*** 3,5 stars ***
Ok, I admit, I liked it. Though still, I don't think I'm the target reader, it's probably for younger ones, but it was nice, much better than the 1st one. Less plots packed all at once, more focused on Erin and her evolving relationship with "new" parents. It was warm and tender and I liked how they learned to live with each other. There was so much affection coming towards Erin that she wasn't used to. It was sometimes strange for her, but she was happy to finally have someone to take care of her.
Erin and Weston's relationship was getting stronger too, he was by her side whenever the bullying at school continued. They were good together until Erin found Alder's journals and was curious about her life before. After reading them, the reason other Erins started bullying her in the first place was revealed along with the plot (involving Weston) they came up with to humiliate her. I wasn't Weston's fan in the first part, I thought he was a chicken shit who couldn't stand up for her for years and all of a sudden woke up and became her friend and guardian. Revealing the plot didn't make it better, but when he explained everything and it was clear that he really cared for her for a long time, even before they started dating, he finally grew on me. So I can honestly say, hey Weston
I'll be looking forward to next novella in this series to see where the story goes.
Buddy read with Melissa and Jennifer. Thank you girls!

3.75 ~ 4 Stars
This was a very solid second installment. The writing flowed, the story had a bit of mysterious edge to it as Erin finds Alder’s journals and a few reveals were made.
[image error]
Erin is still getting acquainted with her birth parents, Sam and Julianne. Every scene that was written with these three characters was wonderful. Their bond is being built along with love, support and understanding. At school the bullies are still brutal and the whispers in the hallways are hateful.
”I can’t believe they’re just letting you take over her life like that, as if she never existed.”
Sam and Julianne are financially stable so Erin doesn’t have to work every day. Erin makes some choices to cut back her hours and accepts some gifts from her birth parents. For the first time in her life she has parental support and she truly appreciates it.
”I belonged with them because I belonged to them.”
Curiosity about a tub of journals found in Adler’s room reveals some great twists to the story that weren’t over the top but very clever on the author’s part. One of the reveals leaves her questioning Gina and her new boyfriend Weston. While another reveal gifts her the reasons why the two Erin’s stopped talking to her in fifth-grade and went from friends to tormentors.
”Don’t read them, Erin. Just don’t do it.”
Overall, this story was as short as the first book in the series and was a good follow up. I was left feeling unsettled about Weston and hope he can truly wow me in the final installment. I am hoping to get a scene with Gina, an apology from her remaining tormentors, and Weston finding out about Eric’s role in his relationship with Erin A. I’m excited to see how this story concludes in Happenstance 3.
A special thank you to Melissa and Mysza for the fabulous buddy read!!

Erin Easter never felt like she belonged with her mother Gina. Now that she knows she isn't an Easter, but is the daughter of Sam & Julianne Alderman, she has a whole new life. She has been living with the Alderman's and trying to adjust to her new life, that includes a new boyfriend, new house, & new parents. The kids at school are still bullying her and trying to make her feel like she stole Alder's life. She has to deal with all of these changes at home on top of the vicious cruelty at school.
-"I'm not afraid of them. I refuse. No matter what they do to me, I am in control of the way others make me feel. They can't hurt me if I don't let them."
-"I am not Easter anymore. I won't hide."
Her only comfort from the chaos is spending time with her boyfriend Weston. They are both close to graduation, and deciding their future. As Erin starts to feel like she fits in with the Alderman's, some secrets are revealed, & she starts to question some relationships in her life, & wonder who she can really trust. I look forward to seeing what happens in book 3 & am hoping for a wonderful HEA for Wes & Erin! D
-I am writing my own story. And in my story, I get a happy ending.

3 stelle e mezzo
L’unico difetto di questo libro, come ho già detto, è che è troppo breve e la sua brevità lascia poco spazio per una narrazione completa. Ma questo non significa che la McGuire non sappia trasformare 128 semplici pagine in qualcosa di dolce e delicato.
Erin ha una nuova vita. Finalmente una vita fatta di affetto, affermazione, bellezza. Erin ha Weston il ragazzo che sognava dalle medie, ma poco o nulla è cambiato a scuola. E’ancora vittima delle occhiate e delle chiacchiere degli altri. Una nuova cattiveria si sta per abbattere di nuovo sulla ragazza… saprà gestirla? E il trambusto provocato da essa, minerà il suo rapporto con (il dolcissimo) Weston?
Ho letteralmente AMATO la scelta dell’autrice di non cambiare radicalmente la vita di Erin, di fatto è cambiato tutto ma anche niente, i bulli sono rimasti sempre bulli e le cattiverie fanno ancora male, e questo ha dato alla storia un’impronta piuttosto realista e una continuità assolutamente necessaria. Il rapporto tra i due fidanzati poi è troppo dolce! *___*
Aspetto il terzo volume con mooolta curiosità, adesso!

Weston is one big wonderful swoonfest of sweetheart who melts your heart! ❤️
Happenstance 2 is the continuation of Erin and Weston's story. In this chapter of the series Erin adjusts to all the big changes that are happening in her life. Weston is there for her every step of the way always loving and supporting her. In true McGuire style Jamie throws in a twist and a secret that you don't see coming. Will it tear them apart or bring them closer together? I won't give anything away but this novella definitely plays with your emotions and tugs at your heart strings more than once. It's a great story about young love, life and building relationships and family. I highly recommend you read it!

Li "Happenstance 2" no dia seguinte após ler o primeiro, porém confesso que este volume não foi tão interessante quanto o anterior. A acção decorre no seguimento dos eventos finais do livro precedente.
Ao descobrir acerca da troca de bebés no hospital, a Erin vai morar com os pais biológicos e aqui acompanhamos o densenrolar da relação que está a estabelecer com eles. A perspectiva da proximidade do término da escola e do seu namoro ir de vento em pompa são aspectos que lhe trazem muita alegria.
Foi agridoce ler algumas passagens do livro. Por um lado é uma mudança imensa, uma vida completamente nova e uma adaptação difícil, tudo parece finalmente estar a encaixar e a fluir bem, contudo ela não consegue deixar de sentir que algo de infeliz lhe espera. Foi um pouco triste, depois de uma infância miserável, a Erin ainda achar que vai haver um "equilíbrio" de algo tão negativo para o tanto de maravilhoso que lhe está a acontecer.
Noutras núpcias, o colega dela Brady é um ser detestável mas acabou por ser a pessoa que lhe chamou a atenção para algo que estava a acontecer há algum tempo...e foi aqui, neste momento que a trama se tornou previsível, em parte. Foi exactamente este aspecto que me decepcionou um bocado, julgava que a narrativa fosse tomar outros contornos mas acabou por ser cliché. Por outro lado, posso dizer honestamente que fiquei surpresa ao descobrir o motivo do ódio que as outras Erins nutriam pela protagonista. Outra injustiça e a agravar estava o facto de ser uma projecção nela mas que deveria ser direccionado a outra personagem.

W-O-W!!!
So, as most people know, I loved the first installment of Happenstance. I fell in love with the story, Erin, and of course, Weston. YA is my favorite genre, so I had high hopes for the series.
This second installment didn't let me down. If anything, it solidified my love for this series. I am an angst whore, and this book has plenty of it to go around. Just when you think everything is perfect in Blackwell, there's a twist.
Erin is adjusting to all the changes in her life. I think we never got to see the 'real' Erin until now. She's dealing with everything that's happened. And when she comes across some heartbreaking information, things get a bit rocky. You can really empathize with what she's going through, and understand her decisions. There were a few times I was worried about Weston, but I think overall, Jamie does a great job of keeping the doubts at bay. I still love him!
Once again, Jamie has written a stellar book. The sheer brilliance of this novella had me turning pages wanting to get to the end, while wanting it to go on forever.

Ovviamente le cose tra Erin e Weston procedevano troppo bene per continuare in questo modo, di solito, in questi romanzi, c’è un punto di rottura che porta la tensione al massimo e questo non fa eccezione.
All'inizio della loro storia, aveva subito pensato ad una situazione alla ma poi la dolcezza di Weston mi aveva fatto cambiare idea. Quando ho visto che la storia, invece sembrava procedere in questo senso, non ci volevo credere; Weston era troppo genuino per essere
Spesso i genitori non sono obiettivi nei confronti dei figli, non sempre li vedono come sono realmente o ai loro occhi si dimostrano totalmente differenti. Il diario di Adler ha aperto gli occhi a Julienne e Sam, e ha fatto riflettere Erin sulle colpe di Gena.

September 9, 2014
If you haven't read the first book this review may contain spoilers.
Three Erin's, all born on the same day at the same hospital. They were all friends until fifth grade. Then it all changed for Erin Easter. She became the outcast and the daily target of bullying. What changed and made the other girls turn against her? That's a question that has plagued Erin for years.
After the tragic accident that took the lives of Erin Alder and Erin Masterson, Erin Easter tried to adjust to the new life she was given. Discovering that she was switched at birth was like a dream come true but she still couldn't wake from the nightmare she had been living. She got the boy of her dreams and parents that not only loved her but wanted to take care of her. I had fallen in love with Weston in the first book when he started standing up for Erin. She always thought it was too good to be true. When he puts his heart out there and admits that he loves her Erin can't bring herself to return the sentiment. Nothing seems real and she struggles with trusting that all the wonderful changes in her life are permanent, including Weston.
I adore Erin's new parents. Julianne and Sam Alder are doing everything they can to give Erin what she never had while also grieving the loss of the daughter that was never really theirs. Curiosity so often leads to discovery that is better left not found. Erin can't resist reading the journals Erin Alder kept since childhood. Weston and Julianne try to discourage her but the harder Weston pushes it the more intent Erin becomes on discovering what's hidden in the journals. Unfortunately she finds more answers than she expected and heartbreak is unavoidable. I was in shock as well. I couldn't hold back the tears. I just had to believe that the author would make it all work out. Erin is such a loveable character and has been so cruelly treated that I want her happy ending with Weston desperately. Part two ends with Erin and Weston on the mend so I'm anxiously waiting for the final installment of Happenstance.

Happenstance 2 was fantastic! While I enjoyed Happenstance 1, I have to say I really, really loved the second one even more. The continuation of Erin and Weston’s story is so many things: fun, emotional, touching, moving and enjoyable. It’s a quick read with a great plot that will leave you wanting more. I love YA books and Jamie touched on some real life issues that occur at this age.
I was so impressed with Erin for many reasons. She embodies a strong girl who despite the many adversities life has thrown at her, doesn’t let life get her down. We all know high school is hard enough but the things Erin has had to face (Weston too, but especially Erin) aren’t easy. The way she handles adapting to her new life, family and all the challenges is amazing. She’s mature and grateful and I was so happy her life has taken a turn for the better.
Weston is a sweetheart. He hasn’t always made the right choices but we have to remember he’s only in high school. My favorite line of the book was by him to Erin “All I am is all we are”.
I can’t wait for Happenstance 3 to read the continuation of Erin and Weston’s story! I’m curious to see what the future has in store for them- where their relationship will go as they graduate high school, how they will spend their summer together and how the next year apart will affect their relationship.
Read The Happenstance novellas- you won’t regret it!

Who is Erin....really?!?! Is she Erin Alderman or Erin Easter.....or is she just left in limbo? Everything is happening so fast for Erin she doesn't know which way is up. She is still with Weston, but keeps having her thoughts going back to..well he probably did this stuff with Alder.....then having him discuss things with Julianne and Sam behind her back. It is becoming too much. Then breaking Julianne and Sam's trust by going into Alder's room......only there she finds the journals.....and the truth. I swear I wanted to punch Weston in the face. I loved how Sam defended his daughter and kept Weston away. It isn't until tragedy strikes again, that makes Erin realize how much she does love Weston and finally tells him. She gives him her heart and trust and starts looking forward to the future happiness with him. Happenstance 3 can not come out soon enough.

At this point, I don't think Jamie can write a bad book....her writing is smooth as silk. Her characters are so real and inviting.. I loved Erin and Weston's continued story.... And I want more.
Erin is such a great, heartwarming , and thoughtful character...gosh I love her so much...
Of course I heart Weston and so will you... I have faith that Erin will get her happy ever after ;)

Non riesco a dargli di me. Ripeto quasi tutto quello che ho detto per il primo: storia davvero bella e originale sotto tanti punti di vista, ma narrazione troppo veloce, in molti punti ci sarebbe voluto qualche frase è spiegazione in più. Sono curiosa di leggere l'ultimo volume che sembra che sia "più grande"
September 9, 2014
I loved it so much! Absolutely lived up to my expectations. Both the relationship between Erin and Weston and between Erin and her parents were very emotional.
Jamie McGuire is a genius and I can't wait to read the third installment!

I'm totally loving this series, I just wish that she published the books a little more closer together.....the last book in the series doesn't come out until Jan.

3.5 STARS!
I finally got more of Erin and Weston. But this novella is pure torture.
