Much better than book one in my view - gritty writing

What a heart-wrenching book

This was a wonderful conclusion to the first book, with so much strife growing these beloved characters. The anguish, pain, despair, love, hope, anger, joy... All the feels!

Autumn's attempts to keep everything together as it falls apart were ao very fitting for her character. Her relationship with the boys makes this an interesting non-love triangle in ways. The bromance between Conner and Weston is incredibly important, and I love the respect that was given to it.

Every aspect of Weston's new life felt very authentic, without being hamfisted or melodramatic.

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Wow. Just....wow.

Calling this book, or duet in general, a rollercoaster ride is a massive understatement.
The amount of pure heart-wrenching emotion emanating from these pages is indescribable. I felt my heart break and fuse back together again over and over as I read, and for the life of me I could not put this book down.

I honestly had quite a few issues with this book plot-wise, but it really didn't make a difference. I'm still giving it 5 stars. It deserves 5 stars. Beautifully written, emotional, unique, and hopeful, this series was everything I needed right now.

This book is perfect, absolutely perfect

"She's in love with my soul", he said. "And my soul is you."

Astonishing!

Whenever I read Emma's book, I firmly belive it's her best one, and that there's no way she could surpass it. And every time she proves me wrong.

Emma has a terrific warm writing style that's easily recognizable, I love how she clearly puts her stamp on every story she writes. She describes feelings in a fantastic matter of fact way that always makes me smile. Beautiful Hearts Duet is an original story with many different layers. There's romance, but family, friendship and fighting for happiness are also playing an important role. My emotions have never felt so viable. I admired this versatility and together with that fight for paralyzed frienship and also grief and anger and helplessness for it makes the story fabulously complete. Long Live the Beautiful Hearts is a story that I loved even more than Bring Down the Stars and it's a story that made my heart melt.

The Beautiful Hearts Duet ranks as one of my top favorites for 2018. This duet was typically a read that I don't normally go after. But in the end, we got a beautiful, yet painful read.

By now, I'm sure you've heard about the triangle aspect of this story. And I want to say that, well, it's just really tough to embellish more on that without giving anything away. I promise it's not what you think it is. But for once, I was rooting for every character involved, I wanted all of them to have a happy ending.

We were left with a bit of a cliffhanger and I was having sooooo many thoughts running through my head. I had no idea which direction it was going to go, but as I was making my way through this, I wasn't expecting to have my heart hurt so much during everything that was going on.

Weston went through a traumatic life-altering event while overseas and if anything I came out worrying for him the most. He had huge plans ahead of him, but there was no hard decision when it came to his best friend and brother, Connor. He would always be there for him.

I was mad at Connor for most of this book and I can't say that I'll ever really understand his reasoning for the way he acted after they came home.

And sweet Autumn caught in the crossfires of lies and love.

I hurt for each and every one of them. There were lies, betrayal, love, and even hope. All of them would get a happy ever after, but it wasn't the smoothest nor the easiest journey to get through.

Little by little, more time passed, one truth would be spoken only to have another lie sneaking up behind.

My heart hurt so much making my way through their story, but I put all my faith in Emma to give us a beautiful ending. And that she did.

Infinite love for these characters, their story, and author. I can't recommend this enough and I just loved Emma's story behind this duet. I'm sure it wasn't the easiest to write after everything she's been through, but I'd like to think that this was somewhat healing for her. You can feel the pain, but also strength in her words.

I hope everyone takes a chance on this rather different and completely unconventional love story.

Best duet, yet.
