So happy to read that Brad moves on from Becca. Claire, Brad's ex girlfriend from high school is in a bad place with her fiance Chip Who is abusive. When Brad comes to Michigan for a wedding Claire asks hot help and he does. You need to ready this book. I could not put down my kindle fire till I finished this series. You need to read the entire series. You will not be disappointed.

Good finish to the series. I liked that this was from Brad's POV. I felt parts of it dragged, then others went way too quickly. Brad was a bit of a whiner in this book and seemed to carry a chip on his shoulder about his relationship with Becca. I would recommend this series to others.

I really loved it. This book was Brad's POV, and it was all new, moving on. This ended the series perfectly!

This was the only part of the series worth reading. Brad was a likeable character and I’m glad he finally realized that Becca was not all that; it was all about her and she wanted him at her beck and call and then to go away when she didn’t want him. I am glad how things turned out for him.

I did not read this book with the rest of the series so it was not included in my last review. This book was a nice wrap up to the whole series even though the story was rushed and the relationship was not very developed. There is also quite a bit more language (f words) in this little book than the rest of the series.
***Spoiler part of the review****
I thought Brad was very bitter and although I can see that he would feel that way, that feeling never came from him in any of the other books so it seemed manufactured to me. Also if this is how it was going to end up I think there should have been more of an insight into their relationship in the other books, but I realize it wasn't about them then. I was happy to see more of the relationship between Becca and Ethan and Brad and how they coexist.

Holding on series
I loved all 4 books. Very funny but also tear jerker at times. I would recommend these books to everyone.

"I enjoyed the entire series. This was a wonderful way to end the series." - Amazon reviewer
blurb:
Flawed Reality: a situation that is imperfect, altering ones perception of what is actually happening
My reality was flawed from the beginning. I saw things one way, the way I wanted to see them, but they were never as I envisioned. I was blinded by so much that fantasy and reality started to blur together.
Sometimes I feel like I’ve wasted an entire part of my life waiting on Becca. Other times I feel like it was all worth it. That, in the end, the way things worked out was the universe’s way of allowing me to find the path which would lead me to where I would end up, to who I would end up with.
Who would have guessed my life would come full circle? I sure as hell wouldn’t have. Even when I look back now, I still have no idea how I got so damn lucky. I was such as ass back in the day. I was selfish. I didn’t care if I hurt other people as long as I got what I wanted. Then, when I didn’t get what I wanted, I got angry. I suppressed my anger, got drunk and liked to fight.
Like I said, I was an ass. A Grade-A jerk. I deserved to be alone. I deserved to be miserable. I caused misery. Not because I wanted others to be miserable like I was but because it was all I knew. I was desperate for what I couldn’t have, for who I couldn’t be with.
