The Way I Used to Be Series Collection 2 Books Set By Amber

The Way I Used to
All Eden wants is to rewind the clock. To live that day again. She would do everything differently. Not laugh at his jokes or ignore the way he was looking at her that night. And she would definitely lock her bedroom door. But Eden can’t turn back time. So she buries the truth, along with the girl she used to be. She pretends she doesn’t need friends, doesn’t need love, doesn’t need justice. But as her world unravels, one thing becomes the only person who can save Eden … is Eden.

The Way I Am
Eden used to believe the only person who could save her was Josh. He was everything that was good in her world – an open heart, a tender touch, a kind smile – but he couldn’t be her saviour. Eden had to do that for herself. Back in high school, they never had a fair shot at a healthy relationship. Eden carried the burden of a devastating assault, while Josh struggled with the demons of his alcoholic father. Now that Eden has faced up to her attacker and is starting college, they might finally be in the right place at the right time...

The Way I Used to be's Review :
How bad I wish I was her big sister instead of Caelin being her big brother?!
Also I did wish Eden's mom would've let her speak up instead of thinking she missed her period date ...

I'm so proud of her that at least, eventually she spoke up about the incident! This girl deserved and deserves more support than she was given. It wasn't her fault for her entire transformation into a bad girl!

Also, throughout the entire Sophomore Year, I felt so so bad for Joshua Miller. He didn't deserve what Eden put him through...but I also can't blame her completely for this.

I highly recommend this book and so here I'm giving it a 5 ⭐

The Way I Am Now's Review:
This book deserves a 10 freaking stars ⭐

Their relationship is built on so much understanding and like both Eden and Joshua are willing to put every effort on this relationship just not to drift apart from each other. 💖💘

They're my favorite duo of course, the way they managed to have faith in each other and the optimism that no matter what they're going to make it work out some way, somehow.

IT'S TRUE!
MAYBE THERE'S NO OTHER GUY LIKE " JOSHUA MILLER "
and his love for EDEN even knew no bounds.
ALSO, His Love for her is Love in its purest form...✨🥺

Imma ship them until my very last breath and these 2 books will alwayshold a v.special place in my heart from now on.

Well Written...The way I feel ....Its a story told many times with Slightly Diff Points but ...Sadly a Story that happens an can happen to anyone ...

Something that people just _Should not ever have to go through

Where as In Reality _Is really Fucked up

But still Happens ...

No Women nor Child or man should go through

I hope in real life Healing Comes for those who faced such pain an comes back stronger ♡

An that There are guys like Josh that exists ♡




loved book 2 aswell _wasnt needed but shows Healing takes time alot of time ...an thats okay ♡

I wish Eden had felt like she had people to talk to. It just shows how you can have people around you and still feel so alone. For me, the first book just kept getting heavier and harder, but in the second book, things started to look up a bit. That being said, I’m really expecting a third book!

[Cj A · Rating 4 out of 5]

First book is great loved it. It described what she went through very well. Second book she was kinda of annoying in my opinion but I understood why. The character development was amazing.

[Savannah Behrens · Rating 5 out of 5]

LITERALLY BEST BOOKS IVE EVER READ. Really sad at first and hard to read bc of her choices but second book is really good and has a happy ending

[Selena Manhart · Rating 5 out of 5]
