“There’s a pre-Jonathan era and post-Jonathan era, and I don’t want to admit how fulfilling the second one is.”
In this book we follow Jonathan King and Aurora Harper, and how they navigate a ”relationship”, but also the aftermath of Aurora’s father coming back into the picture. I really liked Harris in this book, I find him so funny, and I would have liked more scenes with Aurora and Harris together. I also loved how Aurora helped Jonathan’s relationship with Aiden, Levi and Ethan - or at least work on them. What I missed in this book was communication, and while both the characters explained why they liked each other so much, I’m not sure how much I believed in it. It felt so much like an infatuation, more from Auroras than Jonathan. Jonathan explained the difference between Aurora and Alicia, why he really felt that Aurora was a good match for him. But I don’t know, it felt that Aurora just liked Jonathan because he helped her understand her worth and live with her fear. That is good, but for as strong as Aurora is, I don’t think it was showed as much in this book.
