Something Like Winter - Book Review

Hello there again people of the internet! I'm back again today with another review for you all! Up this time is Something Like Winter by Jay Bell, which is the sequel to the wonderful Something Like Summer, here we go!!

Something Like Winter was everything i ever could have wanted in a sequel and oh so much more! All the aspects that i completely fell in love with during Something Like Summer were still there, but there were also these other amazing parts that i never knew i wanted. The parts that were 100% Something Like Winter were possibly the parts of this book that i loved the most, and the whole book was simply perfect.

Something Like Winter tells the story of Tim from Something Like Summer, and shows us his perspective of that first year with Ben, as well as all the other times that their characters came together in Something Like Summer, but with oh so much more. The parts of the book that told the story of Tim without Ben, something i longed for while reading Something Like Summer, were so brilliantly and beautifully written, and i even loved the characters that i hated. Tim's story was a perfect blend of familiar and original, mixing the best parts of his story with Ben with a story so uniquely his own in such a beautiful and heartbreaking way.

The new characters were all amazing, all of them being this amazing blend of good and bad characteristics that Jay Bell seems to have mastered. Getting to know the characters from Something Like Summer that i felt i knew so well in a whole new way was amazing, as was getting to know characters who i wanted to know more about the first time round. *cough*ERIC*cough* I never wanted this book to end!

Since i finished Something Like Winter i haven't prepared enough mentally yet to take on Something Like Autumn and Something Like Spring, but omg i cannot wait to get stuck into them both! As soon as i finish my current book i will be all over Something Like Autumn! I miss the characters, i miss Jay Bell's writing, and i miss being so involved in a story.

It's such a wonderfully perfect series so far, and i cannot suggest it enough! If you decide to give this series a chance, i promise you will not regret it one little bit!!
