Readers of Love Me, Love Magnetic Hearts will be eager to continue James and June’s tumultuous love story.

Perfect for fans of steamy, slow-burn angsty romances featuring brooding leads with troubled pasts.

June White realizes that everything she thought she knew about her new friends was wrong. After moving to California, she discovers the hallways of her high school hide lies and appearances are worse than deceiving. The only person she can really trust is the one person she never thought she the brooding but sexy James Hunter. And as they grow closer, June’s heartbreak over William fades. 

For the first time, James talks to June openly and honestly, and without any desire to drive her away. Even as the truth emerges and William continues to battle his demons, June is still torn. Did James try to keep her and William apart to protect her, as he claims? Or are his feelings for her more than he can admit? Eventually, it’s up to June to choose—William or James. 

But as James and June draw ever closer, even more secrets about James’s past are revealed, including one that could destroy the fragile happiness they are creating.

This YA romance is definitely a slow burn. June finds herself caught between James and Will in a messy love triangle that kept me going back and forth. Both guys are wild cards, but James is on a whole different level. He’s blunt, unpredictable, and honestly a bit of a bully, but he’s also brutally honest with June, which is exactly what pulls her toward him.

As the story unfolds, June gets pulled deeper into James’s dangerous world while still feeling the push and pull between the two boys. The story has a lot of layers, and even when the drama made my head spin, the writing kept me hooked. I definitely wanted to keep reading just to see where everything was headed.

Highlights:
YA slow-burn romance
Messy, intense love triangle
Layered story that keeps you reading to find out what happens next.

tengo exactamente el mismo problema que con el primero. el libro está bien, pero si me preguntaran de qué se trata específicamente, no tengo ni idea. probablemente es porque es una saga, y falta mucho para que termine, pero estos dos libros dan vueltas y vueltas en lo mismo. point extra porque no es una mierda como la película, y también porque POR FIN toma protagonismo james hunter ( lo único que quería en el primer libro. )

I finished reading part 1 way before watching the movie. I really enjoyed the book and the movie. I’m about to read
part 2. I want to see what happens in the love triangle and see what happens with these characters. I really enjoyed part 1 and I’m excited to read part 2 in this series.

Ugh. I had really high hopes when movie came out. You could tell it had a great storyline but this drags on forevvvver with too many characters and I just couldn’t get into it. I didn’t even finish. I skipped. It was bad.

Maybe it’s the translation so a lot got lost because it goes on and on until the last maybe 70 pages . And it was very repetitive
