Wide Spaces A Wide Awake Novella Book 2 edition by Shelly Crane Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

This novella picks up where Wide Awake left off. Mason and Emma are planning a New Year's wedding. Mason is as sweet as ever. A revelation during one of his mother's lucid moments gave him some closure about the accident and allowed him to let go of some of his guilt. But accidents just won't stop affecting this couple.
In the previous book I was wondering why Adeline's storyline didn't take off and my questions about that were answered in Wide Spaces.
The couples "I Wills" they spoke during their honeymoon were sweet. It was just an all around sweet book. I'm looking forward to Milo's book though, I'm sure it will be full of angst.
As always, when it comes to Shelly Crane's written works, Wide Spaces is another winner! I thoroughly enjoyed this extra look into Mason and Emma's lives. We fell in love with these characters in Wide Awake due to the talented writing skills of Shelly Crane. She puts her whole heart into her writing and it is obvious by the detail and care she provides with her characters and storyline. I read this novella in one sitting and could not put it down. If you have not read Wide Awake, what are you waiting for? Read it now. Then enjoy Wide Spaces as an extra special treat to see where Mason and Emma's story leads next. I highly recommend this book, as well as any other book written by Shelly Crane.
4-1/2 Stars

Wide Spaces is the continuation of Mason and Emma's relationship after Wide Awake. Is it weird that I liked this novella even more than the first book? This time around I instantly felt Mason and Emma's connection and loved getting reacquainted with their story. Yes, they are a little gushy, lovey-dovey at times. But if you are familiar with Shelly Crane's writing, you expect this. It was sweet to see their interactions not just with each other, but with other family members, and I think that made the story even more special. Along with the sweetness and tenderness, there is also a bit of suspense and drama thrown in. I actually appreciated the drama and that it made things more real, more intense, and made the characters even more honest and open with each other. Then we get the sweetness at the end of this novella - and I really liked how Crane handled this. It was beautiful, tender, genuine, and I loved it!

Altogether, this is a special treat and a great read for Wide Awake and Shelly Crane fans. I suggest reading these books in order as Wide Spaces would be very spoilery if you haven't read Wide Awake yet. There is also a guest appearance which makes me very excited about Wide Open.

Bonus! At the end we get a special sneak peek at the next Significance book. If you are a fan of that series, you will be thrilled with these preview chapters. So excited!
Rating 4.5

Mason says, “For the first time, I felt like my life wasn't a testament to my guilt and It was a testament to how love finds you in the strangest places, and hope clings to us in the nooks and crannies we never think to look. The gap between the man I used to be and the man I was now was a wide space that was filled with all the ways Emma had saved and changed me. ~Shelly Crane, Wide Spaces

Wide Spaces is a part of the 12 Novella’s of Christmas. Wide Spaces is a novella that follows up with Emma and Mason from the book Wide Awake. I suggest reading Wide Awake(the first book in the series) before reading Wide Spaces. I am glad that I saw this Christmas novella because I wanted to read Wide Awake and this gave me the push to finally read it.

The novella takes place about a year after Wide Awake and it is Emma and Mason’s first Christmas together. Mason is working at the tattoo shop fulltime and the business is doing well. At the beginning of the story, Emma’s father Rhett is having a retirement party and Mason plans to ask him for his daughters hand in marriage. Mason gets nervous because Emma’s parents have not been to keen on their relationship. They loved Mason when he was Emma’s physical therapist but when Mason started dating Emma, they were no longer singing his praises. I am glad that this book provided some insight into where Emma’s parents were coming from and why they were not happy with Emma and Mason’s relationship. When I read Wide Awake, I was not happy with the way Emma’s mother started treating him when they became a couple.

Rhett to Mason, “Emma is a big girl and I trust her judgment on things. It's just… she wakes up, she doesn't remember us at all or want a whole lot to do with us, and then she takes one look at you and for whatever reason, she is completely latched onto you. We just wanted her back and then she… just wanted you."

He stood, sighing. "I know. Mason, we know you. It just took us off guard is all. You helped us when we were so lost for what to do after Emma's accident. You stayed with us for months and helped us and Emma. You could have passed us off or just not cared because no one thought she was going to make it. But you always believed." He held out his hand. "You're already a son to us, Mason. Now it's official." ~ Shelly Crane, Wide Spaces

I am happy that Rhett and Mason were able to clear the air and get back to the way things were before he and Emma got together. It was nice that they reconciled.

Of course Emma says, Yes. They plan to have a New Years wedding. Mason gets a little Christmas miracle when his mother because coherent for a little while. It only lasts for a short time. Mason’s talk with his mother gives him closure. Finally he gets the absolution that he so desperately needs. I wish that Mason’s mother could have got her memory back for good. Sadly, Mason’s younger brother Milo is still on a destructive path in this book. There is hope and Mason never stops hoping that they can reconcile.

It is not completely smooth sailing for Emma and Mason. There are a few times when Mason speaks before he thinks and Emma worries that Mason feels guilty for loving her. There are a couple misunderstandings between them in the story. Plus, they have to deal with a dangerous snow storm. (view spoiler)

It was really nice to get to see more of Mason and Emma in this novella. It was a long novella so it was almost like a full length novel. I loved the incorporation of the useless facts in this book. It was a nice nod to Wide Awake where Mason bought Emma the Useless Facts books. Mason shows even more what a wonderful guy he is and what a great husband he will be to Emma. Emma adjusts really well to her new life and I really like the new Emma. In some ways it turns out to be a blessing that Emma never recovered her memories. I liked that they took things slow with their relationship. The epilogue was satisfying. It ends with Emma and Mason in a happy place.

Emma says of her new life, “This wasn't the life the old me would have picked or even wanted. But I wanted it. I chose it. It chose me. I would forever be grateful for the way life doesn't turn out like we planned.” ~ Shelly Crane, Wide Spaces

I was hoping that Milo would get a story and he does. The third and final book in the series is Milo’s story Wide Open.
