I still think this is one of the funniest lines in first conversations between two book love-interests ever. “Lulubell,” I say, because who gives their real name out to a random stranger? “What’s yours?” Like that guy who took Natalee Holloway.” “He’s probably a murderer or a kidnapper. I think Heat of the Moment was a fail when it came to a swoon-worthy love interest (because he was pretentious, an asshole, disrespectful, and slut-shammed the heroine of the story), I think Barnholdt nailed it with Abram. To this day, I still think some of them are still the best book boyfriends to date. I think the reason why I love Lauren Barnholdt novels so much is her ability to write swoon-worthy love interests. While book 1 didn’t work for me (mostly because Lyla was just focused on sex, sex, sex, slut-shaming from a bunch of characters, and the blurred line between cheating), book 2 didn’t manage to infuriate me right off the bat. I was more worried that this novel would not be my cup of tea, like Heat of the Moment. I wasn’t sure what Quinn Reynolds would be freaking out over, due to the impression we’ve received of her in the last novel. It’s not a Lauren Barnholdt novel if the main character isn’t freaking out over something. All of her novels tend to have the same elements in each of them: a main character that freaks the hell out over a situation (whether big or small, she will freak out). Lauren Barnholdt novels are usually addictive, guilty pleasure reads to me with characters stuck in hilarious, comical, sticky situations. I went into this book with caution and weariness, as I did not enjoy the first book in the series, Heat of the Moment. While book 1 focused on Lyla McAfee, book 2 focused on Quinn Reynolds and her life-changing journey to do something crazy her senior year.

When Abram, a local boy she met on the beach, asks her to hang out, she says yes. The last thing Quinn needed was to be reminded of the pact she made with her ex–best friends-the one where she promised she would do something crazy before graduation.īut that was before everything on the trip went wrong. When the email arrived in Quinn Reynolds's in box on the morning of her flight to Florida, she sent it straight to her trash folder. ![]() The second book of Lauren Barnholdt's exiting Moment of Truth series: three books, three girls, one life-changing senior trip.
