*Spoiler alert*
Woow! the only way I can describe what I feel is that's it is exactly what Gray is feeling right now, I'm not happy about the ending but perhaps they will meet again, and it's just uuugh a wonderful book.
I loved it even more than the first one!
I can't wait for the next one!
"I stare out at the sunny horizon. And I’m surprised because I’m waiting for tears or pain in my chest but, instead, something heavy is lifting. It isn’t quite closure, but Lenny was right, I do feel better. I’m...more

Omfg just no. Omg the ending would have been perfect if for the fact that after that you read that there will be a sequel. I was at this point of no return from a full blown cry session and now I'm kind of sad because I feel spoiled by the fact that this wasn't the definite ending.
I think I liked the first one much more than this one because we spend so much time seeing Dylan and Gray reconnect with each other and they've already spent so much time apart. I'm not saying it isn't right because i...more

"We can't force it. We need to leave this one to fate."
some things are so beautiful they are hard to look at. they are so stunning, so perfect - that you wonder if it's real. If it could be real or more wonderful. Your heart races, your mouth raises in a smile...
This one IS that beautiful but it is also so sad.
This story broke. my. heart.
and even though I loved it, I loved being with Gray again - I want to hate them both for being so mature and grown up and non-selfish.

I started this 2 hours before I left campus to go home. And I finished it on the bus on my way to the LRT station, the book was really short, only 113 ebook pages.
Now.
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ENDING
I honestly didn't expect that twist at all. I just gaped at my phone and people started to get off the bus and I couldn't move because WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THAT
IT DID NOT JUST END LIKE THAT OMG

I was cringing for the first half of this book. But when they work things out, it's back to happy feelings and yay, this is amazing. I liked this book because there are the regular teenage mistakes and blunders but the author really lets you understand it all.
Dylan and Gray are not on the same page. He thinks she's abandoned him and Dylan thinks Gray is happily living his life. They both know they're in love but Gray has decided he prefers boring and reliable over spontaneous and flighty.

Tears. Tears. Tears. I passed up on sleep to finish this in one go.
I didn't enjoy Dylan here during the first few chapters. I felt like she was being selfish. But then I realized Gray had been a tad bit selfish too. Anyway, it's confusing to explain right now because I haven't sleep in more than 12 hours and after finishing the story, I've become suddenly so emo.

Just saying this now SIMPLY AMAZING. Gray and Dylan define soulmates and true love.
So I bought this Sunday morning and finished... well Sunday morning. Needless to say I COULD NOT PUT THIS DOWN! Not that I would've because I love... LOVE Gray and Dylan.
I had no idea Katie was writing a sequel. Not many authors continue contemp stories which I find a shame because sometimes us readers what to know what happens after that HEA - not that Dylan and Gray had the average HEA, but they were close - esp...more

Sometimes you fall in love with the most unconventional person. At the most unreasonable timing in your life. At the worst point in your life. And despite all of that, it was exactly what you needed. This is the basic story of the relationship between Gray and Dylan in the first book of this series, First Comes Love.
And all I can say is, the first book is no comparison to how this book completely shattered me.

give me a minute to stop crying *goes into a final sob*
if First Comes Love was awesome this is double awesome. This broke my heart in pieces over these two stubborn people.
This book starts about 6 months after the events in First Comes Love. Dylan is again on one of her journeys to find herself. Gray starts to get angry over this long period of travel and without keeping contact. He starts to move on but unfortunately (or is it fortunately?) Dylan makes and re-appearance in hi...more

This was an awesome sequel to First Comes Love. I LOVED it! I love Dylan and Gray. I totally appreciate who they are as individuals and when they’re together WOW!
When Gray says to Dylan after the “dinner attack” (as Dylan put it)…“Who cares what other people think? Don’t let other people’s opinions make you second guess what’s important to you. You can’t make everybody happy, believe me.” He goes on to say… “You’re an abnormality. People get scared when they come across something that doesn’t b...more

I'm not great at reviews. At all. So here is an attempt to do to this book justice somehow.
Five stars aren't enough for this book. Let's say if I could I'll give it 2 thousand stars... Because that was AMAZING!
So Second Chance had officially joined his big brother First Comes Love on My Top 10 Favorite-of-All-Time-Books Bookshelf.

Katie Kacvinsky's novels, Awaken, First Comes Love, and now Second Chance are some of my favorite books. She is an amazing writer with a huge amount of talent!!
When First Comes Love came out we all assumed that it was going to be a stand alone book. Well, thank goodness Katie didn't do that to us! When she announced that Second Chance was coming out I think I actually screamed!

If it wasn't for that little note from Ms. Katie about having a third book in the end I might have been still in bed bawling my eyes out.
Review to come. :)

I've just read the first book in the series about the two teenagers Dylan and Gray in German and when I found out that there is a sequel to it I was a little bit confused at first because I thought that there actually was no need for a sequel to this story but then I was too eager to know what Dylan and Gray are experiencing in this book...well, my first thought was right. There was no NEED for a sequel.

This story is so bittersweet yet so good. I knew right from the start where it go. It did nothing but made me want to savor the book a little while longer before it's all gone.
If you have not read the first book, First Comes Love you should. Second Chance comes a few months later and all it not that way it was before. This is one of those stories that is so emotional you can't help but invest in each character personally. I adored getting to get into the characters shoes and see each of their po...more

What the hell is going on with the sequels to every book I read? Seriously.
It was a bit dissapointing at times but mostly annoying. Everything was so damn perfect it made me mad. Gray is all emo and a stoner ever since he 'broke up' with Dylan (6 months ago and they dated for one summer? The fuck? I'm sorry, I just don't understand.) Dylan is in Europe, traveling and being her crazy self and actually believes she and Gray are okay and that he'll be her future husband.

I think reading this book should come with a warning label:
CAUTION - side effects may include excessive swooning, accompanied by smiling from time to time, constant fool grinning, reminiscing steamy sweet scenes, withdrawal from the real world for awhile (sleeping and eating may be forgotten), endless bookmarking quotable quotes from the two awesome characters and deep sighs of contentment.

omg...this is so beautiful..
Does, please, anybody know when will the 3rd book come out?
Seriously, this has been keeping me up all night! It's owning me!
Will they meet again (albeit obviously they will)?
How will they meet up? Under what circumstances this time around?
Will either of them actually get to find someone else?
And the most important question of all..
Will they end up together?! Like, finally, ultimately end up married and settled? Or is that even possible?! Espe...more

well.. the ending sucked...
“Because from my personal experience, Dylan, falling in love with you is like jumping out of an airplane with no parachute. It's fun as hell, a rush of adrenaline, until the inevitable crash comes where you leave and my heart splatters all over the ground.”
though Dylan may seem selfish, i dont blame her..Gray's right she is like a butterfly, they are not meant to be caught.. But that didnt mean i was happy how things ended. My eyes teared up at the end. Ive still got...more

Second Chance is the sequel to First Comes Love. I'd read First Comes Love a few months back and thought it was a stand alone with a decent ending. Though it did leave you wanting for more. So I was pleasantly surprised to see Second Chance come out. I really liked Gray and Dylan so I was quite excited to see where they're stories were leading to.

But what is life without love? It's what inspires us, what drives us, what keeps our bodies warm on cold nights and our hearts soft when they want to harden with loneliness. So why hold it back?
It is very rare to find a book where you shed tears not because of its bitter ending or joyous plot or even because of humorous circumstances but because it is so beautifully written that your tear ducts just can't help but applaud and salute in the form of tears.

I'm crying! What an amazing book, I love it and I might go crazy If the third book does not come soon, well, maybe I should learn from Dylan on this one, it will come when it's right, when its time.
I am really crying, my Heart brakes for these two, I love Gray and Dylan, how they bring the best out of each other, how they let go because they know there is a lot to see out there, a lot to learn and I know they will only become better for each other and they will meet again when the time is right,...more

I can sit here and analyze this book... The real meaning of this book, the lessons learned, meaning of life etc etc....
The truth is that this is a tale of two people that are utterly in love but are so different that can't change this love into commitment! Sad? Yes very much so.... But does it make it any less beautiful? NO!

I liked this one! Really liked it :) I kinda started to panic when I approached the end of the book because I thought it would end differently, I thought this was the final installment so it really freaked me out when I realized that I won't have my desired ending. But then I've read that there's going to be a third, final installment and now my heart's back in its place!

Second Chance is a continuation of Gray and Dylan's beautiful and heartbreaking story. I never expected that I would enjoy a couple so much, but Ms. Kacvinsky really knows how to write for these 2 characters. However, no couple is perfect, and the reader discovers that there are many bumps on the road to happiness.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am so glad you continued Grey and Dylan’s story. This was a great sequel. I don’t think I could ever get enough of of them. Their chemistry, Dylan’s random thoughts/statements (some of the things she said had me laughing out loud), and how Grey understands her so well and they just fit so well together. I encourage everyone to read this book (after reading First Comes Love of course).

Dylan und Gray - zwei Menschen, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein können und sich dennoch überalles lieben. So sehr, dass sie bereit sind alles auf zugeben, um zusammen sein zu können. Auch wenn es bedeutet sich und seine Träume aufzugeben. Doch kann ein Freigeist wie Dylan wirklich gezähmt werden? Und wenn ja, wie viel bleibt dann noch von ihr übrig?

I loved book 1 so much that I built the second one up in my mind. I was prepared to be disappointed, though I don't know why. This was just as wonderful, if not more so, than the first.
Dylan and Gray have been separated for four months. Gray is playing baseball at college and he's floundering. Just when he decides he is over her, look who comes crawling, literally, back to his doorstep believing they can pick up where they left off.
