More like 4.5 stars. I really enjoyed this book. It was by far my favorite so far in the series. Cam and Lucy’s story was so emotional. Their love so great. I loved to read about all of Lucy’s personality. I loved how she was so passionate and fun with life but also she felt so much.

I don't think any other book had made me laugh and cry as much in one sitting. One of the good ones.

Cam and Lucy were so perfect, they were and are my favourite More Than couple.
Watching their love evolve over the years was beautiful and it still makes my heart ache thinking about it.

I fell in love with Cam and Lucy the first time they were mentioned in the original book of this series. So to suffice it to say, I was excited to read a whole book about them, and man, Jay McLean did not disappoint. Their story was brilliant and beautiful.
My favorite thing about this book was that it went beyond what most books in this genre deliver. It gave us the magical falling in love stage, but then it morphed into something more, where we saw the characters have to really fight for their love. The fell in love at such a young age, that by the time they were in their twenties, they got comfortable and let other things start to detract from their relationship. They didn't have a good grasp on when to fight and when to push and pull between all the stresses in their lives. Then it didn't help that fate stepped in and knocked their unstable asses even further out of equilibrium. This story exhibited just how hard it is to fight for what you love, knowing that it might not pay off, but showing you just how brilliantly love can make your life better. This book doesn't pull punches and make it so that all conflicts can be solved within a few blinks of the eye. Bad things take serious amounts of time and work to overcome them, or at least to move on. And good things aren't nearly as good until they are tested make it out on the other side of the storm.
The next book, seems to be as though it will be about Dylan and Heidi. I'm not certain, but that would be my guess. I have never felt too much (good or bad) towards these characters, however I've felt a lot of good things towards this author, so I have no doubt that Jay McLean will leave me falling in love with Dylan and Heidi's story. I can't wait to read more.

Out of the couple so far in the series I enjoyed Cam & Lucy the least but it still was s good book that I devoured in a few hours. I'm excited for the next book. I assume it will be about Heidi and Dylan. We haven't heard too much about either of them yet so I'm excited to hear their story.

five stars isn’t nearly enough to rate them. since this is my all time favorite book i think it’s only fair i give it a proper review.
from the first moment i met lucy i felt an instant connection to her character. then along came cameron, and together they literally changed my life. these characters have become a safe place for me to escape whenever the world becomes too much.
i have cried endless tears for them, i have laughed so hard i almost peed, and my phone has been thrown into walls. there’s so many emotions i can’t even begin to express them. the fact that there’s another book on the way makes me so excited i can’t even start.
there’s absolutely no doubt in my mind that this book will be with me for the rest of my life.
aaand, some of my favorite quotes;
“because it’s eternal, the rise and fall of the sun. it’s forever. just like us.”
“there is a love so fierce it cannot be measured.
a heart so strong it will never slow.
there is a promise so sure it can never lie.
and we promise that love forever.
forever and always.”
“i love you, lucy. i’ll always love you, even if you don’t know it. so... even if forever isn’t eternal, i promise to love you for our forever.”
“i really like you, cameron."
i grin. "yeah?"
"yeah," she says dreamily.
and then my heart begins to race.
my palms begin to sweat.
and all I can hear is the blood pumping in my ears.
"good," i respond, and then inhale a huge breath. "because i'm kind of in love with you, lucy.”
“because in a time of nothing but pain, and anger, and emptiness, and hurt... he healed me.
he made it stop.
he made it better.
he made me fall in love.
love.
i love him.”
“you're not an object, i don't want you to think that i own you."
she shrugs. "why not? i'm yours.”
