4.5
I absolutely loved The Way I Used to Be in January of this yesr ao it feels really nice and round in a way, to be finishing off the year with The Way I am Now.
In this book we get to see Eden after the end of the first book as she is going to college. This book is really heavy throughout but it is expected as we see Eden dealing and going theough having to testify in court about her sexual assault from book 1. We also get to see Josh as well as Eden and Josh’s relationship which made me happy ss when I read the previous book I loterally said Right Person Wrong Time, and I loved seeing these two together despite all the challenges they face.
I absolutely loved this book and it did make me really emotional throughout, the ending left me feeling a bit bittersweet thiugg and I do hope that there will be a book 3, just because I really want to know what Eden’s life is like in the future, especially after what happens in Part 4 of the book! (Trying really hard to make this review spoiler free here!)
I am giving The Way I am Now 4.5 stars and I have actually managed to order a signed personalised copy from the US which my friend is bringing over in January which I am super excited about! - I mean if someone telling you they ordered a copy from across the ocean because they love the writing so much doesnt entice you to resd it as well as the review then I don’t know what will 🤔
Moderate: Sexual violence, Sexual assault, and Sexual harassment
