This book is probably one of the best exes get back together books ever. I love how much resistance there was from Lana. Lana is definitely a relatable character and I loved her. Her and Greg’s relationship was super cute- I loved their story.
This novel is book 2 in the “Second Chance” series. I love how it picked up right from book 1. It gave it such a great vibe.

I loved this heartwarming story. It picks up right where Sylvia and Wes’ story ends. Which is great because you’re not wondering what happened in the meantime.
Greg is a total alpha male. He knows what he wants and sets out to get it. His relationships with the whole group was open and embracing. So beautiful that their friendships have lasted over the years.
Lana is such a strong character. She’s been hurt in the past and is reluctant to open her heart again, which I think is
Great because it’s true to life. A lot of the situations and emotions in this book can be seen as true to life and I think that makes the story and characters more relatable.
Watching Greg pull out all the stops was endearing, it showed the depth of his feelings for Lana. I was so rooting for these two characters. They deserved the happy ever after they’d envisioned in their youth.
Ireland Loralei is a new author to me and it is with heartfelt certainty that I can say this was a truly beautiful story. It invited me in with open arms.
Would definitely recommend.
5 stars without a doubt.

Book 2 of the series and probably best you read them in order.
Greg and Lana were high school sweethearts and upon graduation decided it was best to breakup. Lana was off to the University of Florida and Greg was going to Duke University. They both knew that the chances of young love surviving the distance and time apart was not high. While they loved each other they had to let each other go.
Now they are back together for their friends' wedding and the feelings are still very much there. Even though they both had been in other relationships, no one compared to Lana for Greg or to Greg for Lana.
Can these two have a second chance?
Would be 4 stars but the typos, missing words, and grammatical errors brought it down for me.

This is a new to me author while I did enjoy this story it's book 2 in this series and I would advise you to start at the beginning as it's characters are all close friends and appear in this book as well. That being said Starting Again is a good, fast paced story featuring Greg and Lana. After suffering a breakup that neither of them really wanted, Greg and Lana now have a second chance. These high school sweethearts are finally reunited at a friend's wedding and the pain from that breakup all those years ago is still just as heartbreaking as it was then. Their pain is so intense you can almost feel it along with them. It's definitely worth the read.

This book took me away to a place in which I could relax and just enjoy a good book. It moves along at a great pace making for an easy read. The characters are awesome and you feel as though you know them and you want to be there for them, no matter what they have to do. This story has to be read, it will grab you and keep you reading until the end. This book needs to be read, no doubt about it.

I have never read this author before and it won’t be the last one. I would recommend reading the books in order though to truly understand the characters. This book is about Greg and Lana. They dated but then broke up but didn’t really want to. They see each other at a friends wedding and the sparks still fly. This book will keep you reading until the end!

Great love story written by Ireland Lorelei. This is the second book in the series so I advise you to read the first book so that you know what the back story is. This story is another great story about high school sweethearts that end up together years later.
