Aflame by Penelope Douglas
5.0
Bully.
Until You.
Rival.
Falling Away.
Aflame.
Started with Bully, instantly fell in love with the characters. Tate was a sweetheart from the start, while Jared was an asshole. But it didn't stop me from loving him. Told from Tate's perspective, Bully is a story about two seventeen year olds, who used to be friends since the age of ten. But at fourteen, after coming home from his father's, Jared decides to be enemies with Tate, instead.
Until You is Bully from Jared's POV. I was skipping to Rival because I "thought" it would be useless to read Until You as I've already read Bully. Thank Goodness I didn't do that mistake. Until You is so much more than just a guy's POV. And it's definitely better than Bully. Jared's past, the reason behind his asshole behavior is beautifully described here. It's a trip inside Jared's head.
Madoc is my favorite character in Fall Away series. Lively, friendly, humorous Madoc is easy to fall in love with. And Fallon, a tomboy, is a reflection of prettiness. Madoc is Jared's best friend and used to help Jared bully Tate.
Fallon is his step sister, who recently came back to Shelburne Falls. From here, in Rival, Madoc and Fallon's journey begins.
Falling Away is Jaxon's and K.C. (Juliet) story. Jax is Jared's half brother, and Juliet is Tate's best friend. Jax is a year younger than the rest of the squad including Juliet, but it doesn't stop them from falling in love with each other. A beautiful story about Jax's struggles as a little kid, and a dark secret, which he keeps within him. Juliet's struggles keeping her identity and remembering herself.
Tate and Jared's steady relationship comes crashing down in Aflame when Jared realizes he isn't growing up in his little town, and he needs to leave this place to grow up, to seek wider dimensions. He comes back after two years, and now everybody is twenty-two, and Jax is twenty-one. Jared and Tate come back together in this one, and realize they're meant to be.
THE EPILOGUE.
Holy freaking cow!! That epilogue was so good, I would've hugged the author. Beautifully written series, a story of six people, who're both family and friends, tell us their journey of life. And in this epilogue, my reading brain is fully satisfied.
I'd love that to happen what the author said at the end. "Left a finger at the end of the book."
Until You.
