I was going to say something about them in my review and then totally spaced it when I wrote it. :) I figured out who was who because (if I remember right) the chapters stated the name at the top and so if I looked at that then I could figure out who was who. I wish I had a hard copy so I could go look to see if I'm remembering right. It's already off my Kindle.<br /><br /><br />I love that I can recommend this one to everyone and I'll be grabbing a copy and maybe getting it for one of my nieces. She's the perfect age for this one.<br /><br /><br />I haven't been disappointed by this author yet and sometimes it can be rare to have consistency from an author, you know? Looking forward to her next Lonely Hearts' book!<br /><br /><br />Thanks, Pam! I always love your comments. :)Tressahttp://www.wishfulendings.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874758882938332051.post-54428676835560449572014-09-14T22:16:29.395-07:002014-09-14T22:16:29.395-07:00I do love Gallowglass too. :) I really liked the s...I do love Gallowglass too. :) I really liked the second book, but sometimes I need slower-paced books in-between all these page-turners and I am a sucker for historical settings, so I connected with those parts. I can totally see what you mean, though. Overall a good series and I'm looking forward to seeing what she tackles next.Tressahttp://www.wishfulendings.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874758882938332051.post-89861810351974253102014-09-13T06:43:05.965-07:002014-09-13T06:43:05.965-07:00I loved the fact that it takes place over a five y...I loved the fact that it takes place over a five year time period, that so unusual for a YA novel. But by doing that, I felt like I really got to know Macallan and Levi and it was such a pleasure to watch their relationship grow and deepen over time. I loved how much they truly cared about each other and the fact that they knew each other so well (the complete opposite of insta-love). Too well, from the perspective of their significant others (at different points in time). I loved how they have such a connection and when they talk, they basically leave everyone else out (unintentionally). I loved how they become part of each other's family and even through their ups and downs, they always know the other one will be there. There was so much that was different from the usual YA novel.<br /><br /><br /> I loved their bantering, and I really enjoyed the beginning of each chapter when Macallan and Levi would be talking back and forth from the present as they reminisced about their relationship (although I was confused sometimes about who was talking since it was just dialogue, no he saids or she saids). Did you have that problem? That was my only real complaint.<br /><br />I just loved how they knew each other so well but were also so blind. Such a sweet and fun romantic contemporary!

Honestly, I thought the second book dragged. A lot. And it was almost pointless, except for just a few things that moved the plot forward. But the third book was better. I did have so many questions that weren't really answered, though. Our book club had a mini-bookclub meeting for those that had read the trilogy and we all really liked it, but we all had different issues with it. A spin-off, yes…with Gallowglass! (Really not happy with how things turned out for him).
