MICHELLE'S REVIEW
Lovers. I am not even sure how to write this review. I don't know if I can come up the words to accurately describe how I feel about this book- about this series really.
I am a fan of Jessica Sorensen. If you've followed our blog anytime in the last year- you would know that because I have read and reviewed almost everything she has written. And everything has blown me away. Jessica does not skimp on emotion. She forces you to feel EVERYTHING on every page. I mean everything. You are going to be sad, happy, depressed, enraged. You'll feel pity for characters, sympathy for them and when something good happens- you'll cheer them on. In a nutshell- this will be you:
The thing about Jessica's writing is the way in which things are emotional. Her characters suffer SO MUCH. The Certainty of Violet and Luke is book 3 in their story. In the first book you meet the two on a deeper level after having met them on the surface in Callie and Kayden's story. What you see are two people who have had shit lives handed to them and who are basically emotionally stunted as a result and they find some camaraderie in one another. In the second book- we see Luke falling apart and Violet saving him until the end of the book when all of the shit just hits the fan.
And that brings us to book 3. This book. Jesus Christ Almighty. This book. It's Luke's turn to be there for Violet. Lovers- LUKE IS EVERYTHING. I have swooned over a lot of book boyfriends in my life. I am here to tell you that Luke just destroyed me for men. The love that pours out of this man. I can't. Cannot. Can't.
I might legit be in love with him. Like - I don't even want to start this stupid match.com account anymore cause I know Luke isn't on there and nothing in life matters without him.
Violet has hit rock bottom and she wants to get out but she has to really get smacked in the face with the lowest low and starts to crawl her way back out of that darkness. And the light she's crawling to- it's Luke. And it's beautiful.
I think this might be one of the best endings to a book series for me. It's not special in what happens. We've seen the ending before. But because this is a happy ending for Violet and Luke- it is the best happy ending. Because if you have been on this journey with them- no one deserves it more. The road to get to a happy ending is so dark and painful and it just destroys me to think that this is a reality for people but it is. And that's why this ending means everything.
I really can't say how much I want you to read this book- this whole series. I mean everyone- Callie, Kayden, Grayson, Sean- all of them. It's like this family of misfits that I am obsessed with and I want everyone to be obsessed with me.
I think as I settle with this review and the end of this book that I finished on the train, this morning, I'm realizing that it is my favorite book from Jessica Sorensen. I am in love with it. Every single word. Put this on your TBR. Buy it. And come back and tell me if you agree because I think you will.
