Ooooh Finn; you made me swoon, laugh, giggle, and day-dream all at ones. I love his character and in Weak Without Him we got to know him a bit more –not only through Jenn’s pov but also through his. YES, WWH is written in dual pov and I freaking loved it. But also his brother Luke gave some sweet details about Finn away ;) He’s a man with many faces, which I love every single one of them.Jenn and Finn’s growing relationship was joy to read; I loved their back and forth; their snarky remarks; challenging each other. Both are stubborn and strong willed and it was a give and take between them. They were yelling at each other, ignoring the other one, and teasing the crap out of each other. Tension – pure tension. But when they cooled off the reunion was sugar sweet ;)Lyra put some twists and turns in it as well as some ‘slap-you-in-the-face’ surprises – I mean, dang I didn’t see that coming or expected it. So yeah I was surprised. But one surprise made me smile so hard my face hurt *swoon*"You'll be the and of me, Miss Downs. You will be the [effing] end of me." "You were the beginning of me, Mr. Felton." aaaawww!!She wrote with Weak Without Him a great sequel. I’m an even bigger fan of Finn than before. Certain parts of the book needed more conversations, less rushing (especially the last 20%), more feelings. Until around 70% the book was a 4.5 read for me but then it was a bit too fast – I wished for more development by adding more background infos, more dialogues, more ‘why the hell did you do that’ toward the end.I know she made changes so I’m positive that it’s now a 4.5 if not a 5 star read for me – so don’t worry about it ;)Oh btw, I loved and ruled for Finn’s brother Luke in book 1 –so no, I haven’t forgotten him and no Lyra didn’t just cut him out - but after the stunt he pulled in this book, no mister, not anymore. I saw a side of Luke that made me shudder and even though I somewhat understand why he did certain things (all for the show), for me it was too real and I think we got a glimpse of his real persona –dude, you’re NOT TO BE TRUSTED! No matter how hot you’re nope, nope.Oh one more thing, don’t think Finn and Jenn got rid of miss bitchy Jesse, she has some tricks up her sleeve that make you want to choke and burry her alive –just you wait and see *grin*I’m looking forward to read more of Lyra’s books, especially in her Weakness series and recommend her series – so keep on writing missy :)
