I. I just wish it wasn’t over. I did some weird book crying at work(because feelings). Just the build up in this book is so so so good because you know what is coming. I’ve already recommended this book and the whole series to so many friends.
Young BB has grown up quite a bit by this point but she is still dealing with crazy ass Knight while she is figuring out how to settle into her new life. And that’s when we enter that motherfucker Ken. In a sexy black tie. We finally get to see what makes Ken the way he is (ok, kinda). Just the way they are together it’s so good. When BB finally throws down the ultimatum Ken does just the best thing ever and shows so much love and it is so great and sweet and swoony. The epilogue just made me cry everywhere like a dum dum. Just, you have to read it.

I really loved this series. It made me laugh, roll my eyes, and cry, which isn’t an easy thing to accomplish. I feel a tiny bit sad that I’m done, that there isn’t anything left, but that’s because happiness is boring, right? Nobody really wants to read about fights over laundry. Meaning... BB has finally grown up.
In my experience, boys were opportunistic assholes. Even the sweet ones. Give them an inch, and they’d take your hymen.
Suit is Ken’s book. We already know he’s her forever; really, we’ve known since the very beginning. So, this is our payoff after three books where our hero ends up being a jackass. And you know what? It was all worth it. Because honestly- and I sound like such a mom here- but she wouldn’t have appreciated what was in front of her if she didn’t have those bad relationships in her history. I know how that is; if you look at my serious relationships, my husband is not at all my type. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why he’s my husband, while the others are relegated to the pages of my angsty teenage journals. Shitty boyfriends suck, but they can teach us so much (if we choose to listen). Remember that SATC when the psychologist asks Carrie what her string of men all have in common, and the answer ends up being her? I felt personally attacked by that episode, and I’m guessing BB would have too (had the show aired earlier).
It didn’t make any sense. He wasn’t my type. He’d never once come on to me. And he was about as emotionally available as a cucumber. But there was an intoxicating current of energy surrounding him that I couldn’t get enough of. I knew that electric charge was meant to keep people out, but I was a defiant little shit.
Suit is the perfect ending, really. Ken isn’t perfect. Nobody is, least of all Brooke. (We’ve been with her since she was 15; nobody knows that better than the reader). But the final book portrays how far Brooke has come. She’s still crazy, but she has learned a lot of tough lessons and been through more tragedy and heartache than any girl her age should. All I wanted was for her to fix her broken picker, so when it happened, I felt like a proud mother. Of course, though, the man couldn’t be ordinary, because Brooke fucking Bradley doesn’t roll like that. Ken is a lot of things: intelligent, honest, practical, and reliable. He also isn’t a lot of things, as in emotional, effusive, jealous, or affectionate. Basically, Ken is the antithesis of any boyfriend Brooke has ever had (again, this is a good thing). But who better for him to end up with than a future school psychologist?!
Nanny-nanny boo-boo. You can’t get me, his heart taunted from inside its impenetrable fortress, thumbing its nose at me from behind a pane of bulletproof glass. Challenge accepted, motherfucker, mine spat back, giving his the middle finger.
I’m gonna be honest: Brooke drove me a little crazy in this book, especially in the beginning. She always knew exactly who Ken was, yet she kept wanting him to change. On the other hand, he never asked her to stop being so selfish or stubborn. I sometimes felt like he loved her for who she was, and she loved him in spite of who he was. But, as usual, our girl learned, even if it was a little late. As it happens in life, we lost some people along the way, and yes, it hurt. I knew it was going to happen, it’s just... I wanted things to be different for Ronald McKnight. But, it was always too late for him, even at the beginning, and I always knew that. I’ve learned that lesson, too. I shed a tear for him, and everyone like him, that never had a chance.
(Side note: trigger warnings for eating disorders, some light S&M, drug use, PTSD, etc.)
“Tell me, Punk. Please. I need to know—” Knight took a deep breath, followed by a sharp, pained one. “I need to know I did something right.”
Life was surprisingly good, and the only thing that had changed was my attitude.
And isn’t that what you want in a partner? Somebody who laughs when you burn dinner and orders take-out? Somebody who looks at a wrong turn on the interstate as an opportunity to listen to your favorite album a little longer? Somebody who loves you at your worst, knowing you’re on your way to becoming your best?

I have a copy of 44 Chapters About 4 Men sitting in my TBR pile, sadly I haven't had a chance to read it yet. However, I have now read Suit, which is a longer series project of the aforementioned book, and I can tell you that I wasn't able to put it down. It was filled with comedy, heartfelt emotion, and a gripping tale.
BB Easton gave each of her teenage/young adult boyfriends a book, stemming from the bestselling, award-winning memoir. Suit is the final book in that series. It is also the final boyfriend that BB has in her life. Ken Easton is like no other boyfriend BB has had before. BB has always been drawn to the badboy, the wrong boy, the boy who has no plans of settling down, having a future or even being nice to BB.
Ken Easton is the opposite of all of those boys in most of those areas, except he doesn't believe in marriage, he doesn't believe in having children, he doesn't believe in forever. At least he's upfront about what he does and doesn't believe in unlike BB's former boyfriends, so that's a positive if there is one. It also makes BB dig her heels in and want to change Ken's views. He seems to like her and wants to spend time with her, so perhaps he just needs his views to be swayed? If only she could read his emotions, if he had emotions.
The more Ken locked away his emotions, or didn't seem to own emotions, the more BB was determined to unravel the mystery of Ken. BB had finally found the one thing she loved more than bad boys...a good looking challenge dressed in a tie.
BB goes through the gamut trying to solve the puzzle that is Ken Easton. He is generous, but cheap. He is nice, but withdrawn. He is a gentleman, but emotionally detached. Ken is an enigma that makes BB crazy. Why won't he hold her when she's sad? Why won't he buy her useless crap? What is his infatuation with Hugh Grant movies? Why can't she let Ken go and just move on to her usual bad boy?
Once you read this book, Suit, or if you've read the rom-com/memoir, 44 Chapters About 4 Men, you will come to know how infuriatingly stubborn and standoffish Ken, can be. BB pulled some serious strings, did some impressive groveling and guilt tripping, and everyone now gets a little piece of Ken. His chin, at least!
This piece of Ken and knowing the guilt trip that BB put him through will make a million times more sense once you read Suit and I love it a million times more after reading the book. Thank you BB and Ken for sharing your beautiful story. I loved it!!
*SUIT is that last book in the 44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN series, but it can be read as a complete standalone.

5++++ stars!!!
When the 44 Chapters novels were announced, Suit was the book I was most looking forward to reading. I loved BB and Ken's relationship while reading 44 Chapters About 4 Men. Finally getting the story behind their love was everything I could have ever asked for. I am genuinely, wholeheartedly in love with this book. I laughed. I cried. I swooned. I felt everything!! Oh my goodness!! This book is a new favorite. One I can see myself rereading time and time again. This was honestly one of the best reads I have ever had the pleasure of reading.
Suit is my favorite book of the 44 Chapters novels. I could not get enough of BB's typical brand of humor, sass, and overall badassery. There is an ease and fluidity to her words. She makes it feel like you are right there watching "your friend" go through this epic journey towards a happily ever after; experiencing heartbreak, joy, frustration, vulnerability, hope and love. Gah! I just love everything about this book!
Suit gave me this overwhelming feeling of pride. For BB and the incredible woman she is. For Ken overcoming some the challenges he was dealt. And for a relationship that from the outside looking in doesn't entirely make sense but in reality is a beautiful, functional and perfect balance. I don't think I could ever say it enough but this book is truly amazing.
The 44 Chapters Novels will go down as one of my ALL-TIME favorite series. I'm a mess now that it's over. I was always #TeamKen and #TeamBB. After reading Suit, my fandom has only increased. Go get this book immediately!! It's a definite MUST READ!!

Ahhh! Suit is FINALLY here and we get devour the story of Ken the Husbot! Let's just take a moment to prepare for this story by appreciating the cover. I think this is my favorite cover of the entire series. Plus, if you get the paperback, real life Ken is on the back cover!
Not only is the cover fantastic, but so is every word on every page. BB's writing is humorous and honest and just fun to read. Even the moments of heartbreak have the BB attitude that I love. You don't have to read 44 Chapters or any of the other books in this series first, but I think 44 Chapters would give you an awesome peak into the backstory of BB's relationships that really helps round out Suit.
I voluntarily received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I received an ARC in return for an honest review.
Finishing Suit was bittersweet. I absolutely loved it but am so sad there are no more men. I wish the first book could have been 44 chapters about 10 men because then we would have more books. But I don’t think BB could have survived that.
Suit had a different vibe than the other books and I’m glad it did. It showed how BB matured and realized what was important and learned to appreciate different things in life. Her books always reminded me of me. I was a wild child at a young age and I too happily settled down with a husbot.
I recommend for everyone to read this book. It can be a read as a standalone but 44 Chapters, Skin, Speed and Star are so awesome why wouldn’t you read them all.
I’m just going to leave this quote here because I liked it.
“Then, my recommendation would be for Mr. Easton to select a life partner who is free-spirited and highly verbal, someone right-brained to help balance him out. Like a poet or a painter or perhaps”—he offered me a small, sympathetic smile—“a psychology student with purple hair.”

This was a fun quick read. I loved her 44 Chapters book and so when she mentioned she was going to do indiviual novels I was excited. I am just now getting to them and of course I had to go out of order and go directly to her end game in Suit.
This book is funny and sexy and at times creepy. It just kept my attention the whole way through. I love Ken so much! I actually love their relationship. It's dysfunction in a functional way. The previous relationships seem like they were VERY INTENSE and so this one just seemed abnormally normal in the best way possible. I'm happy she has found her lobster.
** Trigger warning for people who suffer from eating disorders**
I will say the only thing that I was slightly bothered by is her eating disorder. It isn't the focus of the novel, but I wanted to shake her and be like you don't have to be this way! Her doing homework of how to further along her disorder was heartbreaking and too real. Since I have never suffered from one I can't understand that mind set but to see a glimpse of it just makes me feel for people who to deal with this on a daily basis.

So I had a lot of emotions while reading this series, and I will admit some things did trigger me. Yet, it was also one of the most relatable heart shattering books ever. I felt BB’s helplessness on a deep level and I will admit I cried like a baby. Overall I really really enjoyed this series. Love!

I wrote one book about my own life and it was a whirlwind 2 months full of breakdowns and tears. How this woman spent years, YEARS, writing about her own life, I will never know. This is an honest and incredible author. I am proud to know her and sad the ride is over. There is no voice like internal BB and I am so glad I picked up 44 chapters when it came out.
Ken has always been my favorite and I love the way he loves BB. Actions. That's what matters.
So what team am I on now that all of this is over? #🅣🅔🅐🅜🅑🅑, of course.
