Livie, hun. You quite disappointed me.
When I found out that there was going to be a seperate book for Live, I knew I had to get my hands on this one. I loved Kacey's personality, and was excited to see how Livie would venture off on her own. She was a very independent and smart person, but boy oh boy did she make a ton of mistakes here. Don't get me wrong, that's VERY normal. While [b:Ten Tiny Breaths|15990969|Ten Tiny Breaths (Ten Tiny Breaths, #1)|K.A. Tucker|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1368808763l/15990969._SY75_.jpg|21747190] was a compelling and gripping story, [b:One Tiny Lie|17302495|One Tiny Lie (Ten Tiny Breaths, #2)|K.A.

Here's a list of things I hated.
1. Cheating, obviously. She knew she was attracted more to Ashton, but still pushed her romance with Connor.
2. Connor, love, as sweet as you are I'm pretty sure there was no LABEL between you and Livie, and I'm pretty sure you didn't ASK. You straight up kissed her and assumed she was yours.
Yea, Ashton was a bastard and a man-whore but needless to say, he was HOT. And definitely my guilty pleasure.
The one thing that saved this book for me though was the ending. It's a different story with the whole family together, and I missed the gang so much. Reading them goofing around together melted my heart and made me smile.
Epilogue, you saved this book for me.

This one is not as good as the first 2 books which were about her sister. I am not going to finish this series.

I really enjoyed this novel overall especially because of my adoration for the character Livie. I found myself relating to her character particularly at the beginning of the book. I was not a fan of how certain things unfolded because they seemed to go against her character. I also really enjoyed learning about Ashton, the topic of Alzheimers was discussed very appropriately and I enjoyed seeing how his story played out. He had many sweet moments between him and Livie. The ending felt rushed and similar to Ten Tiny Breaths felt a bit unrealistic and convenient at certain points. Dr. Stayner was a character I appreciated a lot in the first novel but felt extremely disconnected to in this novel. Many of his lines were very cringey and despite him being depicted as unconventional this took it to the next level. Despite this, I still adored the novel. The secondary characters in this book really do shine and it was nice to also connect with characters from the previous book that I enjoyed.

4⭐️. I can’t express how much I love KA Tucker books! I thought I loved the first book, didn’t know I would love this one even more. I shouldn’t have loved it as much as I did because it has SO many problematic elements that I am turning a blind eye to because I truly enjoyed this book. Without any spoilers, OK mild spoiler. I didn’t love the tidy ending. It didn’t feel true to the book and for an 18 year old… the fairy godfather feeling doesn’t really work for me. I need a Stayner in my life to fix all my problems. But there’s something about these emo romances that really strings me along in the best way. I may need therapy.

I have a lot of thoughts and opinions. But I read this book over a week ago and was so dissatisfied it's taken me...9 days to write my review. So, let's get into it.
*spoilers ahead* stop reading now if you don't want to be spoiled!
The Plot: The plot was fine. Nothing really to rave about in my opinion. Like Livie can fix Ashton, yay! And despite their troubled pasts they can move forward and love each other. OH MY GOSH. The fact Ashton was like you're my "forever girl" after one night of interractions?? Huh?? Absolutely not. If someone said that, they give creeper vibes and you should run. FAR. Also. I saw someone point this out in another review and I thought it worth bringing it up. When Livie told the twins with leukemia that they shouldn't talk about death and that's off-limits - that's teaches poor coping behaviors. They should feel comfortable talking about that. I'm not a specialist in this area at all, but avoidance is not normally the way to go.
The Book Art/Plot: 1/10. I didn't like this one as much. The girl does not look like an 18-year-old?? Giving Christian autumn vibes.
My Critiques: Everything. The plot. The characters. The cover art. Can't say I was a fan.
Overall, I do not plan on reading any other books similar to this. It was painful to read and I almost DNFed it.

The Characters: *sigh* The characters... Livie was kind of annoying. Like I get the entire character arc of losing her parents and then wanting to live out what would make them proud. But, for being a freshman in college, she felt weirdly mature. Maybe she had to grow up a bit quicker with the loss of her parents, but her character didn't seem to make sense. Now, Ashton. I cannot stand. He CONSTANTLY cheated on his girlfriend and it was romanticized. Like, once a cheater, always a cheater. And Livie was mad about it at first, but somehow got past it easily? Oh, OKAY. The frat brothers were annoying, I actually didn't mind Reagan. Livie's sister also wasn't awful. The therapist was sooo weird. I feel like he overstepped his boundaries when he showed up at Princeton? Um, hello? Overall, I liked Reagan the best.The Plot: The plot was fine. Nothing really to rave about in my opinion.

3,5 stars!
Pretty much your typical good-girl-meets-bad-boy book. Nothing new here.
It was still enjoyable, though the very high rating is kind of surprising for me as this was rather average. I was much more hooked by Ten Tiny Breaths or Burying Water and expected a bit more from Tucker here.
