Reviews of Second Chance at Love

Second Chance at Love describes the pain and heartache teens go through on their path to adulthood. Ms. Schuler puts into words, beautifully, the feelings of growing up and the losses and gains encountered on the way. ... Although categorized as a young adult book, this story is one that can hold even an adult reader's interest--it held mine. Kudos to Ms. Schuler on another terrific book!

"Without giving away too much, I will say Betty Jo Schuler weaves a sweet story that will warm the heart. She also revives our hope that men like Tripp still exist somewhere. Her characterization is believable, even charming. A good book when you get tired of living on the edge."

Second Chance At Love by Betty Jo Schuler will capture your heart for eternity. Is it ever okay to withhold the truth? Tripp finds it extremely difficult to confide in Keely his secret. Should he take a chance and tell her the heart transplant he received was donated by her recently deceased boyfriend? How will Keely react when she discovers the truth? Will she believe Tripp truly loves her, or will she think it's Mark's heart? This tale isn't for only young adults, I recommend it for all those hopeless romantics.

In Second Chance At Love, Ms. Schuler balances a sweet love story with serious and timely issues, like the dangers of reckless driving and the importance of organ donation. She explores the difference between infatuation and love, and shows how vital trust and honesty are to any good relationship. Even more important, she shows the courage it takes to embrace life in the face of death. Though the themes in this story are serious, the book never drags. Second Chance At Love is a fast-paced, well-written novel that catches the reader's interest on page one and keeps it until the story's sweet and satisfying conclusion. For teens and adult readers alike, I give Second Chance At Love my highest recommendation: 5 Stars.

In my opinion, Betty Jo Schuler has done an excellent job of capturing the angst of high school years. Keely is dealing with her little brother, her schoolwork, and her unresolved feelings over Mark's death. Is it any wonder she's afraid to care about another boy?

The dialogue is natural and smooth, and the story progressed faster than I realized - I sat down and then became so involved that I read the book in one sitting. Second Chance at Love is a wonderful example of young-adult romance, exploring first love and new love from a point of view we all remember!
