My rating: 5 of 5 stars
After reading The Future of our Past it took me a while to start reading this book (thus the seemingly 5 day book read). I was wrapped in the emotion of the first book that it left me quite breathless.
I prepared myself for the emotional roller coaster involving this book. This time I think that Ryan gets to be the center of the book and reciprocate the love Julia has always given her so unconditionally (although they've always done this but I think more so in this book). With the challenges of their current situation you see how much Ryan longs for Julia and what they had and the fear of it and her being lost forever.
Although their love for each other was never really lost since they still had the connection ever present when their eyes met and spent time together. It was just a matter of how they were going to deal with their current situation and a choice to move forward or linger on their past. Each of them having different views on the matter which creates a gap for the both of them.
It was a love remembered through new experiences embraced in challenges and obstacles. The book was about love surpassing & withstanding every situation. Its a story about love that keeps on giving and giving until sometimes it hurts but still you do not stop you just give more.
"I can live through anything as long as I have you"-- lines like these tug my heart
I fell asleep holding my phone reading this book with tears in my eyes. I am so amazed how Ms. Aymes made this book and the connection between Ryan and Julia being so very present despite the distant memories. Even as I am writing this review recalling moments of this book tears are filling my eyes. This was probably the statement that defines Ryan and Julia and the line that made me sob like a freaking baby:
"Without you, I am only half of myself... with you, I am whole"
I cannot wait for A Love Like This... I cannot be more excited for what is next for Ryan and Julia. Oh and it wouldn't be so mad to see more of "Caveman Ryan" LOL! Ms. Aymes thank you again for such a wonderful book. I cannot thank you enough and I will never tire of saying it :)
