I'm gonna be honest...

Tristan & Danika's story...

well... khm... was my favorite, perfect kind of annoying torment ride.

I'd totally got angry, irritated with even the first book, but with book 2 for sure.
People are normally quite low on embrace/accept emotional strugglings, with-or-without you, unhealthy clinning kind of love stories. That's me normally. I have so much eye-rolling and a hair grabbing moments reading stories like this, that I don't know how I haven't turn into some kind of reading I'm gonna be honest...

I have so much eye-rolling and a hair grabbing moments reading stories like this, that I don't know how I haven't turn into some kind of reading freak by now.
But not with these two. I'm still listing the reasons why, but I guess mainly, because it's so well written and characters are so much layered, that it compensates all my reservations with "emotionally dragging" stories.
In Rock Bottom I experienced the total depth (any normal person did, I guess) with no chance of turning back.
Than comes Lovely Trigger to twist is some more, saying, it ain't that easy. As 6 years pass for Tristan & Danika, both are coping, one way or another, with moving on, searching a clean slate.
While in book 2, Tristan was the one reaching rock bottom and dragging Danika with him, well... now... tables turning. Tristan fights back to healthy surface, but Danika is still wandering around on that rock bottom. Because she can't let go, forgiving but not forgetting.
These two gets back together in a some kind of awkward, fuck-buddies, no strings attached way (rather Danika thinks this way).
Yep, they should had to have their insecurities, anger issues, and jealousy stuff, to finally, well: letting the past go.

The ending part I didn't like that much. It was too sharp of change based on the whole mood of the book. Breakdown drama, finally finishing... and with a snap (and some crying on friends' shoulders)... happy reconciliation all romantic. Seriously?... And this Brangelina thing going on the last couple of pages. Yeah, well, that was sweet, but still left me with not really understing the overcompensation there.

Overall: I still loved this series, not matter it's flaws, because, yeah, you have to read stories about unhealthy relationships and hitting rock bottoms, if they're written like this. ...more

Does not disappoint! I waited until the entire series was released, because I just can't wait for "a next book" from Ms. Lilley <3 She is a favorite of mine. Made me want to go back and re-read the "Up In The Air" series as I am sure, I will be re-reading this series~ ...more
