Synopsis via Goodreads: I’m not supposed to be here.
Death has come for me more than once, and each time it’s been a boy who’s stood between me and my final breath.
I called him Christopher when he saved me as a child. When he came into my life again, only months ago, I knew him as Wes. Just as he did the time before, he disappeared the moment he made sure I was out of harm’s way; as if I didn’t need any more saving.
This time, though, death left me with a reminder of how powerful it is. I know it meant to strip me of my spirit again, but it failed.
Even so, I know I need Wes to survive. Our souls are woven together somehow, our every breath in sync. I feel it, even though everyone says I shouldn’t.
The world thinks he’s missing. His loved ones don’t want to believe he’s dead.Only I know just how special he is.
I’m going to find him and bring him home, where he belongs. Together, we’ll face impossible—we’ll rewrite our ending.
And when the bad guys come calling, we will always win.
After the ending of A Boy Like You left me for dead, I was dying to get my hands on the sequel to see what would happen next. There were so many questions floating around in my head and I just wanted answers to all of them. I was also curious to see if any of my theories would end up being true because some of them felt like a long shot, but I was secretly hoping things would pan out the way I wanted them to.
A Girl Like Me picks up where A Boy Like You left off as Joss and Kyle set out on the road to find Wes and hopefully convince him to return home. While on the search for Wes, they make a few stops along the way and finally get some answers about Wes’ past and they also find out more about Joss’ mother. With this new information in hand, Joss starts to fill in the missing pieces and things start to become clearer. When Joss and Kyle find Wes and tell him what they know, he is not easily convinced. He believes that his presence is a threat to Joss’ safety , but little does he know that he is the only one that can save her from in the end.
WARNING!
If you haven’t read A Boy Like You yet, then I highly suggest you stop reading this review because I’m going to be discussing some major spoilers that will ruin this series for you! I’m also going to try to keep this review as spoiler free for A Girl Like Me, but I make no promises.
