The Way I Am Now is a heartbreaking, realistic, and passionate story of two people with lost souls and their journey as they find themselves and each other. It’s an emotional rollercoaster and a breathtaking sequel to The Way I Used To Be. It depicts Eden’s and Josh’s journeys of trauma, pain, loss, relationships, love, freedom, and what it means to heal. It picks up with the impending trial, where Eden must face the wrongs done to her in the past. The best part of the book is that we now also get to hear the story from Josh’s perspective, who happens to be my favorite character, and Eden’s perspective. This rollercoaster of a story is a book I 100% recommend adding to your reading list. It’s a great addition to any shelf. – Madison Hom, THS 10th grader
