I thought this was a great ending to Every Part of You.In the final installment, Simone is too distraught to even seek out the pain that seems to be her release.Even though Simone was broken, she held onto her strength during her brief encounters with Elliot, even to the point of taunting him with what he’d walked away from. I really like that she chose to let him go instead of chasing him. I think it made for a much more interesting story. She knew how miserable she was going to be without him, but she remained strong and tried to not let his words shame her. While she wasn’t entirely successful in this endeavor, she did recognize that the issue was Elliot’s and not hers and did her best to keep the separate.I really felt like Elliot was an anti-hero in this series. Not in the ‘I’m into illegal s*** but make it look cool’ sort of way, but he really wasn’t the suave type, and when it came right down to it, his confidence was a smokescreen for his daddy issues. I don’t think he had any idea what he wanted until he didn’t have it anymore. This is what made him so interesting to me. I like a flawed man, and I loved the conflict going on inside of him throughout this entire serial.While I don’t think the ending resolved every single problem Simone and Elliot had, I do feel like I’m walking away from this book knowing they are going to try their damnedest to get through their issues and not let them tear them apart again. And that works for me. I don’t need everything tied up into a neat little bow–I just like knowing they’re finally going into the relationship with everything on the table.This serial is a great if you are looking for a hot read with some emotional depth.I will definitely be checking out Megan Hart’s back list!
