Summary
Can you live a lie？
It’s a ghost town， this place that haunts me， the one that made me。
It’s clear to me that I’ll never outgrow Triple Falls or outlive the time I spent here。
I can still feel them all， my boys of summer。
Even when I’d sensed the danger， I gave in。
I didn’t heed a single warning。 I let my sickness， my love， both rule and ruin me。 I played my part， eyes wide open， tempting fate until it delivered。
There was never going to be an escape。
All of us are to blame for what happened。 All of us serving our own sentences。 We were careless and reckless， thinking our youth made us indestructible， exempt from our sins， and it cost us all。
I’m done pretending I didn’t leave the largest part of me between these hills and valleys， between the sea of trees that hold my secrets。
It’s the reason I’m back。 To make peace with my fate。
And if I can’t grieve enough to cure myself in my time here， I’ll remain sick。 That will be my curse。
But it’s time to confess， to myself more so than any other， that I’d hindered my chances because of the way I was built， and because of the men who built me。
At this point， I just want to make peace with who I am， no matter what ending I get。
Because I can no longer live a lie。

WILD！！！ 5 STARSTotally unexpected twisting and turning plot！ My heart broke， I had alllllll the angst （a must have for me in my love stories） and a killer story！ I can definitely understand why some would want to “throw” their kindles/books BUT I was totally impressed overall。 I’m all for an alpha male and we get that even more so in this book 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I’m being very careful not to give any type of spoilers so I’ll end with - if you have been thinking about reading these…DO。 IT。

This book had had me alllll up in my feelings。 I’ve NEVER read a book that made me cry and this one。 It broke me。 If you need a book that’s going to give you a good cry， this one will do it。 I had to take a day after the part that really hurt my heart。 Contemplated not finishing it but was so worth reading to the end。

Can I just say， the only reason I’m giving this 4 stars is because of a certain man I’m in love with not being in over half the book？ There I said it。 No spoilers but dang you Kate for ripping my heart out。

My heart is shattered。 Wow oh wow， I went in knowing it was going to be a wild ride， but never expected to feel this much from a story。 Completely sucked in。 I don’t want to spoil anything but man， what an emotional rollercoaster。

Holy shit。 This book destroyed me。 DESTROYED。 I was not expecting everything that happened in this book。 I don’t know which book I shed more tears for。 This one or the first one。 But all I can say it destroyed me and I wasn’t expecting the ending either。

This gave me exactly what I wanted。 I won't be moving on to book 3 though because I enjoyed book 1 and 2 so much and I don't want my ending to be ruined。 The gambler （Kenny Rogers） - Know when to fold 'emKnow when to walk awayAnd know when to runThank you great book。 Absolutely worth a read。 This gave me exactly what I wanted。 I won't be moving on to book 3 though because I enjoyed book 1 and 2 so much and I don't want my ending to be ruined。 The gambler （Kenny Rogers） - Know when to fold 'emKnow when to walk awayAnd know when to runThank you great book。 Absolutely worth a read。 。。。more

Listen… I left a review on the first book about how exciting it was and how it kept me on my toes， so moving onto the second book I was excited。 What I WASNT expecting was to ugly cry my way through this book。 I gave it five stars for the complexity and the way it made my feelings go fucking haywire。 I honestly don’t know if I’m still really torn up from this book， or if I really truly believe that a lot of the shit that happened was unnecessary。 The reunion？ You know the one。 YES the reunion， r Listen… I left a review on the first book about how exciting it was and how it kept me on my toes， so moving onto the second book I was excited。 What I WASNT expecting was to ugly cry my way through this book。 I gave it five stars for the complexity and the way it made my feelings go fucking haywire。 I honestly don’t know if I’m still really torn up from this book， or if I really truly believe that a lot of the shit that happened was unnecessary。 The reunion？ You know the one。 YES the reunion， ripped my heart out and made me almost DNF for the third time。 The middle？ I can’t even describe how I felt while reading those pages。 I have never been more angry and heartbroken at the same time。 This series changed how I view a “secretive” book。 Never again。 With all of that being said， I’m glad to have read it and experienced it。 Will I read it again？ Absolutely the fuck not。 I genuinely applaud Kate Stewart for what she’s written here。 I know this seems like a hate review but it truly isn’t。 I’m just feeling so many different things that I may need a few months before my head is right again。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Wow what a difference from book one。 In book one we have Cecelia has a relationship with Sean and Dom albeit an extremely short relationship you are made to fall for those characters and for me especially I loved Dominic/Dom。 This book （book 2） drops you immediately into a brand new relationship with Tobias who just so happens to be Dominic's brother。 I want to state that I did not like Tobias， I thought he over stepped boundaries and was ALWAYS at Cecelia's home without permission。 Also our two Wow what a difference from book one。 In book one we have Cecelia has a relationship with Sean and Dom albeit an extremely short relationship you are made to fall for those characters and for me especially I loved Dominic/Dom。 This book （book 2） drops you immediately into a brand new relationship with Tobias who just so happens to be Dominic's brother。 I want to state that I did not like Tobias， I thought he over stepped boundaries and was ALWAYS at Cecelia's home without permission。 Also our two main characters （Sean and Dom） from book one are just gone， away for over eight months。 50 percent of the book is just Tobias and Cecelia and she is mourning no longer seeing Sean and Dom， but still happens to get all hot and bothered and fuck Tobias。。。like what！？ After 50 percent our boys from book one come back and they are pissed because Tobias sent them away and they expected her to wait for them ， not jump right onto Tobias' dick。 Idk I just hated it all， then they kill of Dominic my favorite character and from there it was just over for me。 I also feel like Cecelia was an incredibly unlikable character this whole book。 Why have book one be a relationship with these two guys， and then do a complete 180 in book two just boggles my mind。 。。。more

F*@k。 I’m ruined。 I’m a full blown addict over here。 The level of love I have for this series is indescribable。 I’m lacking the proper words that could ever due it justice。 It’s the most wild and twisted love story of all time。 But here’s the hard part…。。 guess what？ I still can’t tell you shit about this book because I can’t risk spoiling any of this story。 You must read it。 I’m not ok。 Starting The Finish Line now because I can’t help myself。 @authorkatestewart is an evil genius。

2。5 rating。 Unpopular opinion。 I struggled with this one。 I skipped and skimmed about half of the book。 I was confused almost the whole book。 The only reason I’m giving it 2。5 stars was because of Dominic’s character。 I wish he would have got a lot more time than what he did。 He was remotely the only interesting character in this series！ I will not continue and read the 3rd book。

real mixed feelings on this one

Cecelia was very annoying， her mind was always all over the place and was always confused with her feelings on each guy which was super dragging， i skimmed through a lot of her thoughts。 Overall the plot twists were so good and the spicy scenes were a 5/5。 100% recommend this series。

Ugh the suspense， the constant want and need for Cecelia to get one of her boys back。 The heart break every time they turn her away。 I love these characters and these books。 Ordered book three and it’s coming in 2 days。 I’m sure my husband and children will enjoy me being more present for the next couple days before I disappear again into the next book lol

Oh my God that was a depressing book， like 80 percent of the book had be on the verge of tears。 Definitely wasn't as good as the first book and most certainly didn't play out as I had expected。 I am invested however so I will be reading the third one at some point， but I'm going to read something happy first because I need a breather after this one。 The plot twists in this series is next level！ Oh my God that was a depressing book， like 80 percent of the book had be on the verge of tears。 Definitely wasn't as good as the first book and most certainly didn't play out as I had expected。 I am invested however so I will be reading the third one at some point， but I'm going to read something happy first because I need a breather after this one。 The plot twists in this series is next level！ 。。。more

Holy hell this book。 Ripped my heart and soul out of my chest in a way a book has NEVER done。 Only took me so long to read it because I had to put it down for a few days after the first half to pick up the pieces of my shattered heart 😭💔❤️🩹 BEST book I’ve read since I stumbled back into reading last year with the SJM universe。

I absolutely loved this book。 It tore me apart and made me feel every emotion possible。 I loved going into the series not having any idea about what the books were about and thoroughly enjoyed them， onto the third book！
