My Thoughts
I read the first book Come Undone and fell in love with it. I was anticipating the next book and had high expectation for it... I can say that Come Alive didn't disappoint me!
To be honest I didn't like Olivia in this book.. sigh..I know she has some big issues and I feel for her.. I really do.. but this woman cannot make up her own damn mind! From the first book, we knew that Olivia is not in love with Bill and I believe it's the same for him too. I've been rooting for Olivia's happiness since book one but she frustrates me to no end! All she had to do is divorce Bill! If she could just make the right decisions, all three of them won't be so damn miserable! Sorry for my rant, but I just hate this kind of heroines.
I feel sorry for my baby David.. It was pretty obvious he's so in love with Jessica.. but darn the woman being so stubborn!
Come Alive is more darker and intense than the first book... It has so much angst that I felt so many emotions on me.. and even though half of the book is me wanting to strangle Olivia, I thoroughly enjoyed it! The writing is well written and flawless that I had a hard time putting this down.
“Of course it’s you. You are my home.”
The ending was okay... it was a let down in my opinion. A decent closure and a nice HEA epilogue would have been great.
I heard there will be a third book..but not sure.. I'm kinda lost here.
I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
