This Life and All the Rest by Brit Benson
5.0
All the ASTRAEA stars!
This was such a heart wrenching and also satisfying conclusion to Lennon and Macon’s taboo, angsty story.
I love these characters so much, they’re deep and so well developed.
A major event brings Lennon back home after years of living in Europe and avoiding Macon and family to some extent as well.
The writing is beautiful, the story is full of big emotions.
Both characters are dealing with past and present pain, it’s very emotional, my feelings were all over the place as I read. I felt so strongly for the characters, I felt connected to their feelings.
It’s a story that kept me fully invested as unknown truths from their past slowly get revealed that made me angry and sad for them. They also give insight into what and why things went wrong.
The miscommunications and the non communication in some instances caused so much hurt for both characters.
Their relationship is tangled, tortured and also so very beautiful.
Their chemistry and connection is as strong as ever, but there are emotional obstacles keeping Lennon from opening up to the possibility of another chance with Macon.
Macon is even dreamier in this book. He is so caring and patient with Lennon. He showed a lot of love and respect for her boundaries and issues. He’s matured and changed in very positive ways.
I love the growth and changes in both characters. I think their time apart is so sad but necessary for them personally. I love the unexpected paths they both took.
This story gave me the butterflies and excitement as the first book did. I love this couple’s interactions and their smoking hot moments together. Their love and relationship feels star crossed and fated. It’s a very strong, once in a lifetime connection. Their longing for each other is so palpable.
There’s a lot of heart aching and heart warming story in this book and I enjoyed every part of it. Even when I got teary eyed and even when I raged.
The secondary characters play big roles in this book, both good and bad. They’re all richly developed characters.
I love Lennon and Macon’s epic journey so much. It’s so much more than a taboo and second chance romance, it’s the kind of story and characters that made me feel everything with them.
A few scenes when Lennon finally understands some meaning to Macon’s words, actions, etc… were so poignant and beautifully emotional. Astraea (wait for it) especially really hit me hard.
My heart was torn and then put back together. In LOVE!
