Wow...just Wow... That is a totally inadequate response to this book but it totally sums up all things.  It was beautiful, sweet, heartbreaking, honest and raw.  It seems like not that long ago that I found myself reading More than This. I feel in love with the characters in that book, but more than that, I think I feel in love with the writing.  The truth and honesty behind the words and the way that Jay was able to make us feel those emotions was something special.  I felt like I was in those moments with them, I felt like those were my friends hurting, loving and laughing.  I think that is pretty genius and amazing when a writer can make you feel that.  I have continued to fall more in love with this group of friends with each book, each love story and every heart break.I first adored drunk Lucy; she was this funny book nerd that was a great friend to her girls, cool with Logan and madly in love with Cameron.  In this book, man in this book, you just can't help but totally adore her.  She is broken, she is strong, sweet, innocent, a little dirty, funny, loving, loyal, and kind....she is just all these things and more.  She is not perfect, but she loves fiercely, she cares wholly and she gives more than you think is possible.  Cameron, if you thought Jake and Logan were swoon worthy (which don't get me wrong, they totally are) then you need to meet and fall totally in love with Cameron!  He is this sweet, kind caring boy that comes out of nowhere and changes a girl’s life without ever trying to. He gives his entire heart; he claims his girl and never looks back.  He loves totally and without abandon, he is strong, but he is also insecure, he is broken in his own way, he is also vulnerable and I love how Jay expresses this.  She is not afraid to show that time and time again through the book.  It does not make him weak, it makes him beautiful, it makes him human, and it makes him vulnerable, which he is especially to and for his forever girl.I don't know how Jay knows how to tap into all the emotions that she does and was able to fit into this book, she had me laughing out loud, walking us through a first love and all the innocence that comes along with that, taking us through grief and heartbreak, healing and loving, forgiveness and every other emotion that you could possibly think of.  Just when you think your heart can't take any more she switches it up on you.  It was pure magic from page one to the end and I never looked back.  Not to discredit the other three books in this series, because they were beautiful and I loved them and have read them several times, especially when I have needed my fix, but I think I can say that this is the best one yet.  It is hard to write this review without giving any spoilers away, but READ THE BOOK, I promise you will not regret it.  It is pure magic; and I don't say that lightly, actually I have NEVER said that on any other review.  I truly believe it is impossible not to fall in love with Lucy and Cameron.  Jay McLean has more than out done herself.  It was beautiful and totally worth the wait.  It will make you laugh, maybe break your heart, break you down a little, and in the process maybe give you a little HOPE as well.  I MORE than loved this!!
