Four Years Later (Four Doors Down Book 2)

Product Information

They think they can get by on playing ball and that’s it. Doesn’t matter what ball it is, either. Football, baseball, basketball … if they’re good at it, they think they’re invincible. They believe it’ll take them so far they’ll never need anything else.

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. Como si fuera poco, por culpa de unas fotografías, todos creen que ella engañó a Ryan; sus amigos en común la evitan, los compañeros de clases la ridiculizan. Becca se esfuerza por contarle la verdad a Ryan, necesita su apoyo, su fuerza, pero este creyéndose traicionado la suprime completamente de su vida sin escuchar lo que ella tiene que decir: bloquea su numero telefónico, prohíbe que sus amigos le cuenten nada de su vida y, no conforme con eso, luego la humilla, la insulta y decide acostarse con cuanta cosa se mueva. Por lo que Becca, sintiéndose abandonada, toma la única solución que cree correcta: se niega a contar la verdad, después de todo nadie va a creerle, right?

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 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. 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. 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. But I’m lying. I think she does need him. And I need him, too, only to keep her together more than anything else. I don’t love him, not anymore. He stomped all over that love until he made me resentful.

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.” Chelsea is not my type at all. She’s smart and totally shy. I’m pretty sure she’s even a virgin. But when she gives me the once-over with those piercing blue eyes, I’m really over. But in a different way. I won’t deny her ass is killer, but it’s her brain and the way she seems to crave love—like no one’s ever given her any—that make me want her more than any girl I’ve ever met. But what would someone as seemingly together as her ever see in a screwed-up guy like me? Also a main aspect of the book is the MC’s healing journey and how she navigates all the events in her life (especially in regards to the people who abandoned her when she needed them most) but then we literally get none of that when it was most important?? Now I wish I’d moved with them. Gone to Stanford like they originally wanted me to. Well, like Fable wanted me to. Drew told her not to push. The more she pushes, the more I pull away.

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.
