Gavin MacCormack found the one. He fell in love. Hard. Until one night he ran out for some ice cream and came back to an empty dorm room, closets bare and nothing but a quick hand-written note saying, I’m sorry. Those two words taught Gavin the meaning of heartbreak. A feeling he never wants to encounter again. And as the lead singer of a Grammy award-winning band he's had plenty of opportunities for casual, no-strings fun, which is just the way he likes it. Dani Winters has had more names than birthdays. On the run with her father for nearly as long as she can remember, she’s lived her life by three rules—always plan for the worst, maintain a low profile at all costs, and never let anyone get too close. Except she broke that last rule once and her heart has never forgiven her. One chance encounter changes everything. Seeing Dani resurrects feelings in Gavin he thought were long buried, and this time he’s not letting her disappear without getting some answers. But Dani’s life is the definition of complicated and she’s playing with fire by letting Gavin back in. When the time comes to run again, Dani needs to decide if a life without love is worth living, or if it’s time to stop running and fight.
⭐️ 2.5 "Disappointing" Stars ⭐️
The Way Back to Us was a disappointment for me. I was really curious about this second chance romance from reading the synopsis, so I decided to give it a try. I personally didn’t feel the chemistry between Gavin and Dani and had trouble connecting with the story. I need to feel something when I read a book, and most of this one the only emotion I felt was boredom. This read wasn’t all bad, but I found myself struggling to keep reading. However, on a better note I enjoyed the suspense surrounding Dani’ life on the run. I was interested about the reason behind it. I also liked the sense of family between the band members and their girlfriends. In conclusion, The Way Back to Us wasn’t exactly what I was expecting and left me unconvinced.
