Bittersweet Always is a fantastic addition to the series. I love how the author tackles mental health issues amongst college students. I very much recommend this book. 
Rating: ★★★★
​Release Date: May 4, 2018
Genre: New Adult, College Romance.  
Series: Gray Springs University #2 (can stand alone) 

Pages: 365 pages

From bestselling author Ella Fields comes an all new standalone. An emotional new adult romance that proves love is worth fighting your demons for.


Toby Hawthorne was an enigma.
One I didn’t factor into my college plans.

I wasn’t looking for love.
I wasn’t not looking for it either.
And in that state of in-between, he found me.

Unaware of the battle he fought everyday, I fell fast. 
By the time I found out, it was too late.
Because I wanted everything.
Every broken, lost part of him.
I knew I couldn’t fix him. I could only love him. But I should’ve known better than to think that was enough.

Release Date: May 4, 2018
Genre: New Adult, College Romance
Actual Rating: 4.5 stars

First, let me start off by saying that I love how Ella Fields tackled adolescent mental health issues in this book. Many tend to stay away from these issues within their novel either because they don't know if readers will connect with the characters or simply because they don't know enough about said issues. That's fine of course, authors should write what they know and what they are comfortable with. Ella Fields on the other hand DOES tackle these issues within Bittersweet Always and I think she does an amazing job with it. Not only did I connect with EACH character, but I felt compassion and riveted because of it. Bravo! 

For those who haven't had the pleasure of reading book 1 in this series (https://amzn.to/2KES2M4) don't fret! Each of the books can technically stand alone. The characters from the previous book ARE secondary characters to this one, but they don't play a big enough role to make this one unreadable on it's own. Of course, I recommend book 1, but you can read in any order. 

This is a new adult, college romance novel. It's an emotional love story between two individuals who are clearly meant to be together yet, something begins to slowly get in their way of an HEA. Unfortunately, this thing is a mental health issue, on that has the capacity to do a lot of damage to both their relationship and their individual lives. Readers will go on this journey with Pippa and Toby as they struggle not only with young love, but nearly debilitating issues that cause a heap of troubles and feelings that can stand in their way. 

For those who love new adult, college romances, this is a must read book/series. You get the feel of the college experience, the feel of young love, and a whole lot of sexiness in between! There are emotional parts of course but they don't take up the entire story. I very much recommend it!

★★★★

The Gray Springs University Series

While these books are interconnected, they can easily stand alone.
