In this last part of Joe’s and D’s story, Joe will have to decide what he really wants. And how far he’s willing to go for it. He is scheduled to leave for Amsterdam in a few days, and afterwards he’s got to be at his office for almost two weeks to cover for Steve. Will he see Christine again? Or Liz? And how are things with D going to turn out?
I adored this book series. Before I started Can You Mend It?, all I wanted to read was a believable romance. Although that is exactly what this series is, it is also an absolute tour de emotions.
There were parts of this series that made me laugh out loud, happy cry, sad cry, and scream at the top of my lungs (something like "AHH JUST CALL HER, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!!!"). What I may have loved most about the way these books are written is that they aren't always predictable and Billy Wood-Smith does a great job at avoiding cliché. Reading this was kind of like a kick in the butt regarding other sappy love stories I've read. Why can't they all be like this?
Anyway, if this review or the summary has turned you on to this book in ANY way, I highly suggest you take the plunge and read the series. You won't regret it!
The perfect finale for a great series! Just like the other two books, this felt so real. There were a lot of things that I didn't see coming, but they made absolute sense and tied in with the two other books like a puzzle. In this book the chemistry between Joe and D was more tangible than in the others, without it ever getting sappy or boring. They talk, act and screw up like people do in real life. That's what makes the happy ending all the more enjoyable! I really wish there was more!
It's so refreshing to read a story that is realistic and has something we can all relate to! I read alot of romance books and this trilogy is absolutetly one of my favorites and I highly recommend it! Smartly written and I'm looking forward to see what Ms. Wood comes up with next!
I finished it last night and am still a little dazed. I am not sure what I will do without more to read about Joe and D. I have hardly ever read a book (let alone three) that hit so close to home and made me feel so connected to the characters.
To me this is the perfect series with a smart, interesting and conclusive story. A nice change from all the so-called series that start out with one halfway good book and then go on and on telling the same story from all possible perspectives and no real news whatsoever.
I found the writing style amazing. The way Joe, D, Sarah, Jack and Liz interact in their talks, e-mails and text messages sound perfectly real, and the third person narrative helps that it never gets too sweet or boring. To me the message of this story is that if you’ve got the special something with someone it’s worth fighting for no matter what. (Love is stronger than pride!) Even when Joe and D try to fight their feelings, because it’s inconvenient and complicated and there is a danger to get hurt they are drawn to each other so much that they cannot resist anyway. It’s so cute how they take turns making the first step. I loved that. Also that the conciliations never happen in the way you would expect and have seen a hundred times before, but in the most unique, surprising settings, with witty conversations and through some really smart moves that made me cheer sometimes. I really loved it! And I think I will read book 1 again to see what I missed the first time. Maybe that helps with the withdrawal. I think a sequel about when they first met would be great.
Wow. Perfect. Amazing. I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. I love happy ever after. I can't remember when I read the last book but this one fell into place like I just finishing the second booked of this series. I remembered every character. This series deserves more than five stars. Oh my gosh I love the chemistry between Joe and D. They belong together. I have to admit I was frustrated with D for long it took her to get rid of Pete. And Joe's ex was hella crazy. Every time I read the name Liz, I wanted to scream. I'll leave you with this "I want more". You won't regret reading this series.
Absolutely amazing. Great story. Believable characters that actually seem to learn from mistakes and are really good together. The ending couldn't have been better! A rare find!
