Out of the Shallows (Into the Deep, #2)

by Samantha Young

Somehow, after everything they’ve been through, Jake Caplin and Charley Redford made their way back to one another. But finding each other and staying together are two completely different things.

When Charley’s world is flipped upside down, she begins to question the choices and decisions she’s made since her arrival in Edinburgh, and in an effort to grip onto what she holds most dear she believes she must sacrifice her love for Jake.

Returning to the States for her senior year, Charley struggles to find peace and happiness. While everyone else seems to be finding themselves in college, Charley is terrified that, along with almost everything else that’s important to her, she’s lost herself.

While friends and family deal with their own tumultuous lives, there is one person resolved to uncover the reason behind Charley’s sudden defection and unhappiness. Refusing to give up without a fight, Jake believes he is the only one who can truly understand what Charley is going through, and this time he’s determined to prove he’s there for her no matter what obstacles are thrown in their way.

However, as Charley strives through the biggest personal journey of her life thus far, there is no guarantee that the woman she is becoming will still need Jake as much as the girl she once was did…

Hello - I'd like a side order of heartbreak with my tragedy. Seriously! Young had my emotions up and down and all over the place with this one. I have to say, she planted and sowed this one thing in my heart, that had me sniffling, and then it wasn't what it seemed. I say, well played Ms. Young. Your deception toyed with my heart, but you did it so well. Kudos to you. The relationship between Charlie and Jake is like a cat, it has nine lives. Just when I thought they were all good, I start listening to this book. So. Many. Emotions. I will say, I was happy at the end of it all. A lot of good endings for multiple characters.
