Where You Are Between the Lines Book 2 edition by Tammara Webber Literature Fiction eBooks

After finishing Between the Lines, I decided to give Where You Are a try, if only for a continuation of Graham and Emma's story. To be honest, the plot didn't really appeal to me. I'm not a girl that goes for the twisted, manipulating revenge kind of story. In the end, this book was about what I thought it would be. I loved the parts that dealt with Graham and Emma and loathed the parts that were about Brooke and Reid.

This is written from four different points of view. Brooke, Emma, Graham, and Reid all get to tell their own story. It did feel a little bogged down at times, but it wasn't too bad. I think all sides were necessary to know everything going on, even if Reid and Brooke's views got a little repetitive and overworked at times.

Graham and Emma are perfectly sweet. They're a wonderfully written couple in the early stages of a relationship. There's a little bit of confusion rolled around with a lot of happiness. If the story has simply been about them, I think I would have enjoyed it more. A book about trying to find their footing in a new romance while one starts college and one finishes and enters the next stage of life, not to mention Graham's daughter, would have been a syrupy sweet read.

The problem comes in with Reid and Brooke and their "plan" to win back the relationships they never had. Brooke starts everything, coming to Reid with a plan to help him get Emma back. From there it just spirals. It felt too childish for me to actually enjoy. It took away from what could have been a good story.

There's not a lot of secondary character action. Emily shows up occasionally, but there wasn't enough to make up for Reid and Brooke. They were extremely secondary and I wished there could have been more.

Overall, Where You Are was a bit of a let-down from Between the Lines, even if I was kind of expecting it, based on the novel description. I'm glad I got to read a little bit more of Graham and Emma, but I could have done without the backstabbing pettiness of Reid and Brooke. Unfortunately, I think this is where I'll bow out from the series. Emma and Graham were the people keeping me reading, and even with Reid's slight redemption at the end, it's not enough to keep me reading this series. I'm not ready to give up on Webber, though, so I will give her other book, Easy a try.

About my reviews
I am by no means a book scholar; I read for entertainment purposes only. I couldn't care less about grammar and spelling as long as I can follow the story (I’m still a novice when it comes to the English language and I am 30+ years old and English is my first and only language…I’m a 0’s and 1’s kinda girl). With that being said, I do appreciate those who have the gift of bringing good characters and stories to life via written words evoking all my “girlie” emotions. For the most part I’m a sucker for likable characters, good chemistry, angst, heartbreak, and happy endings. I judge books by how I feel while reading them and I am always looking for my next “5 star book” high!

I wanted to share my opinions on the books I’ve read recently because ratings can be misleading at times; however, I don’t want to spend too much time on reviewing a book when I could be reading the next “5 star book” (hence this template). You will not get any spoiler alerts or harsh critiques from my reviews…nope, you will simply get a star rating based on the following
5 stars – I could read this book over and over again…everyone should read this book!!!
4 stars – I could read this book more than once!
3 stars – Okay book…one read was enough
2 stars – I just about got through this book
1 star – I could not finish this book

Hopefully this will help you identify some good reads and avoid some not-so-good ones!
I have to be completely honest here. I wasn't sure I wanted to read this book. I loved Between the Lines (the first book in the series) and felt it had a very satisfying ending. I wouldn't have minded a book with new character POV's but when I read it would be about the same four people as the first book and with the same romantic entanglements I was leery. It sounded like a rehash of the old plotline to me.
I'm happy to say I was pleasantly surprised.

Graham and Emma have a chance encounter after filming of their movie School Pride has ended and decide to take the plunge to become more than friends. Theirs is a tenuous relationship. The sparks are definitely there. These two are great people and great for each other. However, they come with some baggage and reservations mainly in the forms of former costars Reid and Brooke. Where You Are is told from all four POV's. This allows us to see everyone's motivations and reactions.

Reid and Emma had a brief relationship during the filming of School Pride that still bothers Graham. Brooke now has her sights set on Graham with a laser beam focus. Although filming has since wrapped, there are promotional events, interviews and the movie premiere that throw the four together again and bring up old feelings. The terrible twosome of Reid and Brooke team up to create doubt within Emma and Graham's blossoming relationship and really no good can come of that when these two sworn enemies join forces.

It is a testament to Tammara Webber's writing that I did not throw this book across the room. I despised certain actions by the characters but somehow (I don't know how she does it) Tammara stays 100% true to the characters so I accept it with baited breath hoping everything will work out right in the end.

The tone for Where you Are is very different. While Between the Lines was all about experimenting and wild parties, Where you Are is all about taking things slow, being responsible and consequences to ones actions.

A good portion of this book is spent watching Emma & Graham's relationship slowly develop. I mean slowly, we get all the deep conversations, Skype chats and romantic declarations which is probably going to be boring for some, but for me I always feel like we get short changed on this side of the relationship in books. The book usually ends right when the relationship is getting started. I really enjoyed them. They have some very difficult decisions to make if they want their relationship to work so I really enjoyed how responsible they were about everything. I found them to be very romantic.

Have no fear though, Reid and Brooke stir up enough trouble for our sweet couple to keep things interesting. I would say that Reid is still almost 90% unredeemable but there are glimpses of the other 10%. It's his (occasional) kindness and potential that keep me rooting for him even though I didn't want him to get the girl.

Brooke. Ahhhh Brooke. I think she falls into the 99% unredeemable category. She took her scheming to win Graham over to extremes that are are pretty unforgivable in my eyes. I understand what made her this way and maybe felt a twinge of sympathy but man oh man I hated her.

One thing that did bother me was Graham's reaction to Brooke's scheming. They have been good friends for 4 years and he does know another side to her but he was just too passive during one or two of her more aggressive maneuvers. That was fitting with his personality and he was still insecure about Reid but still. He should have made Emma's feelings a higher priority at the very least.

The ending leaves me pretty excited for book 3- Good For You (the last book in the series - available December 2011) It's spoilery so I'll just leave this link to Tammara's site and if you want to know about the next book head over there.

Tammara Webber has a real gift of writing engaging, yet complex YA characters that keep me coming back for more even though I occasionally want to smack rather than hug a couple of them. lol
