Summary:

Please note that this is the second book in the series and should not be read prior to reading More Than This.

"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."

For every choice you make there are rewards, or there are consequences.
It was my choice to walk away the first time.
And my choice to chase her the second.
But sometimes you don't get a choice,
and all you get are the consequences.

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength,
while loving someone deeply gives you courage."

Unless that someone is Logan Matthews.
Because loving him didn't give me the strength to walk away.
It didn't give me the courage to fight for him.
And when it was over, all it gave me was a broken heart.

My Honest Review:

This story just had me emotionally in so many ways. I got way too involved in just this book. This is the 2nd book. So go read the first book first. 

Logan just grew on me. I didnt know how I would feel going into this. Because I had such strong feelings during the first book with Jake and Mikhayla I just loved their story. But Logan and Amanda's story is completely different. You still see Jake and Mikhayla inside this book. But this is all about Logan and Amanda. Logan is messed up in his own way. His story is different from Jake. It really touches at your heart and you fall in love with Logan, You just swoon the whole time your reading this and then it breaks your heart and puts it back together again. 

By the ending of this story, I did not realize it would end that way. I was freaking out. I was expecting a happy ending, but it was different. So right then I just had to buy book 3. You just get so captured by this story. If you havent read it. You MUST go do that. Such an overwhelming story. Easy characters to fall in love with. Just go read this series. Her fans are called Jaybirds. So go read these stories. And fall in love with them just like I did. Become a Jaybird fan. 5+ stars.

Audrey can talk through her fears with Linus in a way she’s never been able to do with anyone before. As their friendship deepens and her recovery gains momentum, a sweet romantic connection develops, one that helps not just Audrey but also her entire family.

My Honest Review:
I started this book and I really couldn't get into it. The story just didn't capture my attention like I thought it would. But as I kept reading a quarter of the way through I just couldn't stop reading. I love Sophie Kinsella books, her book just capture me. I love how she writes. The stories she puts out there. They are just so funny. The metaphors that she uses in her stories. They are just so funny. One of my favorites in this is about the rhubarb. I laugh everytime I think of it. 
This story isn't all fun and games. It has a really deep meaning to it. Basically anxiety and how to express how people think and look at you. Having a fear of not liking who you are. This story is just so beautiful. I loved that this is her first YA book. And she told such a powerful story with it. Its a very deep and emotional if you can somehow understand these emotions. 
I also like that during the story she took awhile before the romance factor kicked in. It wasn't all instalovey. It was more than 150 pages in before the feelings come into the story. That really stood out to me. I love how the story progresses. How Linus and Audrey are together and then throw the brother Frank into it. How Frank was Linus's friend first. I love how the friendship didnt fall apart just because of Linus and Audrey together. 
I love how the story ended it just ended on a really good note. Not the way I was expecting from how crazy Audrey's mom is. I just really love this story. Being her first YA novel I didnt really know what to expect of it. But its just so enjoyable. 4.5 stars.

Synopsis:
From the glittering streets of Manhattan to the moonlit rooftops of Paris, falling in love is easy for hopeless dreamer Isla and introspective artist Josh. But as they begin their senior year in France, Isla and Josh are quickly forced to confront the heartbreaking reality that happily-ever-afters aren't always forever. Their romantic journey is skillfully intertwined with those of beloved couples Anna and Étienne and Lola and Cricket, whose paths are destined to collide in a sweeping finale certain to please fans old and new.
My Honest Opinion:
With this particular story I was thinking 4 or 4.5 stars. Until the ending the ending blew me away. I was just a pile of mush by the end. My favorite was Anna and the French Kiss. Until the ending. I love them all. But the ending was just OMG so sweet and so many emotions go through you while read it. Anna and Lola are both amazing books. All 3 books have their own personality. But I can see why some people say Isla is there favorite. Because the ending is my favorite out of the 3 books. But Anna is just my favorite for overall books. 
I love how the ending of this particular book wraps around all 3 books. It gives a great ending for the 3 people in this book. I just loved that. 
I love Isla and Josh together. I didnt think about Rashmi being with Josh in the first book. It didnt really cross my mind so I may reread that story. Just to see what they were like together. Isla and Josh really work well together in my mind. I love all their intense moments from their first kiss. To their more intimate moments. Their first kiss was about 100 pages in and I love the way their kiss played out while they were playing with each. The whole "if you were my girl" that whole scenario it was just so funny to read until the kissing moment. I loved it. Then they go into the flirty kisses where they both fall in love with each other. I love how the author took a whole chapter for the I love you part. I loved this authors writing style. These 2 characters in my mind had some intense chemistry and some emotional scenes together. Above it all I loved it. The ending is definately my favorite. I cannot wait to read what else Stephanie Perkins has. I will definately be reading more of this author.
