Review: I just wanted more from this one.

For the most part the book was great.The story picks up YEARS after the last one, which ticked me off because I just knew they were going to waste more damn time. I still want to smack Layla, even if she did redeem herself in the end.But the story does get right to the point quickly. You don’t have to wait long at all, thank God. If I had to wait 80% of the book or something while Layla continues to mess crap up I was going to be really mad. Like expect me to start writing hate mail mad… kidding… maybe.The writing is still hilarious, multiple times through my notes I just wrote the word hilarious in all caps with lots of !!!Plus there were so many quotes and funny references throughout. Things I bet I’ll find myself saying for a while.Plus to top it off she quotes Futurama at 46%! I mean come on a writer straight after my heart.I was also really glad that Layla finally admitted everything was pretty much her fault and she messed up even if they’re both still making mistakes in this one. And of course Trip is still freakin’ sweet. The book is worth the read just to be wow’d by him. Trip could probably fit into my book boyfriend category. Not a ton of “steam” in this one, but it gets the job done.Overall the book was a great conclusion to their tumultuous love story spanning 15 years. It was everything I needed it to be for an ending. It’s only lacking a 5 star rating in that you won’t find much turmoil in this one, but that’s ok because at this point it’s not really needed. My heart needed a break. Just make sure you don’t pick this one up looking for that. It’s a quieter love story much more like the first one.
