Always Red Chasing Red (#2) Isabelle Ronin Published by Sourcebooks Casablanca on November 17th, 2017 378 pages Goodreads ~ Amazon ~ Kindle ~ Audiobook ~ Book Depository "Red," Caleb whispered. "Do you know how I felt when you left me?" I looked into his eyes. The emotion I saw in them, the intensity, and the tenderness filled up my throat. "I felt ruined. Because, Red, every time you break me apart, you put me back together. And I always come out better than before." "So," he cupped my face, stroking my cheek with his thumb. "Ruin me." I don't know why I put myself through this agonizing hell that someone though would be a good idea to publish. This book was so bad that I'm going to change my rating for the first book because I honestly don't think anyone should ever read this duology.  This book just completely went in all the wrong directions. It was the dumbest thing I have ever read. I hate leaving bad reviews but t

I'm kind of glad I gave this book a second go. I originally DNFed this book back in 2017 or 2018. I can't remember when I tried reading it. I decided to go the audiobook route this time.

From the first night they met—when she gracelessly threw up on his shoes—to when she sent him an unintelligible email while in a post-surgical haze, Josh has always thought of Hazel more as a spectacle than a peer. But now, ten years later, after a cheating girlfriend has turned his life upside down, going out with Hazel is a breath of fresh air. Not that Josh and Hazel date. At least, no
