Love, drama, angst, and heart wrenching moments--- this novel has everything a new adult/romance reader could ever ask for. This is Jay McLean's second book, and I must say that there's no denying that this lovely lady has mad skills when it comes storytelling and wonderful characters. This novel is superb!Although Jake and Mikayla make an appearance, More Than Her is not a sequel to More Than This. Instead the story is about Logan and "her." I won't tell you who "her" is. You have to read the novel to find out who she is. But I can say that she is as lovable as Mikayla. I personally liked how strong willed she is but vulnerable at the same time. She is super funny. The part when she discovers that Logan is her new roommate— really hilarious! As much as she tries to resist Logan, she can't help but give in to what the heart feels. Watching her and Logan fall in love definitely gave me many grinning moments. I always love the moment where a character opens their heart to someone else. Gives me chills every time.Going to straight to the point--- I LOVE this book! But when I think about the things that I love, two main things come into mind.First, I really love how I was able to feel so many different emotions while reading. Jay did an excellent job of constructing one hell of a rollercoaster ride. From happy to sad, to cute to hot… my emotions were everywhere. Definitely plan on bringing a box of tissues while reading. My heart dropped so many times. The part where I learned about Logan's past definitely had me balling my eyes out. Who would do that to their child? Then there's this part where Logan and Mikayla go to meet a lost relative. No way! That was one hell of a shocker!!! My favorite parts in the novel are when Logan tries to woo "her.” Those parts are to die for! I couldn't help but pray to the Higher Power to please send me my very own Logan. *Sigh*The second thing that I really love about the novel is Logan himself. Learning about his past and how he deals with different situations that come up in his life definitely made me love him even more. I really didn’t enjoy him as much in More Than This. And from the cliffhanger from the last book, I honestly thought he was going to cause some trouble in this book. But I’m glad he didn’t, and I got to learn more about who he is. Of course he fits the criteria of a perfect fictional boyfriend. He is hot. Has the perfect physique. He is funny, charming, and genuine, and caring. Plus he is smart. But what I love about him the most is seeing the changes he undergoes and the sacrifices he makes. In this book, you can see that he definitely grew up. And the things he does for her are totally sweet. Even after finishing the book, the thing that Logan does at the end... I think he did it all for her. I know that he loves her. But we shall see what happens in the next book.Overall, this is a must read for booklovers. Beautiful story! In my eyes, Jay’s books are a must read.
