'Somebody Else's Sky' (Something in the Way #2) by Jessica Hawkins

'Somebody Else's Sky' Goodreads synopsis -

‘If I closed my eyes, I could still see them—all blonde sunshine, ocean-blue eyes, and long limbs. The glint of Lake’s gold bracelet. Pink cotton candy on Tiffany’s tongue. My scenery may have changed from heaven to hell, but some things never would: my struggle to do right by both sisters. To let Lake soar. To lift Tiffany up. The sacrifices I made for them, I made willingly. A better man would’ve walked away by now, but I never claimed to be any good. I only promised myself I’d keep enough distance. If I’d learned one thing from my past, it was that love came in different forms. You could love passionately, hurt deep, die young. Or you could provide the kind of firm, steady support someone else could lean on. Lake was everything I wanted, and nothing I could ever have. I was nobody before I knew her and a criminal after. The way to love her was to let her shine—even if it would be for somebody else.

Book two in the Something in the Way series.’

'Somebody Else's Sky' Novel Review -

After finishing this novel, I gave ‘Somebody Else’s Sky’ 4/5 stars. It's been a while since I’ve read the first novel, but I was glad that the second installment didn’t start off confusing.

After getting back on board the Lake and Manning ship, I’m starting to realize how much I’ve missed them. Although it's going to be a very long time before they end up being together officially *silent sobs*.

The most enjoyable part of this novel was that it was written from the perspective of Manning. Yes gorgeous, carved, muscly Manning. It was really interesting to read about how Manning was able to survive jail and still keeping his mental state stable.

To anyone who is interested in Jessica Hawkins writing, I would recommend reading her 'Something in the Way' series. You'll easily fall in love not only with the characters but with the story line. In my opinion it's a bit of a new take on suspenseful contemporary novel.

All in all, I really enjoyed this novel and only recently I found out that there was a fourth book to this series *excited squeals*. Obviously, I will be reading the third and fourth books. The 2018 TBR is turning into something that my avid reader can’t handle!!
