Michel’s Review

Yay!  The final book in The Sunnyvale Series by Jessica Sorensen has released.  It was well worth the wait and just as riveting as the first two books in the series.

The Year Of Second Chances by Jessica Sorensen is the third book in the Sunnyvale series.  It should not be read as a stand alone novel.  It needs to be read in series order.

The title is perfect for this book.  Isabella Anders has spent this past year living second chances.  A trip to Europe with her grandmother and cousin changes her life.  For once she is a somebody.  She’s not being ignored.  She’s experiencing a loving family rather than being the black sheep nobody wants to acknowledge.  She has transformed into a confident young woman embracing her beauty rather than hiding it.  When she returns home she catches the attention of the Meyers brothers.  One has been her friend and the other has been her lifetime crush.  Now they are both noticing her as a woman.  At the same time her family is protesting against her changes.  They want to keep her down. Isabella finally has the courage to leave her home and move in with her grandmother.  That’s just the tip of the iceberg in Isabella’s life.  She is finally asking questions about her real mother who she thought was dead.  Her mother is in prison for murder.

The Year Of Second Chances is the powerful conclusion to the secrets that are ruling Isabella’s life.  It is also an eye opener for Isabella.  The Meyer boys are showing their true colors and she’s finally seeing that there wasn’t a choice for her to make at all.  The answer has been right in front of her all this time.  Her heart knows which one it loves.

As Isabella uncovers a bit of information on her mom and secrets are beginning to reveal themselves ,the danger begins  to escalate.  A stalker, a kidnapper, and a murderer are on her tail.

Once again Jessica Sorensen wrote a riveting story.  From oppression to independence, from hate to love, and from despair to joy, Isabella Anders has come into her own.  I thoroughly enjoyed this series.
