I hate loving Penelope Douglas' books. Every time I start a new one, I'm thinking to myself, "This is the one. This book will finally push me to the edge, and I'll stop reading her books." And you know why? I can't keep going through all stages of grief, hate, love, or whatever with her. But here we go again.

THE THIRD ACT BREAK-UP - Why, Jax? Was it necessary?

It's on me. I keep reading books about 20-year-olds, and I'm mad they are acting like 20-year-olds.

And don't get me started with Tate and Jared. I read their book a year ago, and I knew what was coming, but COME ON!!!!

Me for the first half of the book: Yeah, push and pull, push and pull! Yeah, the tension!

Me for the second half of the book: Ugh, push and pull, push and pull. Ugh, the tension.


Quotes:

"I would remember that she loved me once."

Speechless

I've never experienced so many emotions, my default is anger but this book had me bawling my eyes out. I still don't know how to feel about that. Definitely felt hurt & sad for Juliet trying to break the cycle of her life , and feeling so lost. Jaxon for constantly overthinking about his last and thinking he'd never be good enough. Then happiness for how they ended up. Another fave series from Penelope Douglas

I was ready for this story as i loved all the other stories in this series. I couldn't wait to learn about Jax more, which I did. I feel he grew up with issues which can't blame him either his child hood but he is also a great guy compared to what he could have turned out to be. He never knew love as a child but was scared his love will come with hurt if he let people truly love him. Juliet ugh to be reminded everyday of someone else and still be as happy person goes to show even though she didn't know who she was she is a strong women that deserved more then Liam and her own mom gave her. My two favorite parts are when everyone shows Jax he isn't alone and he finally sees it and when Juliet takes the beauty bag from her mom. Good book just the back and forth that Jax did annoyed me a bit
