MY REVIEW:
Truly, Madly, Deeply by Karen KingsburyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I did not realize this was the 6thbook to a series.

This is a very emotional book. Tommy acts very mature for his age and knows what he wants. Annalee is battling something and together their love story will have you in tears. Sometimes I would forget that they were only 18.
I did not feel like I was missing anything by not reading the other books in the series.
I received this from Atria and NetGalley for review.
