Review: Remembering Everly by J.L. Berg

Description

After a stunning cliffhanger ending in Forgetting August, USA Today bestselling author J.L. Berg delivers the happily ever after that fans have been waiting for in the sequel, REMEMBERING EVERLY. 

After two years in a coma, August Kinkaid has forgotten the darkness in his past. But his past hasn’t forgotten him. His beautiful former fiancé, Everly, remembers every tumultuous moment of their stormy relationship. The sizzling passion. The web of lies. And the terrible secret Everly’s been hiding since her last fateful night with August.

Now the truth is out and August remembers everything. As his long-buried memories come flooding back, he begins to understand why Everly would want to move on with her life. Why she would give her heart to another man. And why August should try to forget her once and for all.

But he can’t give up on the only woman he’s ever loved. Even if he has to reopen old wounds—and face the darkest demons of his past—August will do whatever it takes for a second chance with Everly. He let her slip away once. He’s not about to spend the rest of his life remembering Everly when he could be holding her in his arms forever . . .

Review:

Okay so after book ends in cliffhanger this one picks up maybe a few weeks after and I was ready to dive in deep with drama of Everly and August. Again this couple who is meant to be together is separated by Augusts decisions but finally he is starting to get his memories back but they are coming slowly. 

So Everly once again is getting married but at least the is farther along in the planning then she was in the first book. I still don't get how easily she goes back and forth between these two men and honestly it was exhausting reading it. 

August is fighting to remain the new August but the old one keeps making appearances. I get the reasons of why he wants Everly away from but hey shouldn't she have a say in what she wants when it involves them as a couple?! 

Just like the first book I found myself skimming paragraphs because it didn't make or break the story. Somethings just felt unnecessary. Everly is trying to get over August yet again but now is questioning her relationship with Ryan and if it's really what she wants. Before she said yes again she should have really had more time to think things through. 

What really bothered me about this book was the goon aka Trent. Since August had no memory of his life before why did he give in so easily to Trent? Why believe him? That part just didn't make sense to me. 

Overall this series was just okay for me. I was torn between loving it and wanting to give up. The story did have some good parts but I found myself at times just wanting it to be over. I just think these two books weren't right for me in the end.
