SUMMER'S BOOK BLOGEverything I Want is the final book in the Everything trilogy by K.L. Shandwick. The first two books must be read in order to understand the last one.Lily and Alfie have been through hell and back in the first two novels, they just can't seem to make their love work. After their break up Lily tries to move on and focus on the band and her music. She believed she couldn't have Alfie and the band so she chose music and works really hard to be successful with that. The band starts to become really successful which causes her to have some run-ins with Alfie. Her friends and band mates do their best to protect her from seeing him since the know how hard she is trying to move on with her life. It isn't that simple though, she can't avoid him forever when fate keeps pushing them together and he won't give her up that easily. Is there any way for Lily to have everything she wants?K.L Shandwick has written another real winner, Everything I Want was the perfect finale for this trilogy. The characters are as like-able and relate-able as always and I felt Lily was even better in this novel! She grew up alot and was much stronger, much more confident then in the previous novels. She is an awesome rocker chick and it was great to really see her come into her own in that aspect. Alfie was beyond amazing, he did and said so many things that will just melt your heart. Of course, it wouldn't be a novel about Lily and Alfie if there wasn't some misunderstanding, hurt feelings and angst! There are some moments when you will want to scream out loud in frustration at those two. Nothing ever seems to be simple or easy for them but that's life in the spotlight. As always, their attraction and sex life is steamy and electric. The author did a great job with these two characters, their love and their passion leaps right off the pages at you.K.L. is excellent at throwing a curve ball and she does it extremely well in this novel, let's just say there are a few shocking moments that really add to the story! The author has a knack for grabbing the readers attention and not letting it go. The secondary characters are incredible, especially the guys in Xraid, they really add depth to the story as well as Lily. They become Lily's second family and play a big role in her life and I couldn't help but love every single one of them. I really feel that this novel was the perfect way to end Lily and Alfie's story, every moment was just perfect right up until the swoon-worthy ending!
