The world took everything from us.
As survivors of not only a plane crash, but two other impossible tragedies, we’d more than earned a life of peace. But time and time again, we were shown that fate had no intention of giving that to us.
Remi and I were soulmates. Plain and simple. Our love should have died in the depths of our darkness, but the sun still exists even when it’s not shining.
The secrets of our past threatened to destroy us at every turn, but for Remi, I would never stop fighting for our future.
The world took everything from us.
And we would stop at nothing until we took it all back—forever.
I was so excited to finally get my hands on The Difference Between Someday and Forever. I had big expectations for the conclusion of the gripping Difference Trilogy. Perhaps too big.
The second book ends on a heart-stopping cliffhanger, and the story picks up moments after. The situation is resolved very quickly, which leaves the rest of the book to find reasons for Remi and Bowen to not be together.
I understand why Remi would feel betrayed by the lies Bowen, her friends, and family fed her. Her journey of self-discovery seems a little extreme, though. She lost 9 months of memories, not her entire life. Never having had amnesia myself it’s hard to say, but I think I would have a pretty good understanding of my likes and dislikes and would know who I was in general, even if an accident erased a year’s worth of my memories. Remi also reserves the bulk of her resentment for Bowen, who is nothing but patient and unconditionally devoted. I could also have done without the rather contrived twist at the end.
Fortunately, there is still an air of playfulness and flirtation when Remi and Bowen are together, as well as an electric connection. It’s what made me fall in love with this couple to begin with. It’s those moments and Bowen’s sacrificial love that are the highest points in the book and what makes this a truly epic romance.
About Aly Martinez
Originally from Savannah, Georgia, USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez now lives in South Carolina with her four young children.
Never one to take herself too seriously, she enjoys cheap wine, mystery leggings, and baked feta. It should be known, however, that she hates pizza and ice cream, almost as much as writing her bio in the third person.
She passes what little free time she has reading anything and everything she can get her hands on, preferably with a super-sized tumbler of wine by her side.
I hate when I have high hopes on an ending to a trilogy or duet or series and I just don’t get them. At least it was not a complete dud for you.
True. I would still recommend the series.
At least you enjoyed the series. Sorry this one let you down just a bit.
