Artificial Love
The "Good bye" Trilogy Book Two
By Alisa Mullen
** This is the 2nd book in bestselling suspenseful The Good Bye Trilogy***
Johnny Lennox, lead guitarist of Love Sick Ponies, tried to love once. Diligent, loving, attentive, and giving, he is not. Obsessive. Compulsive. Self-sabotage. That sounds more like it. And why not? Jules Delaney, the one girl he ever tried to love, is gone and her absence continues to ruin his life in and out of the band.
Emily McDonald got the word “nice” when she was twelve. Nice. Nice. Nice. She is a nice woman. Because she is so nice - her husband likes to cheat, her friends like to take advantage of her, and her self-esteem is dead. Late one night, Johnny and Emily find themselves sleeping only a few feet away from one another – an awkward situation that can’t be rectified. Until… They begin to share their experiences from childhood into adulthood. They experience unexplained events together. Ultimately, they rock the LSP tour bus, where they find a different kind of love in one another. When the tragedy strikes, they must ignore their instinct, expectations, and other people's judgment to fight for one another. Were they only artificially thrown together or did they fall into that genuine kind of love?
Mature Audiences only please. This is a continuation of The Good Bye Trilogy and should be read in order. Elastic Hope, the final installment, is due out later 2015.

**I received an ARC for an honest review.**
So, when I started this book I was sure that I would HATE Johnny still, but I was wrong. I found myself really liking the person that he became over the course of this book. I liked that once he and Emily met he started to change. Things that never mattered to him before started to matter. Things he never thought he would want, he started to want. And most importantly things he never wanted to let go slowly began to fade away and not be so important to him.
I really enjoyed getting to be apart of how much both Emily and Johnny helped each other move on with their lives. I liked that there friendship and then relationship was so easy to grow. They fit each other perfectly, especially for the things they were both trying to overcome.
I am however a little ticked by the ending. I did not want this book to finish, because I wanted Emily and Johnny's whole story. I wanted a different outcome, even though it was still fulfilling by the complete transformation that Johnny's character made. I just was not ready let go of these characters, just yet. I look forward to the installment of this series!
