CORejection_eBook_LowRes


You know the universe is trying to tell you something when you get struck by lightning, but only after getting hit on by the elderly, almost getting run over by a semi, and running into the one who got away.
Why do they say it like that anyway?
Like I accidentally lost her when she was the one that got in the car with my best friend and left me.
The day after I proposed.
We were eighteen.
I wanted forever.
She didn't.
It's been ten years.
I tried to move on, tried to get married, had that same wedding crashed by my now best friend who says the only way for me to stop pissing off the universe, is to gain closure with the one woman I can't forget.
So I do it.
I embark on a journey down memory lane that not only lands me in prison but on the receiving end of a fist fight in front of the entire town, this naturally happens after drunken pool sex, climbing the same girl's window, and getting threatened at gunpoint by her father.
To say the universe is trying to tell me something anything, is a giant understatement.
I just hope I survive the message.
And then, I hope I survive her—again.


Review
4 Stars

GAH! FINALLLLLLLLLYYYY!!! I have been so dying to read Jason’s story. He was just that one character where you completely felt sorry for and wanted to comfort, hug and shield him from all the others. He needed and deserved his HEA! Lol. So now I don’t know if my heart has built some type of wall or I’m in some type of book funk because I just………Ugh! It pains me to say this because this author is my go-to, instant one-clicker, most favorite author but this story was just okay! I think my expectations were very high for this one. I don’t know.

This book was funny, yes. Hilarious! But it was more like, come on how much more ridiculous can Max get? How much more pain and incidents can Jason endure? Where was all that hurt and pain and anger he held inside for so long? It’s like his feelings and all the pain he’s been holding in towards Maddy for the past ten years were just glossed over. It was more sweet and romantic, which is cute and all but again maybe my expectations were just too high considering how long we waited to finally get Jason’s story.

I still enjoyed the story. It was a good read and Rachel Van Dyken is still a favorite of mine. She’s just such a talented writer.  I just don’t think this is one of her best ones. But Jason finally gets his HEA!! YAY! I mean I would have made Maddy suffer a little more for breaking our poor Jason’s heart. I think she got off way too easy. I did love Jason and Maddy together though. They were cute and sweet. Not too high on the emotions in this book but overall a good read and it of course had its LOL moments.
