Rating: 3 out of 5

3.5 StarsI am going to start off by saying that I loved, adored, and all around thoroughly enjoyed Remember When 1. I,myself, am a member of the graduating class of 1991, I know I'm totally dating myself here, and thought that Ms. Torrest got it right. I fell in love with both Trip and Layla, they were so well written out and I felt like I could understand them. I wasn't the biggest fan of book 2, I felt gutted by the ending and it felt like there was a ton of unneeded typical book 2 angst. I was still willing to give book 3 a go, because I was totally invested in this couple and wanted to see where they would go. So yesterday I sat down and gave them my full attention and while the ending of this series was a happy one it was a little too sweet for me. I know, I was just complaining about all the unnecessary angst of book 2 but I just felt book 3 was so fluffy. The fact of the matter, for me, is while I liked it and it was an ok conclusion for the series I wasn't blown away nor in love, certainly no where near where I was when I finished book 1. I felt like the parts I really wanted to know about we're rushed, especially the ending and the parts I couldn't really care less about we're drawn out. I would have liked to know more about the years 4.5 that were skipped over, we learned almost nothing about what Layla was doing during that time other then she became a writer. I just think there was potential for so much more.
