REVIEW and GIVEAWAY ~ More Than Her (More #2) by Jay McLean


More Than Her by Jay McLean

Release date: November 19



"For every action there is an equal or opposite reaction."

For every choice you make there are rewards, 
or there are consequences.
It was my choice to walk away the first time.
And my choice to chase her the second.
But sometimes you don't get a choice, 
and all you get are the consequences.


"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, 
while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”

Unless that someone is Logan Matthews. 
Because loving him didn't give me 
the strength to walk away.
It didn't give me 
the courage to fight for him.
And when it was over, 
all it gave me was a broken heart.




5+ stars!!!

GAHHHHHHH!!!!! This book nailed ALL my emotions!!! Jeez it was 7:30 in the morning when I finished but DAMN this book isthat amazing. I thought More Than This was awesome enough, but this second book BLASTED my expectations out of the ballpark!!! 

description

I know the ending of the first book left all of us wondering who Logan was crushing on. Don't fret! Don't tear your hair out guessing because Jay delivers a most satisfying answer. My advice would be to re-read that last part in MTT and think again about what Logan is really saying. *wink* I must say that though this book has plenty of scenes with Jake, Micky, and the gang, this is truly Logan's story. His past is dark, painful, and heartbreaking to read about, and coupled with her past experiences, this book is bound to stir your emotions so make sure you bring out the tissues!!

I honestly can't review this story without giving away who the heroine is or blurt out certain plot twists so I'm going to do a gif review. Just a heads up. 

When I first started reading, I was nervous and excited to see who this girl was. When I got to that part, the very first thing that popped into my mind was:

description

Best.answer.ever. So now that I knew, it immediately left me wondering, well how the hell are they going to work their relationship out?!

But no worries! Everything ties in quite nicely, and plenty of scenes had me doubling over with laughter!! Here, this is what I mean:

At 75%

^^Cam + Lucy (drunk or not drunk) = EPIC I seriously can't wait for their story!! I think this is my favorite LOL scene. Oh wait. Yup it is. I woke up my roommate and our neighbors with my laughing!

This book also had its fair share of angst. I normally don't do well with angst, but the amount here was perfect. Enough to give me that batshit crazy feeling but not enough to drive me up a wall and chuck the book out the window. There were some choices Logan made I firmly disagreed with, but I also realized that at the time, it was probably the only choice he could've made. I think he was confused by all these feelings he had, and once I read about his past, I could definitely see why he felt unworthy and hopeless. I did plenty of this when it came to the angsty scenes, and so did Logan:

description

The humor, the originality, the sweet yet angsty story plot were all reasons for a 5 star rating for me, but what really clinched it was this HUGE, MASSIVE, NEVER SAW IT COMING twist(s) in the last quarter of the book. And I mean W.O.W.. I had to take a couple of seconds to make sure I wasn't reading it wrong. This move was pure brilliance on Jay's part. Besides saying "oh my god" like a million times, this is what I also did:

description

And the heart-to-heart scene? AHHHHHH!!! 

*True

Real*

*Heartbreak

Moment*


description

description

The ending of this book left me with three feelings:

Disbelief that this happened

description

Heart attack because it happened

description

Anticipation of what will happen

description

There is definitely much more to this addictive, encompassing, heartwrenching story, and I am anxiously, tapping my foot patiently waiting for the next installment of the series.

Bravo Jay! You more than a lot outdid yourself with this one!
