Dear Heart, I Miss You: A Second Chance Romance (Everything But You Duet, Book 2) (Silver Springs)

Firstly, I just want to say I was so honoured to be apart of the arc team for the amazing conclusion of Finn and Dias story. At the end of the first book I thought I knew which direction Eliah would take them, but I was so very wrong. Eliah has done such an incredible job of telling their story. I’m not going to lie, I wasn’t a big fan of Finn at times… but the grovelling more than made up for this! *Sigh*. We was able to witness Dia mature during this book and became a force to be reckoned with, and there’s nothing better as a reader to witness a character become a strong heroine. I cannot talk about her growth and not talk about Finns either, he really steps up and becomes the love Dia deserves. There was some plot twists in there that Eliah threw in just to mess with our hearts I’m sure, but the epilogue healed these wounds and made me happy cry (Very rarely do I happy cry at a book). So to you Eliah, I want to thank you so much for giving us this story, your writing was beautiful as always and kept the perfect pace, I couldn’t put it down. I’m excited to watch you grow as an author and for any future books, you are so unbelievably talented and you mean a lot to all of us.

Freaking Jesus. This book was an emotional rollercoaster but what else did we expect after book one ripped out hearts out?I absolutely still love Dia, She's just so sweet and yet tainted. Like she took a brush with darkside and it stained her soul. She didn't deserve any of what happened to her throughout the book and I swear at 1am I had to force my swollen teary eyes to go to sleep instead of reading on.Finn. I like Finn. I like the way he lights up Dia. I like the way he loved Lexie in book one. I like his dirty mouth and his beautifully messed up words. BUT. Do I also hate him? Yes. Now it doesn't last the whole book but I was just so infuriated with him.He done a lot of growing, begging and apologising (not enough if you ask me).The reveals in this book were gutwrenching and downright shocking but so we're the events that happened throughout. Every single one had me shaking my tablet. Heartbroken tears. Happy tears. Relieved Tears. Angry tears. The author needs to buy me new tissues.Loved getting to see more of Aveena and Xavier at college. Also so so so eager for Jesse to get his own book or Brody so that we can find out what down between them. Pretty please?Will I continue to stalk this author even though she broke me? Hell yes!

𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖…I don’t even know where to start because I’ve been dying for the rest of Dia and Finn’s journey since I read DHIHY. & the cliffhanger had me on edge.I cannot fully express how I feel about these two. I love them both as individuals but together they are explosive fireworks.𝑾𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒂𝒏 𝒖𝒈𝒍𝒚 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅, 𝒎𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒖𝒈𝒍𝒚 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒔, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒊𝒈𝒈𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒊𝒔𝒏’𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒖𝒈𝒍𝒚 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔. 𝑰𝒕’𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒚 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎.Their character growth is so so so good. I mean I love all sides of Finn but the one we got is something I’m just speechless about.There was laughs, pain, heartbreak, tears and a lot of trauma. But I loved every second of this.𝑵𝒐𝒕 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒑𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒖𝒓𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖, 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒑𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔.𝑰𝒕’𝒔 𝒐𝒌𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇 𝒉𝒖𝒓𝒕….𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕’𝒔 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒊𝒕’𝒔 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒉 𝒊𝒕. ♡Little side note.. I also think even Jesse pulled me on side, I want his story. I think I need it.

With every book this author releases, the better and better they are. I loved the first part to this duet, falling in love with Dia & Finn, and was counting the minutes down for their conclusion. It did not disappoint in the slightest.From start to finish, Dear Heart, I Miss You breaks your heart, leaves you crying without realising and by the end you are completely healed even after being on such an emotional ride. 2% in and I was crying, my heart breaking and it was a common occurrence but by the end it was happy tears. Dia and Finn's ending was truly perfect, for them and for their story. Seeing and remembering how much I love other characters in this world was an absolute treat.I loved this book so much! I can feel the book hangover already. Incredible!

I was so happy with the ending and the almost complete story. The moments of Finn's vulnerability and his endeavour really danced off the page. I did feel the sub plot of Joel and his revenge plot was too much and would much rather have had more development of Jesse and Dia's mother of in specific him looking corner mother. I look forward to reading more from this character group.

This is the second book in the series and I held off to read the first until this book came out and it was well worth the wait. Great get other characters from previous books running through this as well so you know what happened to them after there stories finished.There were some great very unexpected twists in this book and a lot of up and down but they made it through

It felt like an eternity waiting for this book to be released, when I first read Finn & Dia’s story I was hooked from the beginning. I re-read the first book again before diving in to the second and I didn’t put it down until I finished.The conclusion to their story was perfect, I laughed and cried, there’s twists and turns.. I just can’t recommend this series highly enough.I hope we get to read the rest of the gangs stories, I’m so ready for more.Five stars (deserves way more in my opinion)⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Feel like been waiting for this book forever. Was worth the wait. Although this book is a continuation of Diamond and Finn , we also get to view the completion of Aveena and Xavier story. It was a joy to read and see how the characters grew and matured.
