Four Years Later (Four Doors Down)

Product Information

The whole problem is that a story about a girl who gets raped should not be centered on a couple because you have to maneuver the heroine to cater to the love aspect of the story rather than her own journey to coming to terms with it. If anything the book could have been about her pushing him away because of the rape, at least then it would be rooted in her issues. Miscommunication was just a plot point to have the hero be cruel to create angst, and all we got out of it was one scene where he cried, not worth it.

Existe la posibilidad que haya estado más susceptible de lo normal mientras leía este libro porque yo, que me enorgullezco de mi falta de emociones, estuve a punto de llorar mas de una vez. The constant repeating of "these are my best friends" "we've known each other forever" "he's the best looking guy I know" we get it girl, we get it. It's no secret that I'm a reader that likes a story to break my heart. Well, this book SHREDDED me. I can't even fully wrap my mind around what a beautifully tragic, captivating, heartbreaking love story Emma Doherty created here. It was tortuous, this journey, in EVERY way. I haven't even caught my breath yet. My heart is still pounding. My stomach still aches from everything I just went through with Becca and Ryan. This hurt. So so so so much. But I loved it. So so so so much. Initially, I was wary of how Doherty would take on issues of sexual assault because the first book was so much more different in tone than this one but I really liked Four Doors Down and, while I think it would have been better as a standalone, I was curious to see where the story would go.I myself am 22 years old, so I don't feel like this realistically happens every five minutes. Everyone rolls their eyes sometimes but the constant eye rolls in this book honestly irritates my soul. Yeah. That made me proud as shit. I idolize my brother-in-law. He makes me feel safe. He understands me when Fable never, ever could. Not that she doesn’t try the best she can, but she’s a girl. She doesn’t get it. Spoilers for the end: That chapter where Ryan finds out the truth was written really, really well. The slow realization, the devastation he felt...omg. I don't think I'll be forgetting this for awhile. Until one terrible, unforgettable night away from Ryan. Until too much drinking and one empty bedroom. Until fifteen minutes of hell completely destroys her life and leaves Becca questioning everything she’s ever known.

I’ve been a tutor since I was a freshman in college, and considering I graduated high school over a year early and I’m now a junior, that’s going on three years. I have a lot of experience. I’m not bragging when I say I’m smart. I’m what some people might call a prodigy. I've read it in one sitting, I cried my eyes out, I was so captivated by this story - I can honestly say that this is my favourite book so far in 2017. I have no words, really. What was believable was the "old boy" cult of football that protected the villain and vilified the heroine. If you or anyone you may know has been sexually assaulted/harassed this book and review post might be a trigger. So that's my warning.Monica Murphy has created an unforgettable series. Her writing is honest, gritty, romantic and entertaining. Her characters are very real people that readers can relate to. We embrace them in our hearts. Their lives and stories will stay with [us] long after the book is finished. It is no wonder that this series is an all-time favorite. . . . The One Week Girlfriend series has been an amazing reading journey that has touched my heart.” — Hesperia Loves Books They were right. It was a total stage that wasn’t really a stage at all. More like a front. But I’ve never been comfortable around guys. They give me even a hint of attention and I think they have ulterior motives. They want something from me I don’t want to give.

This is nothing like the first book. Only the characters are the same but even they have totally different personalities. And he never even gave Becca the time to explain. Yes, I get that he was angry and I would be too but after some time he could've talked to her. And the icing on the cake of an ending? She finally, finally decides to date again and that night she goes out with some guy, Ryan comes with cause he wants to “meet the guy” even though it’s eating him up inside to see Becca with another guy (oh give me a damn break). But that’s when Becca realizes oh wait, she still loves Ryan and wants to be with him and they go home to have sex. The end. No seriously, that’s literally what happened. Ugh, I honestly would’ve even rated this higher if they didn’t end up together. I've read various accounts of survivors of rape, but am not in a position to say whether this is a valid depiction of what a rape survivor goes through.An engaging, heavily character-driven new adult [novel] that brings us the story of a much beloved character. Seamless writing flows effortlessly as Murphy sets up the plot elements and begins her story of love, loss, redemption, and forgiveness. . . . Four Years Later was a delight to read.” — Smexy Books Until you get your shi—your act together, you’re not working. You need to focus. On school more than anything,” Fable says. When I open my mouth to protest, she narrows her eyes. I shut the hell up. “They’re benching you on the team, too. You need to move fast before you lose everything. I mean it.” Bestselling author Monica Murphy winds up her sensational series with this sexy story of two college kids with nothing in common but a bunch of baggage and a burning attraction.

The glass door swings open and my college counselor peeks her head out, her expression grim, her gaze distant when she stares at me. “You can come in now, Owen.” All I know about the guy I’m going to tutor is that he’s a football player and he’s failing English. Considering I don’t pay attention to any of the sports teams at my college, I have no idea who he is beyond his name. My first instinct is that he’s a punk with a chip on his shoulder who hates the idea of being tutored by little old me.I read this duet inside of 24 hours. Four Doors Down was cute, a lighthearted but angsty high school romance about former best friends turned enemies with unsolved feelings between them. The writing felt... new, like the author had a beautiful story to tell and was still finding her footing as she brought the characters to life. I liked it. I wasn't completely blown away by the story itself at the time but I certainly enjoyed it enough to read it in one sitting and immediately move on to this sequel.
