by making her jealous with all those girls… but at least in the in he was sad… and learn his lesson …. THINGS I DIDN'T LOVE: It made me I found the first book in the series full, predictable and with really juvenile, unlikeable characters and I wasn’t going to bother reading this one. Miscommunication was just a plot point to have the hero be cruel to create angst, and all we got out of it was one scene where he cried, not worth it.

The entire epilogue was about how great he has been, how he helped get her over everything, how he deserved a second chance bc he stood by her blah blah blah! Here we have book 1 being cute and fluffy and book 2 with the same main characters being dark and heavy.

And when she did, my heart tore into pieces again, watching everything that she put up to be broken in to pieces left for only her to pick up. I speak of it as a woman and I speak of it as a psychologist who has to deal with such matters day after day.

Ryan the dirtbag who still couldn’t stop sleeping around/dating when everyone said he was in love with her? If the author wants to give her readers a little treat I wouldn't mind an update on how the future turns out for this couple.
