Drew and Fable's story is far from over. Monica Murphy
returns with the second part of their story in SECOND CHANCE
BOYFRIEND, giving Drew another chance of fixing the wrongs
he made in the last book. That being said, there is a
cliffhanger ending in the first book of the series.
Therefore, it's important to read this series in order.
After the big mistake that Drew made, Fable is trying to go
on with her life. However, their paths cross once again,
making it impossible to forget what they had.
The touch of angst is well suited to this book and
definitely made me connect with the characters on a deeper
level. However, I would have loved to have seen more of
their
thoughts, delving into the deeper workings of their minds to
really understand their characters inside out. I find that
Murphy's writing flows very well, creating an ease as you
read. Yet it doesn't always penetrate past the surface,
hitting right at the matter which I think would have
improved this book. It also lacks an epilogue and after
everything that Drew and Fable have been through, I think it
is needed to really solidify the fact that this is where
they truly want to be.
Murphy's authorial voice is very well suited to New Adult.
It never once felt forced or contrived. Drew's POV in
particular was really fascinating to me. His vulnerabilities
are well displayed in this book and how he overcomes them is
always interesting to read about. Fable becomes an important
part of that process.
All in all, SECOND CHANCE BOYFRIEND is a well-done and
satisfying follow-up to its predecessor.
From breakout New Adult author Monica Murphy comes the
exhilarating conclusion to Drew and Fable’s story—the
star-crossed young romance that began in One Week
Girlfriend.
Lost. Everything in my life can be summed up by
that
one sickening word. My football coach blames me for our
season-ending losses. So does the rest of the team. I
wasted
two whole months drowning in my own despair, like a
complete
loser. And I lost my girlfriend—Fable Maguire, the only
girl
who ever mattered—because I was afraid that being with me
would only hurt her.
But now I realize that I’m the one who’s truly lost
without
her. And even though she acts like she’s moved on and
everything’s fine, I know she still thinks about me just
as
much as I think about her. I know her too well. She’s so
damn vulnerable, all I want to do is be there to help her
.
. . to hold her . . . to love her.
I just need her to give me one more chance. We may be
lost
without each other, but together, we’re destined to find
a
love that lasts forever.
