After reading A Story of Now (review here) I was really excited for the next part. Well and a little bit wary, because a lot of the time second parts aren't as good as the first one. Luckily not in this case!

The Sum of These Things picks up where the story ended, which I really liked. No big time gasps that get explained in a few words, the reader gets to experience everything along with Claire and Mia. And you really experience everything. I've felt the happiness, the anger and the sadness myself (heart-break warning).

The beginning is a little bit slow, because there is lots of kissing and being in a new relationship going on, but I still liked reading about those few steps, because both women are just so cute together.

While the problems the pair has to face are not new, they are realistic and very believable. Everything makes sense and it doesn't seem to be too much. Bonus points for no clichés by the way. I was prepared for some, but I prepared in vain.
