Now I’m waiting for the new student I’m going to tutor for the rest of the semester. It’s already October, so we don’t have much time to turn his grades around; not that I’m worried. I’m good at my job. So good, I get the tough cases, and supposedly this one is extra tough. Glancing at my phone, I see my new student is almost ten minutes late. I’m only giving him fifty minutes, then. I have to go to my other job after this and don’t have time to wait for him. I work some nights and weekends at a crappy little diner downtown and I don’t really like it there. The boss is an arrogant jerk and the customers are grouchy. But the tips are decent, and I need whatever dollars I can get. We’ve found you a tutor,” the counselor says, pretending as if my sister’s outburst hadn’t happened. “You’re going to meet with her in an hour.” Speaking of the epilogue, wtf? The entire novel is romance this, romance that, blah blah blah but the second the love interest finds out the truth, you wanna time skip? hell no. The whole point was to see how she heals and how he grovels, apologizes and realizes his mistake but we only get that for one chapter and then it skips the epilogue, which time skipped four years (hence the book title) but we literally missed all the important details that happened between them. Like why are you adding romance as a main plot if we’re barely getting CRUMBS.

Monica Murphy has created an unforgettable series. Her writing is honest, gritty, romantic and entertaining. Her characters are very real people that readers can relate to. We embrace them in our hearts. Their lives and stories will stay with [us] long after the book is finished. It is no wonder that this series is an all-time favorite. . . . The One Week Girlfriend series has been an amazing reading journey that has touched my heart.” — Hesperia Loves Books All your grades have slipped tremendously, but you’re failing English Comp. That’s the class we need you to focus on at the moment,” Dolores the man-lady says. I needed it to end with them not talking to eachother, except the casual "hello" when they run in to eachother. I wanted him to end up being this big football player that has relationships but never one like the one he had with Becca and I wanted her to find a good, caring man that doesn't break her heart over and over again.This is nothing like the first book. Only the characters are the same but even they have totally different personalities. Right. Working a job you don’t even need, you little shit.” Fable hisses the last word at me, and it stings as if she’s lashed at my skin with a whip. Drew settles his hand on her arm, sending her a look that says “chill the hell out.” Como si fuera poco, por culpa de unas fotografías, todos creen que ella engañó a Ryan; sus amigos en común la evitan, los compañeros de clases la ridiculizan. Becca se esfuerza por contarle la verdad a Ryan, necesita su apoyo, su fuerza, pero este creyéndose traicionado la suprime completamente de su vida sin escuchar lo que ella tiene que decir: bloquea su numero telefónico, prohíbe que sus amigos le cuenten nada de su vida y, no conforme con eso, luego la humilla, la insulta y decide acostarse con cuanta cosa se mueva. Por lo que Becca, sintiéndose abandonada, toma la única solución que cree correcta: se niega a contar la verdad, después de todo nadie va a creerle, right? Maybe you forgive them. Maybe you’re friends with them. But the past stays behind you – especially in recovery. That’s usually the only time moving forward is bearable.

So she does. He has that sort of effect on her. The two of them together are so perfect for each other it’s kind of disgusting. I miss them. I’m alone, adrift in this town I grew up in, going to school here because this is what I wanted. Independence from them. He just took Ryan's side without hearing hearing her out, without even talking to her to ask what happened.Spoilers for the end: That chapter where Ryan finds out the truth was written really, really well. The slow realization, the devastation he felt...omg. I don't think I'll be forgetting this for awhile. Odio esta rape culture, odio el hecho de que sea tan común, tan normal. Fue horrible de leer. Horrible porque estas cosas sí que pasan. Y yo sabía que pasaban desde antes de leer este libro, ya sabía que mujeres y jóvenes en todo el mundo son violadas cada día, ya había leído otros libros que trataban el tema, pero nunca me había afectado. Es como si hubiese tenido una venda en los ojos todo este tiempo y de pronto pfff... desaparece y puedo ver toda está nueva oscuridad. Como les dije, tal vez me encontraba susceptible o tal vez es simplemente la forma en la que está escrito, pero sufrí. Sufrí como no tienen idea. Quería amarrar a Ryan y obligarlo a escuchar, luego quería quemarlo vivo. Quería sacudir a Becca y hacerla confesar, luego quería abrazarla y decirle todo va a estar bien. La historia me llegó al corazón... y lo apuñaló una y otra y otra vez. If you or anyone you may know has been sexually assaulted/harassed this book and review post might be a trigger. So that's my warning. All I know about the guy I’m going to tutor is that he’s a football player and he’s failing English. Considering I don’t pay attention to any of the sports teams at my college, I have no idea who he is beyond his name. My first instinct is that he’s a punk with a chip on his shoulder who hates the idea of being tutored by little old me.
