Review: About Tomorrow by Abbi Glines

 

♦ ♦ ♦

About Tomorrow...

I close my eyes as I hear him speak. I take one very long and deep breath hoping to calm the immediate butterflies that take flight in my stomach and hope to slow down the racing of my heart. The voice was slightly deeper but the timbre was one that was achingly familiar.

My actions did little to help, but then who was I kidding? A deep breath wasn't going to fix the effect he had on me and my body's inevitable reaction. Even the memories that would forever haunt me couldn't keep my emotions from triggering at the nearness of him once again.

I used to pray that I'd find the strength to move on from him, from the pain that the end carried, from the emptiness in my chest, but ultimately move on from—the loss of Creed Sullivan and the death of his sister, Cora.

The Sullivans had been the best part of my summers in New England.

Deep down, I knew my ache for all that I had lost was the reason I returned...

But I hadn't expected to see him again—especially not like this.

  About Tomorrow is Abbi Glines at her angstiest. I’ve got to be honest, I picked this up because I loved the cover and blurb and I’ve loved this authors books in the past, but I had no idea what I was getting myself into. For those of you looking for that delicious NA angsty goodness, this is the book for you! 

Honestly, this review will be a bit vague because I feel like the blurb is vague and there is a lot that I could spoil. This is Sailor Copeland’s story and it’s a second chance romance. One of her childhood best friends and her first love, Creed Sullivan comes back into her life after she graduates college and least expects it. Sailor’s life is going on a clear path, but now with Creed back, things get a little messy.

I like angsty books, but they aren’t always my favorite if I’m not in the right mood. This one has a lot of angst in my opinion and there were times where things got a little too much, especially towards the end, but it also gave me a lot of feels which I loved. I love high emotion reads that make you feel.

Creed and Sailor’s love story is a beautiful one about first loves and second chances, but it also has some tragedy to it. If you’re looking for a read that will keep you glued to the pages and one that’s heart-wrenching and angsty, look no further than About Tomorrow.

 Creed had put on a pair of faded jeans and a vintage Def Leppard tee shirt but he’d not brushed his hair. It worked for him but then Creed was the kind of sexy that could wear anything and still turn heads. As a little girl, I’d loved playing with him and as a teenage girl I had fallen in love with him. 

“Hello,” I said so softly- it was almost a whisper. 

“Their coffee is shit,” he said as he walked toward the kitchen. 

I turned my gaze back to the fire. Pretending like we were strangers was difficult. Once there had been so much I wanted to say to him. I’d wanted to ask him why? What had I done wrong? Why had he turned on me without a reason?

 Now, he was here. We were in the same room and I had no words. I couldn’t think of one thing to say. 

I heard him in the kitchen and as much as I wanted to not care that he was here my body was attuned to his every move. Maybe it was my nerves or uncertainty. It couldn’t possibly be more than that. His footsteps were soft and I realized he must be barefoot. The cold wouldn’t affect him like it did me. He was a New Englander. 

He sat down in the chair across from the sofa and his gaze was on me. I didn’t want to look at him. The fire was less confusing and unsettling. I didn’t have to pretend with the fire. Creed however was a different story. How did he expect me to act like we were strangers when there was so much in our past?
