Description:
Reagan Landry is months away
from college graduation, but instead of excitement, she's frozen by the fear of
letting go — of her ex-boyfriend, of the comfortable life she created for
herself in Portland, of the years-long search for her older sister who abandoned
her as a homeless teen. When she’s finally forced to decide what's next, Reagan
is met with another complication — her ex’s best friend, Noah Burke, who seems
determined that she embraces what could be instead of what has been.
Drunkenly hooking up with his best friend’s ex, Reagan, is a mistake, but being secretly in love with her is so much worse when things seem one-sided. A disenchanted frat boy about to fail out of college, Noah has been living out someone else’s dream after a horrible accident five years earlier. Just when he thinks he's lost any chance he has with Reagan, she surprises him by agreeing to spend the summer together at his family's ranch in Montana.
And suddenly what started out as a complication between them becomes serious...until the past starts ripping apart their future.

Natasha’s Experience:
“Falling apart was never some slow wreck for us. We were combustible from the start.”
If you’re looking for a New Adult read that gives you all of
the feels, then you need to meet Reagan Landry and Noah Burke. I read the first
book in this series, BETWEEN EVERYTHING AND US, and immediately knew I had
found a gem in the New Adult world. Rebecca Paula left me reeling after that
story so I was beyond ready for ANYTHING MORE THAN NOW. Going into this story,
I was definitely skeptical; Reagan isn’t exactly likeable. She’s stone-cold one
second, then a fiery ball of rage the next. Noah is a mystery you can’t wait to
figure out.
“I was always running away, always searching for something. There has
to be something more to life than what I’m chasing.”
Noah and Reagan have a tumultuous friendship/relationship. I
loved every single one of their interactions. Noah is patient, yet wants what
he wants and isn’t afraid of letting Reagan know that he wants her. Reagan isn’t
ready for love – she’s not looking to find anything that isn’t in New York.
That’s her next step after college: head to New York and make a name for
herself.
“That’s the thing about Reagan—she’s full of fire not because she’s
spirited, but because she wants to watch the world burn.”
What’s wild about this story is how absolutely layered it
is. Both Noah and Reagan have a past riddled with dark secrets that they have
no intention of letting see the light. They are both prideful and stubborn. But
when they let themselves love and be loved, it’s magic.
“Love, lust…it’s all fleeting. It wanes, it ends, it vanishes. Then
there’s Noah.”
