My guilty read. I enjoyed book 2 as much as book 1. We follow Em this time as she enters a speech competition. It is all pretty standard YA romance do don't expect high literature. But I read it during a day of travel and enjoyed every minute.

I would of giving this book a five star if it wasn't too detailed, when a book is too detailed I just feel like skipping those parts. When an author describes even how sprinkles look in a coffee makes me want to skip that book. I call those fill ins to make the book longer but what kept me reading was the change of heart of our lead girl. Loved that the author changed the course of the romance. It make me appreciate the uniqueness of this book. Other authors would of probably taken the unrealistic route having Mel and her long distance boyfriend fight against the odds and live happily ever after.
Kris was adorable kind of pompous but when I got to read more about him I saw past his I know it all and I can do it better attitude.

Overall I loved the book!
Can't wait to read the third book, I hope they survive another debat/competition trip together.

This book fell flat for me. I didn't connect with the characters, and I didn't enjoy the chemistry between the love interests.
Not for me.

Thanks for the opportunity to read and review.

4 Stars!
The second book in the Ever After Series was a great follow up to Bookishly Ever After. I loved reading about Phoebe and Dev still, although the focus of this book is on Em and Kris. Em loves theatre and acting and is fighting for a scholarship to university, while being chosen as a finalist and spending a week in Boston she finds out her rival from school Kris is going to be there too. I love books that take place out of of the characters comfort zone! The banter between Em and Kris was great and really fun to read. Enjoyable book for YA, would definitely recommend! I'm hopeful there is a 3rd in the series!

I think I overall liked this book better than Bookishly Ever After. For some reason, Em was a lot easier to relate to than Phoebe. I kind of wanted to hate Kris at first but quickly realized that would be impossible. I really liked the speech contest setting.

I kind of wish Em had been able to kick Will's ass in person rather than through chat because he deserved a lot worse than he got.

I hope there will be a third book in this series. I'd really like to read from Grace's perspective as well.

Isabel Bandeira rocks! I read Dramatically Ever After in one sitting! Devoured it and had a book hangover the next day. Great characterization, super fast paced dialogue kept the plot moving forward. I loved Em - she was as real as they get and I work with teens! Kris and Em have skyrocketing chemistry *fans herself* - I just love the friends to lovers stories. Can't wait to see what this author writes next! Highly recommend this book!

Dramatically Ever After by Isabel Bandeira is the second book in the Ever After Series that is scheduled to be release on June 6, 2017 by Spencer Hill Press and is a young adult novel. This book is a follow up to Bookishly Ever After which mainly focused on Phoebe. While Dramatically Ever After is focused on Em. The book continues almost where it left off. Em is in theater because she loves acting, but she also loves history too. She is trying very hard to get a scholarship so that she can attend the university of her dreams. Her mood is dampened when she learns that she is not the only one who was chosen to complete in US Youth Change Council. Kris Lambert the senior class president, also got a spot. Together, they are to spend a week in Boston with the other winners. Can she handle Kris’s big ego? Given their past she does not think much of Kris. However, Kris surprises her by being nice to her and they share a very sweet moments. Will this new found peace backfire for them at weeks end? You will have to read the book to find the answer to that question. I found this to be a sweet, fun read. Bandeira does an amazing job creating the plot line and characters in a way that will leave you guessing from page to page about what will happen at the end!
