did i hate Jason in the first book? yes. did i want Felicity to end up with Asher? hell yes did i think nothing will ever redeem Jason? ... yes
as you can see, i loved this dude to pieces.
okay, okay im sorry, enough with the hate. did Jace redeem himself in this book? Y E S my heart just went soft for him and the things he did in the first book? forgotten. [image]
so basically, Jace is the stepbrother from hell of the h in the first book, Hailee, and he’s been “bullying” her and the h here, Felicity, ever since Hailee’s mom and his dad got together. at the end of the first book, Hailee walks in on Felicity and Jace doing it. obviously, Jace somewhat regrets it because he can't afford any distractions because he's the QB and he wants to go to NFL blah blah blah. and Felicity did it with Jason because of her "list" but we all know she has feelings for him and vice versa.
so, this definitely has the enemies to lovers and a lot of push and pull. even though i forgave Jace, his actions is one of the reasons why i gave this a mediocre rating.
what i disliked since there's a lot of push and pull and given how Jason paraded his OW sexcapades in front of Felicity in the first book, there's a little bit of OW drama here (he kissed OW in front of her a few times and when he got jealous of seeing Felicity with Asher when they were at the bar, he got drunk and followed OW in the storage room at the bar and he got a bj).
i really dislike when H is intimate with any other OW after he's been intimate with h ESPECIALLY when Felicity and Jase were making out hours before he hooked up with this OW. so yeah... i didn't really like that and i really wish they talked about this more. he did say he didn't "fuck" her but he also didn't tell her the truth, which was kind of disappointing.
BUT i really appreciate how guilty and remorseful he felt and that's a plus for me. and besides, the OW drama in the last half of the book was more of him protecting Felicity, which ironically, won me over with his character.
another thing i didn't really like was when Felicity would give in too easily, not letting Jason work really hard. don't worry, she's no doormat, she actually fights back but at the same time, she was just too nice and forgave him all the damn time. i just wanted more grovelling tbh.
"I'm not running," I said defiantly. "Good, because I'd chase you to the ends of the earth. You're mine, Felicity. Every single piece of you.”
anyways, do i still want Asher and Felicity together? yeah...? maybe? idk. maybe im just biased because Asher is my fave and he really did treat Felicity like a queen in the last book but whatever, Jace has won me over and him and Felicity are actually pretty cute.
