Initial thoughts: I really enjoyed Anna and Theo! Although, I preferred Theo a slight bit, probably because the prose was a little more fluid. What amazed me was that even though several events were already familiar thanks to Anna, it didn't feel like Theo was repetitive. Amanda Prowse indeed managed to craft to amazing individuals whose viewpoints were unique and brought something to the table. And while both their stories were filled with heartbreaks, they too were filled with hope. As much as I was sad to reach the last page, I ended up smiling, thinking about the possibilities of their future.
