The story Out of The Box Regifted (Out of the Box Book 2): A Second Chance Romance Series by Jennifer Theriot is the next book in a series that I would call amazing to read. After reading the first one I jumped right into the second and I was not disappointed. In this story Olivia starts to become a different woman than she was before. She is starting to take control of her life and face the demons from her past. Olivia is a character that I grew to care about with each chapter that I read and I found myself wanting her to find happiness in her life. Ash’s character also becomes more defined and I loved reading about him just as much as Olivia. The story does take your emotions on a rollercoaster ride that doesn’t stop until you have finished the final page. Highly recommended.
