{ review } .
Note: I rated the serial as the complete series, as I read it as such.
I'm not sure how I would have felt about this story if I had to wait for each part to come out, but as a whole book in one sitting? Gosh, I loved it. I loved the angst and the anger that Amelia had for Noah, and I loved how Noah fought both himself and outside forces when it came to his love for Amelia -- the girl he loved first, and would forever love.
One of the things that stuck out the most to me in the beginning was the amount of anger Amelia had held on to when it came to Noah's betrayal when they were teens. She couldn't look at him, speak to him, speak of him -- and it had been a decade. Eventually, you'd let bygones be bygones, right? Now to with Amelia. Noah had hurt her where it hurt, and it still hurt badly.
But that's not to say that Noah hadn't walked away unscathed. The love he had for Amelia... gosh, I loved him so.
What I appreciated most about this story was that Noah and Amelia's second-chance romance began again in the first part of the three -- meaning two-thirds of the book is the two of them working on working alongside one another again, battling the same outside factors that tore them apart the first time, and oh, there's a healthy dose of suspense in there, too.
I absolutely enjoyed Amelia and Noah's story, front to back, beginning to end. The cover is lovely (I love that it's a movie poster) and the writing was so easy to follow, easy to fall in to, and easy to get lost in. I felt Amelia and Noah were very true to their ages and characterizations (aside from Amelia's great hurt at the beginning; I would have liked her to be a bit more grown up in that aspect). Then there was the fact they fell back into a relationship extremely easily -- ten years, teens to adults, there's a lot of change in that time... but that was easy for me to overlook, as I was so engrossed in everything else going on.
