Synopsis
Book Two in the USA Today bestselling Story of Us series. Live the truth... The truth about Hallie has torn Houston and Rory apart for a second time. Houston is finally unburdened of the secret his sister confided in him, but now he must deal with the aftermath. He has vowed to set things right for Rory, and he's determined to get her back. But the destruction left in the wake of Hallie's letter is not the only obstacle he must face. Houston must find a way to win Rory back by showing her their story isn't over yet. ...or live the lie. In her desperation to move past the anguish of Hallie's secret and Houston’s lies, Rory seeks solace in Liam. When Liam is transferred to another tech company in California, Rory jumps at his invitation to leave Portland, and her broken heart, behind. In California, Rory finds a friend who opens new doors for her in the literary world. But does this new friend have ulterior motives?
Four Boundless Stars
These two drive me mad! Yes Houston kept a secret and I understand that she needed to get away. But she makes one of the biggest mistakes and I could tell that it wasn't the right thing to do. The whole time I got that awkward feeling. Rory doesn't deserve to be hurt and she never expected that Houston would. But you have to move past that.
Rory is lost, I think. She's very indecisive. She doesn't want to do the wrong thing. Houston has a lot of apologizing and proving to Rory that they are destined for each other.
Honestly, the beginning I thought this book is so annoyingly frustrating. I think because she was with Liam. Hello? That is not cool. The writer does an amazing job conveying the emotion. Also, the narrators of this story, you can tell they have such a passion. To make you feel that awkwardness, heart pumping, the aching for that one person.
The way it ended I wanted to know more, though I could give two shits about Liam.
