If you're a sucker for second-chance romances, BACK TO US by Ava Greene is a must-read. As the fifth book in the Double-edge Love series, it delivers an emotional rollercoaster that’s both sweet and heart-wrenching.

The story follows Anna and John, whose love is tested when Anna leaves their small coastal town to pursue her music dreams in LA. John selflessly lets her go, but their separation takes its toll. The way Greene captures their longing and unresolved feelings is painfully relatable—like watching two people who belong together but can’t quite make it work.

What I loved most was the authenticity of their reunion. When John spots Anna through the window of her new coffee shop (talk about serendipity!), the tension is palpable. You can feel his shock, her hesitation, and the unspoken 'what ifs' hanging between them. The hurricane subplot adds a layer of urgency and drama that pushes them toward closure—or maybe a new beginning.

That said, this isn’t a flawless read. Some reviewers found it harder to connect with compared to other books in the series, and at times, the pacing feels rushed (it’s a short read). But if you’re looking for a quick, emotionally charged romance with well-drawn characters and small-town charm, BACK TO US delivers. Just keep tissues handy for the final chapters!
