I think I enjoyed this one more. I felt Ruth's fears, like they were my own. And setting a marriage must be very tiring. Derek tried to be good for her e be helpful but they both were dealing with some communication issues, in my opinion. But it turned out a great sequel! I'm glad I could read it 😊

Beautiful sequel!

Ruth and Derek have some rough patches to get through. Both with Derek's past, and Ruth building walls around her heart to avoid disappointment. I honestly expected something even more terrible to happen, but this story was so real. The trials and troubles Ruth and Derek have happen to people in real life all the time. It was amazing.

I didn't like this book quite as much as I did the first one. Derek and Ruth were more settled together, even though it was clear that there were still some trust and communication issues between them. The feelings didn't seem quite as intense in this one. I'm not worried that they won't make it, but there is definitely a sense of the honeymoon being over before the marriage even takes place.

One comment. I don't mind strong language, and lots of it is okay. But I was uncomfortable with the word clit being used. It kind of jolted me. That was literally the only thing that concerned me at all.

Poppy gave me a review copy, but I bought the book as soon as it came out.

"Finding Me and You" is a fun, light-hearted romance. It is the 2nd book in a series, but Parkes provides enough background for this book to stand on it's own. The characters are well thought out and the plot line is easy to follow and makes sense. Typically romance is not the genre I'm most attracted to, but Parkes' writing style provides an easy, fun read that kept me intrigued. If you are not typically a romance fan, this series is a good one to try. Hoping for a 3rd to wrap up Ruth and Derek's story.

Finding Me and You (ARC) was graciously provided to me by the author, Poppy Parkes, for an honest review. Review to follow.

This was a good sequel to the light between us, it was daring and exciting. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was an incredibly realistic storyline, I could relate to the fears and frustration Ruth felt and. Derek was well, complex Derek, I love him all the same. I love Padme's role and can't wait for wedding jitters.
