I wasn't a huge fan of the first book in this series, but I needed to see what would happen with these two in the future. And although I liked this one better, writing wise and story wise, it was still just as emo and heart-crushing as the first! I liked Nova more, which was a good thing. Her character was what killed a lot of the first book for me. I loved Quinton in book one, and in this one, my heart just hurt for him and all he's lost and given up because of one mistake. 
 If you remember the end of Breaking Nova, you know that she's left him and is headed back to school. In Saving Quinton, a year has passed and she's about to head back home for the summer. She's decided she needs to see Quinton again, if for nothing else, to have him sign a release so the film footage she shot of him during their summer together can be used in her final project for film class. When she tries to reach out, though, she discovers he's no longer in the trailer park where she left him. 
 Quinton and the others have actually moved all the way to Las Vegas. And they're living in filth, addicted to drugs. Flirting with dangerous, dangerous things. Nova makes it her mission to get him out of it. But it's not an easy feat. 
 And then we're left with a cliffhanger that SUCKS. I mean really, really sucks. I hate cliffhangers, but now I have to read the third book in this series because I have to know how this ends and what happens to these two characters. If for nothing else, I commend Sorensen for her depth and quality with this story, for portraying it realistically rather than making everything all flowery and pretty right off the bat. I do not, however, commend her for that cliffhanger. ;)
