But most of us knew them as the Lost Boys. When You Come Back To Me by Emma Scott is now live!Īt Santa Cruz Central High School, they called them the misfits, the outcasts, the weirdos. Holden and River's emotional and heart-wrenching journey to love, redemption, and their happy ever after. Six bright stars.įrom USA Today bestselling author comes the second book in the Lost Boys series of interconnected standalones. Thanks for this one Emma, Holden and River are perfect, and so is this book. Honestly, the author just does a fantastic job telling us the story it’s beautiful.ĭid you read anything I wrote above? There is nothing for this section!Įmma Scott slaps me across the face and laughs at my dislike for NA with When You Come Back to Me. The secondary characters are great and build a solid foundation without taking away from the story. Yes, I was crying over River as well, noticing a pattern here? But where Holden’s past is broken and sad, River has had storybook life, and it’s breaking, which makes it painful. Then you come in with River’s backstory and again so so so good. I love when fictional characters who might not be everyone’s heroes end up being someone to aspire to, and that’s Holden.

Holden’s story is devastating to the point I was in tears most of the book, but his bravery to overcome it is amazing. Together, these two should make zero sense, and that’s why they make all the sense in the world. His snarky wit is so wrong is charming, and even when he’s insulting other characters, you can’t help but fall in love with him. Holden is screwed up bad boy meets vulnerable poet all in one. River is the all American quarterback with pressure weighing down his shoulders and a heap of stress for a high school senior. Seriously though, the hero’s are amazing. Why everything of course, it’s six stars, all the love, for all the parts. We’ve got another six star read of the year my friends and I am so excited to tell you about it. The thought and feeling she so obviously put into this book oozed from the pages. Man it’s like she knows my dislike for NA romance and took my love for MM and blew it all out of the water.
