The minute this popped up on my kindle library, it owned my butt!  There was no reading a few pages and coming back to it later.  This was one of those cases where the rest of my night just faded into the background and my mind was lost to the beautiful torture that was Kylie and Trace’s love story.  From the start of this series, I have adored these characters and waited excitedly for them to finally make it through the drama to the other side.  Girl In Love, the third and final book in this unforgettable series, was an incredible wrap-up for their journey and I absolutely loved it from start to finish!After Trace walked away and tore her heart out, Kylie was shattered.  My heart was crushed right along with hers at the end of Girl On Tour, and she returns from his absence as a fraction of the woman she used to be.  She’s guarding her heart like the crown jewels, and the new, the new, stronger Kylie was just awesome.  She’d learned her lesson the hard way, and when their label wanted a co-headliner tour between her and Trace, she was determined to keep her chin up and her heart off limits.After everything they’d been through together, the emotional turmoil between these two was palpable from the moment they saw each other again that first time.  With beautifully descriptive narration, Casey Quinn makes you feel every bit of the pain that Kylie faces like a punch to the gut.  My heart was racing every time Kylie had to face this man who’d ripped her to shreds, and Trace’s pain-filled thoughts had me falling for him all over again. Kylie had had to sit back and watch as Trace turned to Gretchen for support to get past his addiction, and when he walked back into her life she couldn’t overlook that.  She had Steven as her own personal buffer zone, a friend with once partial benefits who could keep Trace at arm’s length so Kylie could deal with him being with someone else.  There was a maze of misunderstandings and wrong assumptions riding on that tour bus with them, and they tried to navigate being around each other without letting the other know how much they were hurting.  As much as I wanted to slap both of them upside the head for not communicating and just getting everything out in the open, all of that heartache kept me on the edge of my seat and my stomach tied up in knots as it played out.  They were always meant to be together, and it was just a matter of time before they got past their roadblocks and figured it out for themselves!I couldn’t have been happier with the way this beautiful love story ended, and after a long and painful ride we get the perfect epilogue that left me with a big goofy grin on my face.  This truly was an outstanding series that I will never forget, and it’s one of my top recommends for the genre!Quotes:You’re crying because he’s not here to share this with you.  Because all you want is to tell him about it.  And for him to kiss you, congratulate you, and be proud of you. ~Loc 142“Grief is like your favorite pair of old sweats.  You get comfortable in them. So comfortable you don’t want to take them off even to shower.  They’re worn in and fit just right and you never want to let them go, even when they’re stained and gross and have holes all in them.”~Loc 168She wanted to roll her eyes.  Deny it.  Lie and say that she couldn’t care less.  But she’d been consumed with feeling nothing for nearly a year.  She was too tired to keep up the faade. ~Loc 280“I might’ve been slightly intoxicated when I made this particular executive decision,” she whispered to her friend as discretely as she could.Lulu checked Steven out blatantly and nodded her approval.  “Well…at least he’s nice to look at.” ~Loc 1455For a few moments, he sat in silence, alone with his thoughts. Thoughts of calling his sponsor because he wanted a drink so bad he could taste it.  But that wasn’t the want that was overpowering him.He wished they’d had rehab for Kylie Ryans addiction.  He never would’ve left. ~Loc 1491Find this and more of my reviews at:[...]
