I liked this one but not as much as the first book. My favorite part was that this book takes a look at what happens AFTER the happily ever after and had great disability rep in the form of life living with a traumatic brain injury.

I didn't love the love triangle part of the plot. I honestly could have done without that and would have rather had more interactions between Josh and Gemma, they seemed to be apart more than together through this whole book.

Great as an audiobook narrated by Erin Mallon! Much thanks to NetGalley and the author for an early ALC in exchange for my honest review!

This was a DNF about 30% in. I just felt this tom com was for me or.my taste. Characters were great but it just didnt please me enough to finish

Okay I’m a sucker for second chance romance stories, and this audiobook was too cute! I loved it! Highly recommend

I loved book one; I loved book two as well! I love Josh and Gemma. This book was a rollercoaster. I sent my friend a gif from Anchorman of the “IM IN A GLASS CASE OF EMOTION” because that’s how I felt. I have more to say about the plot but spoilers so I will keep them to myself.

I also wanted to add that I love Erin Mallon as a narrator. She’s does a great job and she has an excellent male character voice as well. Always excited to see that she is the narrator.

Thank you Net Galley for an audio ARC! I absolutely love this series. This one is my favorite. I hope there are more coming!

I’m going to be honest here. I wasn’t that excited to read this book because I felt like it wasn’t necessary; the way the first book ended was perfect, so why a second book.

BUT, once I started reading it, I realized how much I missed Gemma and Josh, their love for each other and their banter.

I didn’t expect the book to take such a turn. But it was soo good. It was amazing to see Gemma learn how to love Josh in different ways. And their interactions with their baby? So adorable!!!

Overall, it was a great experience ❤️

Thank you Sarah, Netgalley and Swift & Lewis Publishing for sending me an ARC of this book!

For every broken heart there is a captivating journey. Sarah Ready takes emotions on the ultimate wild ride with Josh and Gemma. From quirky romance to haunting love story, what develops into wrought iron finds itself teetering on broken glass. The beauty of storytelling is not the story itself, but the way it makes you feel. Through every bump and bruise, there is always a glimmer of something beautiful. Josh and Gemma: The Second time Around takes life by the heart and exposes it's soul.

I didn’t like book 1 and for some reason I felt compelled to give this one a try. While I still didn’t really enjoy Gemma as a character, I did like this a lot better !! I thought they had great growth and I loved that this wasn’t a traditional romance highlighting all of the aspects of falling in love, but rather dealt with the real life that follows !
