Pfffff je suis déçue par ce tome ... Je gardais un bon souvenir de Jet et j'avais hâte de lire son tome, mais là, je dois dire que ça n'a pas fonctionné. Les premiers 30%, lorsqu'ils sont aux Fidji, sont tout de même plutôt réussis, que ce soit au niveau de l'esprit de bande et de potacherie qui règne, mais aussi en ce qui concerne les retrouvailles entre Jet et Soren.
Cependant, le reste du livre ... je me le suis traîné comme un boulet. La romance est peu développée, ou en tout cas pas comme je le voudrais. Finalement j'ai lu les 70 % en étant peu motivée, j'ai survolé certains passages. J'ai bien aimé l'humour de ces personnages, et certaines répliques sont drôles et font mouche, cependant, la romance manque pour moi d'intensité, je m'attendais vraiment à autre chose ...
Une déception donc, même tout n'est pas "à jeter" dans ce livre.

So sad that I really did not enjoy this book. It was not bad, it was just not a book for me.
It felt like it had too much emphasis on their careers and the past relationships, so much so that the relationship between Soren and Jet got lost for me.
I did enjoy the last 20%, it felt like I could finally connect a little to the characters but I really had to force myself to get to that point. Perhaps I had too high expectations because I really wanted to see the story between these two.
I don’t regret reading it because we get to see glimpse in the lives of everyone else in the series.

It's 4am, and I am kinda pissed off at this. Almost as pissed as I am towards Soren, lol. Read it till the end because my brain can't drop anything apparently but so many things just did not work for me in this book.
Soren 30ish, hooks up with Jet, 20, even though he keeps on insisting he barely looks legal. It's only the morning after that Soren learns Jet is his friend's little bro and oh, no. So they go their separate ways, Soren gets back into a relationship with his asshole ex and Jet goes on to become a rock star. And falls in love with a boy band member. So that's a mess. They meet again, both heartbroken, on a hot vacation in fijii and they rekindle their relationship.
This book is so damn messy, they're acting like the world is ending over a goddamn ONE NIGHT STAND, and bam it's true love and angst and BROKEN HEARTS???? Like please, have some self-respect! The relationship makes no sense, they had zero chemistry. It feels like Jet is hooking up with an older guy to prove he is not a kid and Soren feels like he is hitting mid-crisis. Soren literally speaks and behave like he is in his early twenties, and that was so damn annoying. You're 33, you should know better! And not be weird! I don't necessarily mind when characters are separated and have other relationships before getting back together, but the love triangle here was kinda icky. Both of them were in love with each other even during their long term relationship? Ewww. And the way Soren immediately jumped on the occasion to bone Jet again gave me bad vibes, I just do not like this man at all.
The plot was ??? The love triangle was ??? But lowkey I am kinda interested in Harley's book now... Because apparently I'm a fucking masochist. I hate it here. Will go to sleep (angry) now, read the last book of the series tomorrow and finally set myself up for disappointment by finally circling back to where I started from - Peyton Miller's book.
holy CRAP I am so annoyed at this book

Started out strong with the second (or third) chance encounter in the present mixed with the “past” chapters, but why did this end up reading like a set up of Harley’s book? After so much time in previous books setting up Jet’s character it could’ve been better.
As always the audio narration was fab though!
