Come Break My Heart Again: A Second Chance Romance (Fernwood Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 3,095 ratings

The first time Ryder James broke my heart, I was fifteen and fearless.

The second time he broke my heart, I was eighteen and jaded.

Both times, I fell for him effortlessly.

Falling is easy.

Our landings are hard. Painful.

We were a sad song with a slow melody. Flowers with paper petals. Hidden letters with visible tears. A beautiful tragedy.

Except tragedies have endings. Our story just … stopped.

Seven years later, I still have more questions than answers. Questions I’m too proud to ask after almost a decade of silence. Answers he refuses to share, no matter how much time we’re forced to spend together.

Everything’s changed … except how I feel about him. And the recurring moments when I’m certain Ryder hasn’t forgotten our past either.

Can you forget your first?

Or are they destined to keep breaking your heart … over and over again?

Everything you could want in a second chance romance
Shouting from the rooftops how much I loved this book. If you've been around for awhile you know I'm a fan of Charlotte' writing. But this is one of my favorites I've read so far.  This is a story about a boy with little to nothing to offer a girl who quite literally has everything she could ever want.. but all she really wants is him... even after he breaks her heart. Their story essentially spans over 10 years and while they endured so much hurt, it also made so much sense. The pacing of the dual timeline was perfect and had me turning the pages, unable to stop. The writing is so seamless and effortless and is just so enjoyable. The second (+ third) chance romance was angsty without being over the top, it wasn't full of unnecessary drama, everything felt plausible and real and I loved that.. their connection was so strong, and I could feel their tension through my Kindle. I could feel them looking at each other from across the room, felt giddy over their smiles and banter, and I fell in love with them in their little moments, their familiar touches, and comfortable silence.. through paper flowers and tic-tac-toe.. which let me just tell you, I already loved the cover.. but appreciate it even more now. What I wasn't expecting, but definitely experienced, was the tears. I cried multiple times in this book. Happy tears and sad ones too. But everything was handled in such a beautiful way. I truly loved every word of this book. And boy, do I love Ryder James. I need everyone to go read Come Break My Heart Again now 🩷

    Elle is a perfect rich girl “a one” who has everything going for her. But even though her life seems perfect it also feels so empty. Ryder is from the trailer park “a two” and has a harder time at life with his home life. They fell in love their freshman year of high school in secret until Ryder got shipped off to live with his dad Florida and never came back breaking Elle’s heart that he didn’t even say goodbye. Now two years later he’s back for their senior year and they quickly realize they are inevitable and never stopped loving each other. During their senior year Ryder gets arrested for selling drugs and breaks Elle heart once again when he won’t let her see him like that for the 7 years he’s in prison. Now that he’s out and their best friends are getting married to each other, being around each other is inevitable. This book time jumps back and forth between the now after Ryder gets out of prison and then when he came back for senior year. I loved this book so much!! It was a true meant to be together love story! Their banter and spice and chemistry was just off the charts the whole book and the good girl/ bad boy from the trailer park trope is so romantic. Even though Ryder is so far from being a bad boy, he was so sweet and just a great book boyfriend from the beginning. This book made me feel all the feels that I’ve been missing from books for a while.

    This romance was full of angst. C.W. Farnsworth did very well writing the past and the future. I particularly wanted to slap Ryder for not going after what he wanted, Elle. Ryder could have been more honest about his feelings because Elle should never spent a day feeling like she wasn’t good enough. Elle was the one who did the pursuing and Ryder couldn’t even grovel. The romance was very entertaining and I found myself lost in the pages.

    I liked the characters and the story line. I think it was unrealistic and unhealthy for the FMC to have been so hung up on the MMC, but it was an interesting story.

    I don’t normally like it when the chapters alternate between two time lines, and this was no exception.

    I knew this book was going to be a favorite for 2024, but I never realized how bad the book hangover would be..

    This book was so incredibly good. If anyone says anything different then we will have to have a conversation!

    Elle and Ryder’s story = chef’s kiss.

    I felt every emotion reading this book. The happy but heavy heart it has left me with, it’s going to be hard to pick another book for a few days!

    C.W. Is definitely in my top 5 favorite authors!
    I love her writing and most of the books I’ve read by her has been an instant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    But this one is my favorite.

    This was my first book by this author, and it’s very well written. From the dual POV and the past and present, it made it easier to read and follow along with the story line. It had tears rolling, heart flutters and butterflies all into one. It shows how life is in reality by reading how social classes of people can and can’t get along in life and how it spreads towards the younger generation. Definitely would recommend this book!

    This book is the second one I've read by this author and it did not disappoint! It was slow in the beginning, but then once you found out the history between Ryder and Elodie I couldn't stop put it down! There was so much mystery about what Ryder did too that just kept me wondering. I loved their relationship though and I'm so glad they got back together in the end. They've been through so much together and seeing their character development was heartwarming.

    Recommend if you enjoy:
    -second chance romance
    -opposites attract
    -dual POV

    Reviewed in Brazil on March 7, 2025
    Já li alguns livros da autora, esse definitivamente é o mais bem escrito até agora.

    Outros a história podia ser até mais interessante, mas esse ela desenvolveu muito bem a escrita. Adorei.

    Tem um pouco da fase high School e um pouco da vida adulta, bem balanceado.

    5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! as always, incredible
    Reviewed in Mexico on June 16, 2024
    I have always expressed CW Farnsworth is one of my favorite writers.
    This book, in the previous version is a favorite of mine. I really loved a heroine who was not doormat-y but completely incondicional and intentional about her actions and her love. She was unapologetic and I adored it.

    I didn’t know this book could become better, but it did. Having the hero’s pov changed the entire game. He adored her and that was clear, but nothing like having access to his thoughts and feelings first hand.

    This book is about unique love, opportunity and fighting for what you want, even if it seems impossible. 🩷
