"People cry, not because they're weak. it's because they've been strong for too long. -Johnny Depp"Owen... We've known him for a while now, we've seen him grow up during Fables and Drew stories. And boy has he grown! His life is different from Fables. Owen never really had a stable home and didn't really have to grow up as fast as his sister. He actually think like he can do whatever he wants. He lives by the motto:"It doesn't matter what people think about you. It's what you think about yourself that counts.- unknown"But he needs to reconsider his motto because, not giving a shit about school will make him lose his scholarship. That's why his counselor paired him up with a tutor. Chelsea is a black haired girl with big blue eyes. She never really liked boys and that has probably something to do with her dad that left her mother and she behind with nothing. That's why Chelsea working her butt off for school (tutoring and studying for her own classes.) and working to make as much money possible to send on her mothers way. From the moment they meet they're curious about each other. It's really funny to read, even a bit awkward. It's good that we've know Owen for quite a bit because he's just going through a transition.They both have the feeling that theyre wanting something that they shouldn't want. "Why do I look fowardto seeing her? She's nothing. She's not even that attractive. Liar. Fine. She's cute. But nothing special. Indon't understand why I feel this way." (Owen)"His fingers pause and I hurriedly look down, staring unseeingly at the words in front of me while deep inside, my heart is racing a bazillion miles a minute." (Chelsea)I love Owen more and more with every oage that I read. He's such a athlete but he's also smart, even though he doesn't even knows it himself. When he needs to write more for his creative writing class he starts writing a poem. "Prickly with thorns, Pretty little rose. She's shy. She's pink. She belongs to no one. I win her over with my touch.Slow at first, my fingers gentle, searching as she opens...Caressing her, I bring her close.So close.Until I've completely destroyed her. Petals scattered everywhere, her beauty wrecked. All by my hand. And now she's become everything.To me."When he finally has the nerve to ask her out. Well, let me say that we see a totally different Owen on this date. After having dinner with some sexual tension they go for a drive and end up on top of the car having their first kiss, looking over the citylights." 'So Chels,' 'Yes?''Was tonight enough of an adventure for you?''Most definitely.''Good, because it's only just begun.'How cute is he?!When Favle calls Owen a few days later to meet up the next weekend they start talking about 'his Chelsea' and they finally agree to meet the next weekend but also the day itself. He's going to watch a game of Drews and his taking Chelsea with him' When Fable meets Chelsea, well, ....mhow should I put it? " 'You two are so cute.' Fable sighs and shakes her head. 'Just friends, my ass.' "Is that clear enough? When Owen realizes that there's something wrong he asks what he exactly did to make her mad. When she tells him that she can't believe that he told his sister that they're JUST friends... When he realizes what he has done he feels terrible. They decide to leave for the four hour drive. They don't talk for over an hour. Adventually he decides that they have to stay over in a hotel. He can't stand to think about her being mad at him. When they're at the hotel room they talk about thing and things get STEAMING HOT. And that's understatement. I love how my favorite poet come along in this book. "Forgive my gingers for when theyFind your bodyThey will lose themselves. "- Tyler Knott GregsonOwen is just the sweetest bad guy I've ever read. He's so caring when we're talking about Chelsea. His words make my weak little heart melt when I read them. "She's mine. She might not know it yet, but I can't stand the thought of letting her go." -Owen"How I feel about Chelsea is just... Fucking ridiculous, in the most awesome, ubelievable way."-OwenBut when they both start to realize that they have secrets that they don't know about each other things go downhill. His mother made sure that Chelsea felt bad about herself and her relationship with Owen. And then,... The proof I needed to remind me why I always the best friends in every book that I read. Wade wasn't eager about Owen having a girlfriend, and especially not when it's a girl like Chelsea. But when our little baby Owen doesn't want to come out of his bed he starts interrupting his self pitty." 'Stop faking it and actually make it for once.' Wade continues, his gaze level with mine. 'I think you can do it of you just let yourself. You're stronger than you think, dude.' "He finally gets his courage together and texts Chelsea, she's been missing him too. And they start texting he asks her to come over. They kiss and make up! The epilogue, I thought, was rather a bit dry. It's one year later on Chelsea's graduationday! They're cute together, they still love each other very much. We get some other news. Fables and Owens mom died in jail. Chelsea's dad got out of jail and still has her lother wraped around his little fingers. And we have some good news as well! Fable is pregnant again!!"I'm also completely found." -OwenThis was one of the best bookks out of these series! Not too luch drama but enough to keep it interesting, that's why I give this book 5 earthshattering stars!! 3.5 stellineLa storia è carina, avrei anche potuto dare 4 stelline ma ho trovato questo libro un po' volgare a volte. Non si potrebbe descrivere le varie prodezze sessuali senza volgarita'? Drew è un ragazzo dolce, il solito bellone dei libri ma non mi è piaciuto il suo non sapere reagire ai problemi della vita e il suo rifugiarsi nella droga e l'alcool. Chelsea è la solita brava ragazza "verginella" con problemi in famiglia. Ma dico io è possibile che queste ragazze siano carine e non abbiano mai avuto neanche un fidanzato? Mah! Comunque libro carino, niente di nuovo.
What do You think about Four Years Later (2014)?
The writing has improved a lot in this book, I enjoyed it much more than the first two.
