A Pessimist's Guide to Love by Jennifer Hartmann
5.0
Jennifer really knows how to make you feel it all, and book 2 definitely delivered. It was just as good as book 1 was, but we finally get answers, and closure that we so desperately needed. The ending of book one put me through the wringer, and luckily book 2 just takes place right after the cliff hanger, so you don’t have to wait long to find out what happens.
This story, was more about growth and learning to let go, and move on. It’s also about forgiveness, forgiveness not only from the people around you, but forgiveness for yourself. Cal has a lot to work through in this story, and Jennifer shined a light on all of it. There were definitely times where I wanted to shake him… but he wouldn’t be Cal if those moments weren’t there. Book two shows even more how Lucy is the perfect partner for him, that her optimism and spirit was the only one who could break through those barriers and reach Cal.
There was a lot of growth and obstacles to overcome, but there was also so much love to be shown. This story put you back together, from all the angst and emotional heartbreak that book 1 had you feeling. There were some swoony moments, tender moments, and even magical moments… that will have your heart smiling. This was the perfect ending for Cal and Lucy, and I loved the full circle ending Jennifer created in the epilogue.
