The Way I Am Now

De: Amber Smith

Narrado por: Jordan Fisher, Rebekkah Ross

Eden and Josh decide to give their relationship another chance in this much anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestseller The Way I Used to Be that explores how to move forward after trauma—in life and in love.

Eden and Josh never had a fair shot at a healthy relationship. When they dated in high school, they each had their own problems getting in the way of the deep connection they felt toward one another. Unbeknownst to Josh, Eden was carrying the burden of a devastating sexual assault, while Josh was dealing with his own private struggle of having an alcoholic father.

Months after Eden and two other girls publicly accuse their rapist, Eden is starting college while her case goes to trial. Now when she and Josh reconnect, it seems like it might finally be in the right place at the right time for them to make it work. But is their love strong enough to withstand the challenges and chaos of college and the crushing realities of a trial that will determine whether Eden gets the justice she deserves?

Great

Was so happy to see what happens to Eden and Josh. Great sequel! Hopefully there's a third book with a follow up on the families and trial outcome.

Love and Light at the end of the tunnel of dispair.

Powerful and packed with a punch of hope! When something tragic happens we want to withdraw. This beautiful, encouraging book teaches us to never give up! Hope! Reach out! Heal!

Better than the first book🥹

This was definitely a really good sequel to the first one. I loved seeing Eden adapt into a new environment with a job and a new school in a new town. The only thing I thought was a little off was the third act break up, yes ofc there is one. The whole reason for the break was completely justified, but I also feel like what Josh told her afterwards was out of hand. Josh crashing out over the situation that happened seems out of character for this couple, so maybe a different CAUSE of the break would have made sense or fit the story better. Nonetheless, I do feel like I’m more drawn to this book and I enjoy it far more than the first one. I’m extremely excited to read some rom coms after this LMAO. ALSO HELLO?! Jordan Fisher being a narrator for this book had me actually shook bc I know from his social media that he’s really into romance books, but I didnt know he NARRATED. He did such an amazing job I actually loved it..

Rarely does the sequel top the original…

This was an amazing follow up to TWIUTB! At the end of book one, although I did enjoy it, I had so many questions about why this character did that and why didn’t this situation get explored more. TWIAN answers all of them. The character progression of each individual is written amazingly and a bit more realistic. Book 2 was amazing, and is a must read.

Loved it

Audio was amazing voices was not annoying at all! Loved how respectful they were in all this story.

Great sequel!

I loved the growth and development of the characters. This book had me hooked starting with the first chapter and left me hoping for more at the end of the last chapter. A must read for any age.

The way it left me clueless

I feel like it still left the story untold. What happened to Kevin? How did Edyn and Josh end? A lot of unanswered questions.

Character Development

its great to see eden finally be able to start recovering and become more comfortable and confident in telling her story

Great book

Great book. Wondering why we didn’t get to hear the final verdict though. Is there a third book?
