Publisher's Summary:
In the best-selling sequel to Find You in the Dark, A. Meredith Walters continues the emotional story of Maggie, Clay, and the power of unconditional love.
How do you keep going when you feel like your life is over?
Maggie never thought shed see Clay again. So, she attempts to put her life back together after her heart has been shattered to pieces. Moving on and moving forward, just as Clay wanted her to. Clay never stopped thinking of Maggie. Even after ripping their lives apart and leaving her behind to get the help he so desperately needed. He is healing - slowly. But his heart still belongs to the girl who tried to save him.
When a sudden tragedy brings Maggie and Clay face-to-face again, nothing is the same. Yet some things never change. Can the darkness that threatened to consume them be transformed into something else and finally give them what they always wanted? And can two people who fought so hard to be together, finally find their happiness? Or will their demons and fear drive them apart for good?
The thing about love is that even when it destroys you, it has a way of mending what is broken. And in the shadows, you can still see the light.
Members Reviews:
Again, just...WOW
"The thing about the shadows is that they're not all darkness. You need to have light to have shadows. So just look for it."
This series has definitely taken it's toll on my heart. Never have I cried so much reading a book before (well, that's not entirely true. Colleen Hoover & A.L. Jackson ALWAYS send me to Sob-Fest). The only thing that saved me from a complete and total meltdown was the light at the end of the tunnel. The road there however, almost broke me.
'Forgive.
Such a small word. Only seven letters but they carried the weight of the world.
Seven letters between me and the one thing I wanted most in my life.
But I needed it. Craved my redemption deep in my bones.'
This book picks up a couple of months after B1 leaves off. Clay is in Florida at Grayson Center & Maggie is not coping so well, especially after receiving Clay's "Dear John letter". Fighting depression, all she does is school, track, work. She avoids any kind of socializing if at all possible, she's lost weight & everyday is a fight to not drown in her sorrow & loneliness. She hasn't seen Clay since the Hospital & hasn't heard anything from him since his letter. She doesn't even know where he is. She's hurt, angry & the constant source of gossip at school. And just when she starts to pull herself together, tragedy strikes & flips her world upside down again.
'I was trying. Honestly. But as with everything in my life anymore...it was just a struggle. Nothing was easy and normal anymore and it was difficult putting all the pieces together into a picture that made sense.'
'I tried my damndest to seem unaffected by it. No one had know that every mention of his name made me die a little bit more. I wore a fake smile while I tried to become that other Maggie again. The one who would never run head first off of an angsty cliff of teenage drama.'
In this book we get treated to Clay's POV as well as Maggie's. If you thought watching him struggle in the first book was hard, it's ten times worse living it through him. But he really is trying hard to make himself better.
