I tore through this novella while waiting for my car to get an oil change. I know Brooke isn't everyone's favorite, but I always felt for her. She's Perry's ex. She has to watch him fall for some girl she can't understand or relate to, and gosh, haven't most of us been there? 'Why her? Why didn't he feel that with me?' Rossi writes emotions with such powerful simplicity, and this novella is a wonderful look at Brooke's heartache and recovery from losing Perry to Aria. Plus it gives us a glimpse of the events that transpire between books two and three. The wait for Into the Still Blue just might destroy me.
