The Redo
by Max Monroe
emotional
funny
hopeful
inspiring
relaxing
fast-paced
Note: This review is for an ARC and is my unbiased opinion.
Put a finger down if you're a Max Monroe reader who has been waiting for Remy Winslow to get his own book since you read his younger sister Winnie's book Scoring the Billionaire.
*puts a finger down* and *looks around*
You too? Awesome! Well, you're going to LOVE The Redo then. Remy is everything you hoped he would be, and he finally gets his chance at forever with someone super special. Max Monroe saved Lexi's (and my) favorite Winslow brother for last.
What was so great about Remy? He's got confidence, drive, has a great relationship with his family, dotes on his niece, and wants to take care of those he loves when he can. His only little flaw is that he doesn't do relationships. (We all know why!) That's about to change when he reconnects with his high school sweetheart Maria.
Maria wasn't planning on being a mother. She's a workaholic whose business and sister has been everything she's needed in her life. Life has thrown her some serious punches and now she's having to navigate them. Luckily for her, she reconnects with Remy.
Remy and Maria reconnecting at the current times in their lives was really cool. I loved that initial seeing each other again for the first time moment and how everything thing progressed from there. There was a lot to work through from Maria's pregnancy and motherhood to Remy's avoidance of relationships. Through it all my favorite thing was how Remy and Maria took care of each other and eventually Izzy. Those Izzy moments were especially special to me and reminded me a bit of seeing my husband become a father. *Sigh*
I did have some other favorite things about this book. You know it's the Winslow family. I don't think I'll ever get enough of them. There was so much text message goodness between the brothers. Winnie and mama Wendy brought the love and support. Remy and Lexi had some touching and funny moments in their uncle/niece relationship. Even Thatcher Kelly (we'll call him family at this point) showed up to bring the laughs. Having all these people involved made Remy and Maria's romance even more fun than it already was.
OH! I almost forgot the fortune teller! I LOVED what Max Monroe did with her character in this book. Things truly came full circle with her involved.
I do have one little "not my thing" thing to mention. I am not a big fan of flashbacks. There are several flashbacks throughout this book that take the reader through some special/important moments in Remy and Maria's high school relationship. While they helped give background to Remy and Maria's previous, adorable relationship I didn't like being sucked out of the current time frame. That's just a "me thing", though. I will probably always say that about flashback I encounter while reading.
So, yeah. I loved this final Winslow Brothers book. I'm so happy that Remy finally got the story he deserved. I am sad to see the series end, but I know Max Monroe will grace us with something just as good in the future. I'm also pretty sure this won't be the last we'll see of these characters anyways. ;) They seem to pop up when we least expect it.
