About Tomorrow

A small trip from my recent reads (moving from M/M to F/M and from Lucy Lennox to Abbi Glines) with "About Tomorrow", Abbi Glines's newest addition, a short novella.

["I close my eyes as I hear him speak. I take one very long and deep breath hoping to calm the immediate butterflies that take flight in my stomach and hope to slow down the racing of my heart. The voice was slightly deeper but the timbre was one that was achingly familiar.

My actions did little to help, but then who was I kidding? A deep breath wasn't going to fix the effect he had on me and my body's inevitable reaction. Even the memories that would forever haunt me couldn't keep my emotions from triggering at the nearness of him once again.

I used to pray that I'd find the strength to move on from him, from the pain that the end carried, from the emptiness in my chest, but ultimately move on from—the loss of Creed Sullivan and the death of his sister, Cora.

The Sullivans had been the best part of my summers in New England.

Deep down, I knew my ache for all that I had lost was the reason I returned...

But I hadn't expected to see him again—especially not like this."]

The book was cute. Of course it was, Abbi wrote it. It was romantic and steamy and had its fair share of drama. 

Though, I thought it was a little too dramatic there at the end. To me, it was a little too crazy and a little unnecessary. I mean, I get it. The event I'm talking about almost mirrors the event that broke them apart in the first place. But, it was just...too much. There could have been a different, more beautiful and more symbolic way to show that they really loved each other.

I mean, I'm still going to read her stuff. I'm a loyal Abbi Army girl. I've been with her since the very beginning. Since the self-publishing and since the new book a month. I'll keep reading her new books, even if they've seemed to go down hill a bit.
