My Sweetest Escape My Favorite Mistake Book 2 edition by Chelsea M Cameron Literature Fiction eBooks

This book is a sequel to My Favorite Mistake. The heroine Jos (short for Joselyn) is the younger sister of Renee, a secondary character from the first novel. Along with another couple from the first book, Renee and her boyfriend Paul are living in a house owned by Taylor and Hunter, the main characters from book one. Jos used to be studious, goal-oriented, conservative and somewhat prim. At the opening of this book she has gone through some type of shattering, life-altering event that caused her personality to change completely. She became very wild and out of control. Her wild phase has ended (although no one else trusts that), but she has become very closed off and distant. Her parents have forced her to leave her original college, transfer to Renee's college, and live in the same house with Renee and the others. Renee loves Jos and is worried about her, but her worry has caused her to become a combination mother figure/prison guard figure in Jos's life. She has also enlisted the help of the others in the house to watch out for Jos, too. Jos, who is 19, has a curfew and has to report all of her comings and goings. (No wonder she is hostile!) The reader knows Jos is carrying a lot of guilt but it takes a long time to understand why she feels this way. She meets Dusty at a vending machine at the hospital (Jos is forced to be there until the end of her sister's shift). It turns out Dusty is a friend of Hunter's, and he is a frequent visitor to the house. An attraction sparks between them, but Jos fights it. An unexpected discovery puts the brakes on the relationship that gradually develops, but it all works out in the end. I really liked Dusty; he was a great hero. Jos was less likeable, but you could understand why when you learned her secret, plus her sister Renee really was over the top with the overprotective bit. I enjoyed being able to catch up with the other couples from the first book. I'd actually rate this one about a 3.7.

My Sweetest Escape My Favorite Mistake Book 2 edition by Chelsea M Cameron Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

*Warning I have already read the books I am covering, any and all posts may and do contain spoilers.

Overall My Sweetest Escape is a good read but not something I would gush about over coffee convincing a friend to read. A lot of books in this genre are self published and you can end up buying a nightmare of a book to get through. Escape was an easy read without constant publishing and editing errors. It was sweet. In my opinion a little too PG though, I like my books a little steamier; more sex scenes. Scenes that get you a little hot and bothered. This book just doesn’t do that. It’s a cutesy read about two people with secrets and self hate that fall for each other and bring one another out of a dark place.

Even though Escape is book 2, it can basically be read as a stand-alone. The characters from Mistake are heavily integrated in Escape so you still get glimpses into their lives since Jos has taken up residents in their newly acquired Yellowfield home. I did think it was odd the author had neatly paired off all the main co-characters in the first novel and then had two brand new characters for the second installment. You didn’t get the chance to have someone to root for in part 2. Normally books that take on new characters in book 2 focus on the friend or roommate who was there for the ride in part 1. You had already been hoping for the happily ever after for that person by the time you sit down to read their story. Jos and Dusty are characters that were not in Mistake at all. I do think it would have been better to have some overlap between the two books. Like if Jos would have come for a visit one weekend in book 1 and been a total train wreck or if Hunter would have known Dusty before and we got a view into him and his relationship with all the Yellowfield House members.

Cameron also uses some of the same phrases for Taylor (Mistake) and Jos (Escape). The books are two different characters. In my opinion, the fact that these two girls were written by the same author shows. Using word for word phrasing for two points of view for two separate characters when writing the inner monologue is a little repetitive and strange. Each girl is her own person and how many people do you know that think word for word like you? Example “Oh, if he hadn’t said please.” In Mistake Taylor thinks this phrase a couple of times and then Jos thinks it word for word in her own head in Escape. Both girls think it when giving into an argument with their romantic interest. More differentiating in writing Jos’s personality from Taylor would have been much better for the writing. And the story itself.

All right, now lets talk about Jos and Dusty-

Jos Cameron definitely likes the pissed at the world main female for this series. I actually like the character of Jos better then Taylor, but for both books the female lead was an angry girl with a dark secret who falls in love even though she won’t admit she likes the charming boy with a dark secret of his own.
My next gripe with Jos is how strongly she believes that she committed murder and how she believes she only deserves bad karma toward her forever more. Then heavy make out sessions seem to cure fights and all the inner turmoil going on in the brains of this couple. Jos believes she is responsible for Nathan’s death so strongly that she has turned her life upside down and then all that vanishes with a kiss from Dusty. Seems a bit unrealistic to me and frankly a little too easy of a solution.

Dusty Beat boxing?! I mean don’t get me wrong, when people are really good beat boxers it does sound cool and I am sure it is a very difficult skill; but really?! It doesn’t exactly sound like the most alluring male romantic lead. Give me a hot guitarist or MMA fighter any day of the week… but beat boxer? I mean maybe I’m missing something here, I don’t know. I had this same train of thought when Cameron had all the male characters break out into a choreographed break dancing routine in the middle of a crowded club in book 1. Sounds a little ostentatious to me, and more boy band not hot badass. But through that I guess I should have been more prepared for the beat boxing.
In the same way I believe everything was solved too quickly with make out sessions I also thought it was strange that Dusty goes from “This can never happen.” to “I’m not going anywhere. Not even if you try to make me. Not again.” so quickly. Without Dusty’s point of view you’re kind of left thinking… How did he get from point A to point Z so fast? What changed?

I started this post out with saying My Sweetest Escape was a good read and then after re-reading my own words I feel like I have done a lot more ranting than raving. I guess it’s easier to point out the things we see wrong or dislike. I still stand by what I said though, it is a good read, and just not rave worthy I guess.
