Interrupted (Progress Series #2) by Amy Queau

Are you ready for the emotional rollercoaster of a sequel to Progress?  Interrupted (The Second Book in The Progress Series) by Amy Queau picks up exactly where Progress ended.  After the events of the first book, we find Charlie and Jesse going their separate ways.  While, Charlie moves on seemingly quickly, Jesse has a harder time.  I give this book 5 stars because it will make you laugh, cry, shake your head and believe in "normal" love again!

I view this book as Charlie's coming of age story.  Her relationship with Jesse has made her realize things about herself and she starts changing her life for the better.  She gets a better job, moves out of her parents' house, and starts a healthy relationship with a man named Samuel.  Charlie and Sam's relationship develops throughout the middle of the book.  Samuel is everything that Jesse couldn't be to Charlie and their relationship is so genuine and real.  Ms. Queau does a fantastic job of allowing us to fall in love with the story of Samuel and Charlie that made me question my conviction for a happy ending for Jesse and Charlie.  Sam and Charlie go through the normal bumps in the road that every couple has with some added twists, of course. 

While Charlie's world is progressing so well, Jesse's is falling apart.  After months apart Jesse re-enters Charlie's life only to once again bring chaos and an instant attraction.  The pull between those two is just as strong in Interrupted as it was in Progress.  Jesse is Charlie's weakness and that comes through so well in the writing.  But, will the entrance of Jesse back into Charlie's life cause more chaos, or can they learn to be just friends with their undeniable attraction to each other?

The beginning of this book starts out going into minor details and skipping forward.  This was a little distracting in the beginning, but once I read the entire book, I understood the reason for this.  Keep on reading!  It only gets better and more emotional.  But be warned, you may want to have a box of tissues next to you when you read this book.  I can't wait for the third book in The Progress Series to come out.  Charlie and Jesse's story is one of those stories that you will never forget!
