More Than This by Jay McLean
5.0
I so much more than a lot loved this book!
From the very first pages (hello reworked
Justin Beiber song) through that one awful night, straight until the very last page (hello surprising twist) I was literally glued to my Kindle. I took it to the bathroom with me!!
How a book can have so many steamy sex scenes and still manage to frustrate me with major sexual tension I can't even explain.
Mikayla is one of the strongest female characters I've read in a long time. How she gets through life on a daily basis after losing everything she had in one single night is incredible. I guess it helps when you have someone like Jake & his family there to help pick up the pieces from day one.
Ahhh Jake, way too young to be my BBF but I guess since he's not real it makes it ok. Seriously I can't think of a single thing he did wrong through this whole story. He was never too pushy or too weak. He fought for what he wanted, Kayla, but gave her the space he somehow knew she needed. Did I mention that he's a hot baseball player with a full ride to college? Yeah he's kind of a BIG DEAL.
Then there is the secondary characters, Jakes mom and dad, Mandy & Nathan and his sister Julie. I love how easily they welcome Kayla into their family. Then of course there is Jake's friends who quickly become Kayla's as well. I lurve that Lucy & her are Book Best Friends. Then there is Logan. He was so great with Kayla and I knew, just knew that he would be the perfect character for another book. I was NOT expecting the teaser we got at the end of the book and frankly I'm skeptical that it is really about who it sounds like it is. I can't wait to find out though!!
