Honestly, there were times when I had to just put the book down for a few minutes and go watch a fluffy YouTube video or something just to calm down. This really set a powerful tone of anticipation and dread. It was told to us in alternating POVs and the thing I’ve always loved about both Tristan and Danika is that, while they each had their flaws once you got inside their heads, it was easy to at least understand where they were both coming from… even if at times I just wanted to shake them.ĭanika’s POV especially gave a lot of foreshadowing because it was written as though she’d already experienced all the events of this book and was almost looking back warning us of which little elements would come into play in a bigger way later on and impact their future. It was devastating to see a couple that was as powerfully in love with each other as Tristan and Danika facing so much pain but I loved the way the story was portrayed. Well, all our questions were answered here. “I love you,” I spoke softly into his ear.” He didn’t hold it back, now that he’d admitted it, but it still gave me butterflies, every single time. I had so many questions - Where did Danika get her limp? What could possibly have happened to come between them? This book picks up right where Book #1, Bad Things, ended and given what we knew of Tristan and Danika’s relationship in the Up In The Air trilogy (see more info on the timeline below), we knew that they were going to go through some extreme heart ache. I absolutely adore this series and can’t wait for the next book!!Įven before I started this book, I knew it was going to be an intense ride.

Tristan and Danika’s journey was emotional, intense, and heart breaking but left me hopeful and eager for more. Lilley has a way of drawing you right into each book she writes and Rock Bottom tugged at every one of my heart strings.
