Certainly, Possibly, You (Sucre Coeur, #2)

I’ve been a fan of Lissa’s work long before I knew she was writing them; I just knew the writing was amazing and I loved to revisit the stories whenever I could. Then she started writing the Sucre Coeur series and I begged her to let me read Definitely, Maybe, Yours because I knew it would be fantastic and it was. I loved the characters and the story and the world she created within that book. I wanted more and we’re blessed that Lissa has obliged and wrote this one.
I was given a sneak peek at it while she was still writing, not much, but I instantly fell in love with these characters as well. Sarita was familiar from the first book, but how can you not fall in love with Mari right from her introduction? She’s cute and quirky and a fissure of happiness and so damn delightful that I knew I wanted to know more of her. Lissa’s ability to write such deep and well thought out characters continues to astound me.
Lissa gives you everything you could want from a f/f couple with this book. There’s happiness and romance (though, thank god Sarita isn’t a hard case like Alex; I love the boy but I spent 90% of the first book wanting to knock him upside the head), sexy times (because yes), and the inevitable twist and turns of bad stuff happening to good people. Everything is done in such a way that you’re able to relate to it and you cheer for the girls to make it through, right down to the last page. (Cutting it kind of close there, weren’t you, Sarita, you stubborn thing.) There are times when you hold your breath, hoping they’ll work things out, hoping that this particular obstacle won’t end up being a problem, that this thing won’t be the thing that breaks the camel’s overfilled back. (Anyone else wanna kick Nicky’s butt with me?)
There’s dancing, frosting, coffee, nagging families, and everything that makes you think that maybe there’s someone out there for you, too. You’ll cheer for Mari and Sarita, just as you did for Alex and Craig, hoping that innate human stubbornness won’t trump the love these two women obviously have for each other. The characters jump out of the page with each turn and I, for one, was sad to see their story come to an end.
What amazing story will Lissa have for us next? I don’t know, but I’m certainly, definitely, excited for it.
