3 1/2 - 4 Stars. I loved Good for You so I was excited about this sequel. I guess I am a little disappointed in Dori...in the previous book she was an amazingly confident character that inspired Reid to be a better person, however, in Here Without You she came across as very weak and insecure. Reid turned out to be strong, brave and responsible! As always Tammara Webber's writing is thoroughly engaging. Regardless of my frustration with Dori, I enjoyed the story. Definitely my favourite out of the series! The series started with, could I say immature (?) characters who were crazy and just on a high with fame. I can say that I probably hated most of the characters. But in Here Without You, I adore all four of the main characters. Brooke is an amazingly strong character. I was unsure about her choices at the beginning of the book but she proved me wrong. At first, I felt like she was being a child, making demands that she could make because of her celebrity status. But then as the book moved on, we saw more about Brooke's decisions and my view has totally changed. From the third book, I expressed my love for Dori. I was able to relate to her more than any character out of the series because, I guess, she is the only one who isn't searching for fame or to be on the big screen. Her and Reid's relationship tore me apart. I love them together (probably more than Graham and Emma!). Out of all the characters I think I enjoyed seeing Reid's character develop the most, especially with the circumstances that flips everything upside down. He took his time, not making rash decisions and treasures his relationship with Dori so much, it was so sweet. Heard the cliche "a bad boy gone good"? Well that is definitely Reid - but it's not at all cliche in Here Without You. Cannot praise this book enough. I love it, a great ending that I couldn't help but smile at. The epilogue was spot on. Webber never disappoints.
What do You think about Here Without You (2000)?
I absolutely loved this book. 5 stars is not enough
