He’s a bit of a dawg in the first story but my sense was that he didn’t make promises he couldn’t keep either. (I do admit that for some reason I thought Bridger was his last name until I read this book). Both gave me the happy book sigh and both had me glued to the pages.īridger McCaulley appeared in The Year We Fell Down but he didn’t feel like merely sequel bait there. The point may be moot anyway, because there’s not a huge difference between “really good” and “really really good”. Anecdotally, those who enjoyed the first book definitely enjoyed the second as well, although it seems like a 50/50 split as to which was the favourite. What worked for me (and what didn’t): I didn’t think it would happen that I would like the second book better than the first, but it did. * Warning: Mild spoilers for The Year We Fell Down* And if they can’t learn to trust one another now, the families who let them down will take everything they’ve struggled to keep. But when grim developments threaten them both, going it alone just won’t work anymore. The two form a tentative relationship based on the understanding that some things must always be held back. The only bright spot in his week is the few stolen hours he spends with Scarlet. Protecting his sister means a precarious living arrangement and constant deception. But a sobering family crisis takes that all away. Even if it means lying to the boy she’s falling for.īridger McCaulley is a varsity hockey star known for being a player both on and off the ice. Clutching a shiny new student ID - with a newly minted name on it - she leaves it all behind. But college will be Scarlet’s fresh start. It’s a safe bet that Scarlet is the only first year at Harkness College who had to sneak past TV news trucks parked on her front lawn just to leave town. Now the shock has worn off, but not the horror. Scarlet Crowley’s life was torn apart the day father was arrested for unspeakable crimes.
What it’s about: (from Goodreads) She’s hiding something big.
Why I read it: After I read The Year We Fell Down I had such a good book hangover, I bought this and the sequel/spin-off novella as well, and proceeded to glom.
