London is a sweet, down to earth and caring person. She might close off sometimes but will let you know how she is feeling. She is dealing with body dysmorphia and while she struggles time and again, she has good people batting in her corner to help her through it.
Connor has come a long way since we met him in If I Surrender. He has seen the impact of his actions and while it remains a part of him, he is moving forward to be the best version of himself he can be. He shows his genuine concern for his friends and family and isn’t afraid to speak his mind or take control where necessary. This definitely adds to his redemption story.
These two! We hear about the time they spent together while recovering at Sandywood and see just how tied to the hip they are. Connor will be there for London no matter what, keeping her safe, healthy, and confident, and even when London has her own struggles, she is there to support Connor when he needs and whenever he needs a reminder of the kind and tender person he is despite his past. They can read each other well and are patient with the other. They communicate and implicitly trust the other. No matter what, these two are sticking together through thick and thin, and we are totally here for it!
We also see the return of Hadley, Piper, Grayson and Mac as well as their parents. I love how they had London and Conner’s back, especially when Hadley and Piper team up to show London that she’s every bit of an important person she is. We get some humor from this gang and see how close their bonds are.
London also has to deal with events that for several occasion had me wondering where the tissues were. Same with Connor. This isn’t a long read, but their story is definitely one that hits you hard, as you see them grow and develop and help each other through it.
Overall, this has been a fantastic series to read and you’ll definitely being thinking of it long after the covers close. I wonder where our characters will go from here?.
