I fell in love with this series the instant I read the 1st book. I have enjoyed the friendships and watching each character develop and grow as the books are released. I feel like each book is uniquely different as the characters themselves are. With that said, I expected more from Easy/Jimmy. As a reader we were able to follow his journey as he struggles with the new reality of his life in each book, but if someone was to pick his book to read 1st  I think they would be lost. This man wanted to die, he contemplated suicide, he's bitter and lost, he's scared of the life ahead of him. I feel like more of that side of him was shown in the other books, the depth of the despair he felt. In his book he's deeply entrenched in the "anger" of his loss and it is a loss he has suffered, a death of his old self. I feel like I missed the most important stage of grief process and that's his acceptance. I thought is was rushed and in all honestly it was disappointing.Daisy, Easy's, love interest is somewhat lost herself. She's didn't fit in and has made poor decisions in the men she has chosen before. She also has insecurities due to how she has grown up. She's created this persona of toughness but really she just wants to belong to someone. I loved the tats and piercings. I thought she was different female lead and just the right person to shake up Easy's life. What I did not like is how quickly they sleep together. I would have liked to have seen a few more interactions at the bar, before the bathroom hook up.  I have no issues with either one of them using the other for their own needs and I loved how the 1st time did not go well. I thought her story line should have been fleshed out more, everything was too neatly wrapped up for me. I absolutely loved her interactions with Milo, I thought the whole "nice tat's" was hysterical and I really, really hope we get a book about Adam, I will be so disappointed if we don't!Bottom Line, I am a huge fan of this author and will always read her work. I appreciate the fact that writing is personal and it must be scary to put yourself out there for all to judge. I can't wait for the next book and will be among the 1st to buy.
