Rebound was one of my favorite books this year. And the ending was by far one of the worst heartbreakers ever. I mean like ripped out. If you haven't read this book, you need to. So I was highly anticipating resilient. I could not wait. As soon as I read the first page, I knew why. I missed Katrine and her girls. I missed their smart assness and banter. I missed their ability to make me laugh. I mean who else gets smacked in the eye by their own boob. Yeah, true story. Well, in the book I mean. Then there is Ian. The whole time everything is happening and their relationship was developing I was like wow. Okay Ian. How can she not want this guy. I mean don't get me wrong Xander was amazing and hot. But what he did, it broke her heart after she just got it back. I get part of her heart still belonged to him, but she had to move on right? Best way to get over a guy is to get under a new one. And boy did she get under a new one. RAWR Ian, RAWR! Then it happen. Xander show back up and the wound is ripped back open. Those emotions are just as fresh. And that's the beginning of it all. The beginning of fallin back in love. The beginning of breaking hearts. The beginning of awkwardness. It's the beginning of it all. Awkward bc her friends don't want to like Ian. I'm not explaining the rest. You have to read it for that. I'm not gonna lie. The beginning of the book felt like it was a bit rushed for me. But in all fairness I preferred it bc I just wanted to get to Ian and Xander. I know, I'm Pervy like that. But when I got to it. Nikki didn't fail to deliver in any way, shape or form. She has your heart jumping from one team to the other without realizing you are doing it. She has you pulling for Xander even after you know what happened. She has you wanting to tell her to man up and fight for what she wants. The way it all unfolds is spectacular. Nikki doesn't hold back and you take the ride right with Katrine and the girls. I love that at time she has you guessing who is present and who things are happening to - who is she looking at, who is she thinking of, who is in the hospital at the end. She finds ways to keep you on your toes and it's worth the wait every time. I can't get enough Xander and Ian.
