Yours And Mine

The highly anticipated sequel to Positively Mine….
Picking up from the dramatic ending of Positively Mine, Yours and Mine continues the Freshman Forty series as we meet Danny Santoro, Laurel’s baby’s father, for the first time.
It’s been almost a year since he last saw her, that sultry morning she walked off the beach before dawn had even cracked the August sky. It seemed from her silence, she was out of his life forever.
But Laurel’s timing couldn’t be worse to tell him he’s a father. The last year hasn’t been easy. Danny’s own father was arrested for a DUI, his mother moved out, and Danny started sleeping with his brother’s old high school, drug-abusing girlfriend.
After Laurel shocks him with the news, she attempts to relinquish Danny of any parental responsibility leading to a heated custody battle. In an unorthodox arrangement, an eccentric judge orders Danny and Laurel to spend alternating weekends with each other for the upcoming school year.
Told from Danny’s point of view, Yours and Mine explores the second chapter of a romance that never got off the ground, the challenges of young parenting, and the hope of rekindled love.
My Review:
4 Stars!
Yours and Mine is the second book in the Freshman Forty series and I would highly recommend reading book one before you read this one. However, there is basically much of book one but told from Danny’s perspective.
This emotional read is the story of two people who met one summer and reconnected each of the next three summers. The last summer they were together, Danny leaves Laurel a life-long present. She is pregnant and she hasn’t told anyone. Danny’s life is a mess and he is self-destructing. When he learns of the baby, he slowly starts to change. Together, they learn to cope and love and mature.
This was a sweet story with some tough topics. The writing was great and the characters will break your heart, but I highly recommend this book!
