4 stars -- After having the privilege to read the 2nd book in this series through NetGalley, and thoroughly enjoying it, I just knew I had to read Tyler and Karen's story too... And I was not disappointed, it gave me all the great things that Chris and Claudia's story did, but in a totally different set of circumstances...so it wasn't just a cookie cutter copy romance.Again, this was a fantastic YA. While it had a fabulous romance going for it, in some ways the struggles that both characters were dealing with were the more important focus of the book...it just happened that they found each other while dealing with some heavy things, and came together and found solace with each other.Karen's struggles were more obvious -- dealing with the death of the only parent you've ever known, having to fit into a different family... The one that I found the most intriguing, and was kind of a background story, was dealing with a parent who's not faithful, and the impact it can have on the rest of the family...especially when you're living in a small town. I like that the author didn't shy away from that -- that her father, Will, wasn't a horrible ogre villain either, just a guy who continually makes bad choices that hurt his family. It was more realistic maybe. Because in the end things aren't completely black and white, and it's not always as easy as people want it to be. It's just not a topic that I've personally ever read about before.Strangely enough, one of my favourite secondary characters ended up being Karen's stepmother Natalie. She was in the WORST position imaginable, and she just tried so hard to do the right thing and help everyone adjust and cope. I was really happy with how her relationship with Karen developed.
