I really enjoyed The Love of My Next Life but I absolutely LOVED This Life and all the Rest. This duet was the first books I'd read by Britt Benson and she blew me away. I was instantly intrigued by the characters, the storyline and the plot. The characters are so different but fit together perfectly.
I couldn't get enough of Macon. He's hands down the bad boy that you can't help but fall for even though you know he won't catch you. He's a pessimistic, broody, misunderstood boy who wants to be more than what he is but can't seem to make it happen. I also loved that he was artistic because why not. It only makes you want to know him. I also loved Lennon and the fact that she was able to finally do what she wanted and live for herself instead of other people. She had to go through some pretty horrible things to become who she wanted to be and I only respected her more for. Lennon and Macon are like moths to each others flame, unable to do anything but head straight for it even though they know they're going to get burnt.
Britt Benson is a fantastic author who wrote this amazing taboo romance duet that's complicated, beautiful, selfish, raw and in its own way perfection. This duet was quite the emotional rollercoaster but I wouldn't want it any other. A good book in my opinion is one that has you in your feelings and TLAATR is better than good!! If you haven't read Lennon and Macon's story, then please check out The Love of My Next Life and This Life and all the Rest!
