It takes a lot of talent to
take a character who is highly unlikable and make her a princess. But Ginger
Scott did all that and more. This series has absolutely been one of the best
New Adult series I have read this year.
When we first meet Paige in
This is Falling she was highly unlikable and I was so relieved when she moved
out to join the Delta’s and we didn’t have to hear from her, I kind of hoped
she would just drop out of the series altogether. Then we saw a little more of
her selfish, nastiness in You and Everything After and I wanted her to be hit
by a bus.
But the thing that had me holding my breath waiting for this final instalment in a series that has kept me rapt from the first page was the teaser at the end of You and Everything After.
As I read this I was
reminded of one of my favourite quotes from Making Faces “everyone is a main character to someone” and
I got the opportunity to see Paige through the eyes of Houston. As well as see
the actions I had judged so harshly from her point of view rather than just
seeing the fallout they created for other people.
And I found myself wanting
her friends and family to see everything she was going through and help her.
But Paige isn’t a princess in need of rescuing, she is more than capable of
saving herself and it was an absolute pleasure to watch her strength and
character grow. And to see her realise how phenomenal she is.
From the second I met Houston
I loved him. He was the perfect gentleman without putting up with Paige’s
bullshit or coming across as weak. Houston’s life was hard and his history was
devastating but he was such an amazing knight in shining armour and the other
parts of his life just made him a very solid candidate for Book Boyfriend of
the Year.
I am truly devastated to
see the end of this series but I am excited to now have a new go to author
after discovering these books. So if you’re a fan of New Adult or College
romance these are a must read.
