"In 9 Days" ended in a somewhat upsetting manner so "9 Days and Counting" is the breath of fresh air needed to see what happens with Tesse and Luke (aka Kevin). Luke is on the run from his father who started the fire causing his scars. We pick up 3 years later with Tesse at college trying to move forward without Luke but it is hard, he truly holds her heart. Just as Tesse starts to move forward with Jerrod, who has been her rock for 2 years, Luke reappears. What will Tesse do? This was the follow up to Red's book, In 9 Days. It picks up with Tesse now in college 3 years after Luke has left her. She has still been holding her first true love in her heart, but after three years of not hearing from Luke she has decided it might be time to move on. Just as her best friend of 2 years Jerrod is given the green light to proceed slowly, enter Luke. Tesse is truly torn at the thoughts of a fresh new love and her first true love. Enjoyed the sequel, was happy to see where this story went. And who would end up with Tesse.
