    About this audiobook

    From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Starts with Us, It Ends with Us, and All Your Perfects. Sometimes two people have to fall apart to realize just how much they belong together.

    As Layken and Will’s emotion-packed story continues, a stunning and unforeseen revelation about Will’s past leaves them questioning everything that they thought they knew about each other. With the foundation of their relationship at risk, they must decide whether they are willing to fight for a future together, or to retreat back into solitude and heartache.

    How far does Will have to go to prove to Layken his love for her will last forever? It will require something truly extraordinary to keep this couple together, and the decisions they make and the answers they find will change not only their lives, but the lives of everyone around them.

      I don’t think I’ve ever kept a New Year’s resolution. But they’re fun to talk about. It occurs to me that it’s difficult keeping New Year’s resolutions because we make them too challenging. We are but humble humans after all. So this year, I’m making

      I love this series so far! I love that the second book is a continued story but told by will. Usually the second book in Colleen Hoover series are told of the same story through another characters eyes. Definitely one of my favorite series so far besides It ends with us!

    • 5/5
      I'm addicted to every book Colleen Hover writes! I am always spending my time buried in the characters
    • 5/5
      Enjoyed the 2book about Lake and will. Thanks for the awesome audio books.
    • 5/5
      Good Book I enjoyed it. I would recommend it anyone.
    • 5/5
      The book is great!!!! But the narrator isn't very good. He's so bland!! Sorta sounds like Napolian Dynamites brother sometimes!!
    • 5/5
      That was butterfly-ing amazing!! Anyone who isn’t reading this series is surely missing out on the love story of the century!
    • 1/5
      I loved the first book but this one really irritates me. Will is almost a narcissist and literally through out the book makes every little thing about him. It just gave big creep vibes by halfway thru and I really struggled to finish
    • 5/5
      Love all her books !! She’s such an amazing writer !
    • 4/5
      Solid book. Character development was very good. Young yet very mature characters and very likable.
    • 2/5
      Very rarely do I find a book so boring and annoying as this one. I found it lacking a compelling plot and I was annoyed by the characters. Maybe a teenager would find themselves interested without life experience to know better. As an older adult I found the entire thing ridiculous and the "romantic" behavior basically terrible.
    • 5/5
      I absolutely loved this book! Read it in a day!! Couldn’t put it down!!!
    • 2/5
      I didn't like it. I was slow and boring. It described very ordinary life and struggles. I finished it because I cared about main heroes but it's not as good as Slammed. Narrator speaks too slow.
    • 5/5
      So glad that the author gifted her fans with the continuing story of Will & Lyke. Told from Will’s point of view this time, the story continues as their relationship faces new tests and new triumphs. New characters add to the book, proving once again sometimes the family we choose is the most special.
    • 5/5
      Loved this love story. I couldn’t put it down and loved the audiobook reader as he really goes above and beyond so you feel like you are in the room with the characters.
    • 2/5
      Great book, terrible narrator. He's probably a nice guy, but his style of reading made the book feel so monotone. I liked the book.
    • 5/5
      These are so sweet and innocent love compared to some of Hoovers other novels but I enjoy them all
    • 5/5
      I didn't like the first novel in this series as I felt it was too high schoolish and young teen but I absolutely loved this second one.
    • 5/5
      Sweet. Emotional. Cute.
      The same as first book this was nice follow story and nice to see how main characters agre growing in to young adults, how that are managing responsibilities that not everyone have at that age.
    • 3/5
      Naturally I would want to hear the sequel involving Layken and Will. I enjoyed the book just out of curiosity of these two. Worth a listen. Personally, I enjoyed the narrator.
    • 1/5
      This book was a disappointment for me. I’ve read a few of Colleen Hover’s novels and really liked them. This one had no real climax, and I found the characters annoying. I kept listening waiting for it to get better, but I was never in a mode where “I can’t wait” to turn my book on.
