After everything that went down between her and James, she wants her quiet, invisible life back. But life at Maxton Hall doesn’t make it easy.James, meanwhile, is dealing with his mother’s death and the pressure of all of his father’s expectations. What’s really special about Save You is how it plays on and balances Ruby’s pain and James’s attempt to change as a person. He’s broken, but he is trying, and that gives their story the edge we have all come to love.There’s also a major plotline involving a photo scandal, as edited pictures of Ruby and her English teacher surface, and everything spirals out of control. Ruby thinks James is behind it, which totally wrecks the fragile trust they’d been rebuilding.The book doesn’t just focus on romance, but rather on consequences, identity, and growing up in a world that constantly tries to break you down. Save You ends with another punch in the stomach, leaving Ruby and James’s future uncertain and perfectly setting up Save Us, the third and final book.Mona Kasten’s literary world and Maxton Hall Season 2Mona Kasten’s Maxton Hall trilogy became a global hit for a reason.
