It has been years I think since I read the first three books and many more books in between, so sorry if I dont quite recall what was in them, but I did like this one. Felt a little more real than the previous one, but still too much tears for my taste. Like these two books have oceans full of tears and there are no real people who cry this much as Lucy or Ryley for that matter. This was a good way to close the series. I am happy that I did stick around for all of them even if I dont recall the others as clear anymore.

this book felt unnecessarily long to me. it was just dragging and dragging and took forever to get through. felt more of a task to read than actually enjoyment.

I can’t believe it’s over!
Dylan and Riley were wonderful. Riley’s spunk and the fight inside her we’re almost larger than life, and I adored her! Dylan stole a piece of my heart, with his old school gentleman ways. But Dave? I fell so in love with him. Not in a romantic way, but in a way that I could imagine what it would be like to have in my own life, as one of my friends. He broke my heart. I could physically feel pain while Dylan dealt with his emotions. The ending was perfect, exactly how I would want things to be had this actually happened to me. Dave’s character will stay with my forever.

"More Than Enough" is the final story in the close knit group that we have learned to love. This time around we have the quiet Dylan who has come home on medical leave from the Marines. He then meets and quickly falls in love with the girl next door, Riley. I started this story not knowing what to expect. I mean, we don't know that much about Dylan other than that hes the strong and silent type.
The story touches on serious subjects such as PTSD, suicide, alcoholism, and more. I found myself ugly crying the whole time I was reading. They were just two messed up kids who truly have experience too much tragedy in their lives at their age. But... they found each other. They were each the glue the other needed to be put back together.
I loved learning about Riley and her troubled past. It astounds me how much she went through at such a young age. Losing the most important person in her world... I don't know if I could do it.
There were so many ups and downs with these two that it truly was a roller coaster. And with everything these two have gone through, its no wonder they push others away. They're afraid of getting close to someone. I am just so thankful that in the end, they let their hearts win.

Dylan and Riley met at a time that Riley was barely existing. She had been through something that broke her. Then Dylan Banks showed up and, in that moment, these broken people began to form a connection that would save them both.
Dylan has been a quiet force in the previous books in this series but when he barrels into Riley’s life something inside of him feels the pull he and Riley have and Dylan becomes the best version of himself. Riley was full of grief, devastation, and pain that went straight to my heart and shattered it.
She locked herself away from the world until the moment Dylan showed up and her healing started not immediately or even overnight but it was clear that the two of them came into each other’s lives at a time that they both needed it.
As always with Jay McLean’s writing you are immediately pulled into the world she created and she takes you on a journey with the characters as if you are right there with them. Their happiest moments make your heart flutter while their moments of pain bleed from the pages straight into your heart.
The More Than group will always be one of my top “book friends” groups. The bond they share, the dynamic and hilarious witty banter is as entertaining as it is heartfelt. I wish everyone had friends like these.
She has an ability to write a story that’s easy to place yourself in the characters are just a group of regular people, living their lives, and sometimes our lives are dealt hard blows of emotional devastation and the only way to find your way to happiness is to break first.
The first time I read this series was 5 ½ years ago, before I knew the importance of writing reviews. The More Than series to this day is still one of my ALL-TIME favorites. This isn’t just a series you read, this is a series that will take your breath away, break you then weave you back together again.

Heart Wrenchingly Beautiful
This was so not what I was expecting! I was completely knocked off balance! But I loved every bit of it! I really had a hard time with this book because of of how it made me feel. I found myself crying so horribly that I had to pause and pick back up later...like several times. This book touches on some serious issues like PTSD and suicide. I was not ready for this story. Dylan is so great! We have known him throughout the last few books as the silent and broody guy. That’s not the case at all! "Silent on the outside, roaring thoughts on the inside" I thought this perfectly described Dylan. I was defiantly yelling right along with Amanda, "Dylan Talks!" and Lucy,"That's so hot". I loved Dylan so much!! The whole gang is here and that makes me so happy to always get a little piece of everyones story throughout the book. Their friendship is so remarkable, so solid. Lots of Operation Mayhem!I’m not going to give too much away but Riley was so great! And she is just what we all needed! She of course was battling her own demons and that was so agonizing. Dylan and Riley find each other at just the right time in each others lives, they save each other. I had this horrible anxiety throughout the story waiting for the other shoe to drop and when it finally did I was so devastated. I found myself crying without realizing I was. Lots of feels! I don't like to read military books, my husband was in the Army. I just don't like the way they make me feel, all my senses are heightened. But I highly recommend this book. I love Jay McLean and will seriously read anything she writes. This was a Beautifully written story about life and how it can change in a split second. Makes you appreciate what you have.

2022 update:
I’ll discuss my re-read of the entire series after five years, and my thoughts on More Than Enough.
First of all, I truly thought for years I rated this book at 3 stars. I really struggled with it the first time. 4 stars? Wow.
I’m a fan of the fish-out-of-water, create-your-own-family process plotline of More Than This and that drew me in. I’m not exactly the target audience, and there are parts that always get on my nerves, but that’s the same with every book I read. (For the record, “I clean the guns when my sister’s boyfriend comes over, and even though my high school girlfriend lived with us and my friend lived in a cabin with his girlfriend in high school and all these girls belong to us, my sister’s not dating until she’s 30” toxic bullshit for starters.)
Still, I’m poised to read every book in this series, warts and all. There’s so much humor and so much family, and that’s what I come for. This one just had too many misses, and I set the bar low.
In my first pass of the series I liked everything well enough, loved Forever, and thought this was easily the weakest of the first batch. As Forever was my favorite, I jumped into the Preston series. I was cold on Lucas, warmer on Logan, and really liked Leo because his character calls the others out on their toxic bullshit and defends his family. I wish someone would have tried that here.
So here’s where things stand overall. My opinion of More Than This didn’t change much this time, and even though this is a series of extreme angst and I baked that in on arrival, His and Her drove me up the wall. The angst was off the charts as the characters made crazy life choices. Forever kept top marks, but even the angst there bled into my brain more than the first time.
And now Enough. I was afraid what I’d think. There’s insta-love, regretful characterization (here’s looking at you Holly) and Riley was the doormat to end all doormats. A lot of readers were hugely disappointed that Heidi was not the female lead. I couldn’t care less. There were narrative coincidences and inconsistencies that didn’t quite work, but didn’t tremendously bother me either if that was all we were talking about. Jake doesn’t recognize ‘Riley Hudson’ as the person who destroyed his dad’s office until he meets her face to face, given how much he later knows about Jeremy. I get Dylan was away serving while this all happened, but it was just odd that word didn’t spread (although it’s nothing compared to the secret kept in the second half of the book.) Dylan doesn’t remember Jeremy from school at all, until he suddenly remembers a deep heart-to-heart they had on his lawn. Everyone was totally fine with Amanda the student giving Dylan therapy. That sort of thing.
The unspeakable cruelty in the middle of the book was unnecessary. Dylan goes through so much pain and the worst happenstance to befall a character in a series that includes an entire family murdered in a home invasion, but there was absolutely no reason why it had to impact Riley in the way it did. Looking back at the entire series, Jake and Mikayla had obstacles, Logan and Amanda made terrible decisions driven by the plot to keep readers hooked, Cam was very, very stressed, and Dylan had an actual excuse for his behavior, but instead him saying “this awful thing happened and now I need to make crazy life choices to benefit the plot” he bottled up what happened and NO ONE LIVING IN HER HOUSE SAID ANYTHING to Riley until a literal memorial service. Dylan opted for “I will destroy her life so she’ll leave me on her own and I can stew alone.” The plot pivoted from cruel domestic abuse to “I’m abusive because I love her and I abuse her to drive her away.” I read that in 2022.
Here’s my bottom line. It’s a story about two people who watched someone they loved die in front of them and feel tremendous guilt. It’s not supposed to be an easy read. Riley and Dylan were barely functioning humans. Holly made life decisions for Riley like she was a preteen, Riley never once questioned her ability to do so, nor did any other character after the first 50 pages. While they were the right decisions, that’s not the point. I wanted Riley to make her own choices, not defer to her badly written mother. There were countless opportunities for her to pack up her house and leave, even if she used Jeremy as a crutch and said he would have wanted more for her. Anything.
Holly gave her alcoholic, underage daughter alcohol. Every day. While fearing she wouldn’t live through the day. She found her passed out in the bathtub, not realizing she almost drown earlier in the day, and she kept it up, and had the audacity to get on a soapbox in the back half of the book and lecture everyone about what she would allow and not allow her grown daughter to do. Dylan held Holly’s feet to the fire briefly until she said that she loved her daughter and wouldn’t let her be hurt, which was demonstrably not the case, and then Dylan was all “we shall never speak ill of you again.” Actions, not words, remember?! It was beyond insane and infuriated me. Spoilers for Logan, but there’s a character there who keeps a damaging secret and is cast out by the Prestons for her crime. Different people, different standards, but the narrative treatment of poor decision makers was night and day notable.
There was no growth from Riley once she pulled herself up by her bootstraps. She hung in there with Dylan when he literally terrorized her, wouldn’t back down until her mom made her, and when he finally got back to a good place and hopped back on the tracks in one chapter, it was business as usual for the rest of the book. Narratively, it didn’t work at all.
This wasn’t the messy story of characters who made bad life decisions but got to the right place in the end. This was the story of characters who made bad life decisions, got lucky in the end, and didn’t put in the effort to rebuilding. I’ll keep reading any Preston book that comes out, and will be there for the revival of More Than. I won’t do a full re-read again. I’ll be sticking with This and Forever, but likely won’t return to His/Her/Enough, but credit to Amanda’s character for acknowledging her self-worth.
Three star books are flawed. Two star books leave me angry. I’m far more on that side of the pond.
Original——————-
Coming off More Than Forever earlier this year, with my favorite characters of the series, I struggled with Enough.
I love the secondary characters of this series and it was great to return to the universe for a few days. Jay McLean always has to throw an angsty curveball at you, and I've found the understated ones (Forever) work for me far more than the over the top ones (This/Him/Her), but this was the first one that went for actual cruelty.
Dylan was put into an awful situation, but his response was horrific and what was less acceptable was how little Riley stuck up for herself. The whole "I belong to you...here's his address" characterization triggered more than one eye-roll, and I get what the author was going for in how she handled his behavior, but beyond the romanticized plot line of a novel the message there was "be a doormat and hope for the best." This carried over to her allowing her mother to drag her around like she's a teenager without rights without any discussion. Her character needed a bit more spine.
And while I'm getting things off my chest, Holly's behavior at the start of the novel was unjustifiable and it's difficult to reconcile her with the character we get later in the story, who I enjoyed very much.
The ending rebounded sharply, and I truly enjoyed the entire cast of characters in this sendoff. That second to last reading session was as rough as they came, and at one point this was easing towards a 2-star rating or lower. The counter-revelation, the cops, and the quacking helped mightily.

I loved this story. I already loved the characters from the previous books so I was 100% emotionally attached. The book had all the emotional ups and downs with the funny humour fitted in to make it light-hearted.

Man, More Than Enough was a great read. I read the prior books in the series a while ago now and I don't know why I didn't read this one at the time. I think I didn't realize I hadn't until I was looking up books to get ready for Lucas' release. I looked at it and was just like wait...I didn't read Dylan's story yet?!? I need to get on that. This whole series just is wonderful, and even though Cameron is still my favorite, I loved Dylan as well. I wish I would have had a group of friends like this when I was in high school/college. They are all so great!
I remember Dylan and Heidi from the prior books, but not what happened with them. I don't think we found out, just that they weren't together anymore. They seemed to have had it all, to be for real, but it didn't work out. So I was really excited to see who would grab his attention next. Would it still be Heidi? Or do we get a new girl?
Dylan is in the military. He has just come back from fighting overseas and things are weird for him. His can't really sleep or anything, he can't get comfortable while his brothers are still over there fighting. While the images he has seen stay with him. I honestly can't imagine how these brave people come back and have a "normal" life after some of the things they have to go through. It is not for me, but man they have to be strong to do that. So Dylan is trying to figure things out. He is injured, but hopes to get back to 100% so he can go back. He has friends who are still fighting, people he trusts and wants to help. He was wonderful.
When the neighbor starts blaring music in the morning just when he is about to fall asleep he is not happy. Not happy at all, so he goes over to take care of it. Only he finds a girl who is so broken. Somehow when he is in her room things are a bit better. He can let his guard down and rest. Yes, she is broken. Yes, she is involved in some destructive behavior, but she is not handling things that happened in her past very well. I really enjoyed reading her story. She was such a unique character. Yes, I have read broken people stories before (and I love them), but the way she dealt with things? Amazing even though it was not so good at times. I loved all of her notes and stuff. How she was trying to manage wading through these new waters. Trying to figure out how to move on yet still hold onto the past as well. And Dylan was amazing through it all. He helped her so much and was never jealous of her past. He never made her choose between him and prior people she loved. Oh, I loved him.
Of course things get a bit tricky when some bad things happen. Stuff that messes up everything. Stuff that almost breaks them. Luckily Dylan's lady is strong enough for the two of them. Luckily she wants to try and save him just like he saved her. The two of them together? So wonderful to read.
