DIMILY #3
Dich darf ich nicht begehren
Werden sich Eden und Tyler wiederfinden – oder für immer verlieren?
Zwischen Tyler und Eden war es von Anfang an die große Liebe - tief, echt und kompromisslos. Als Tyler einfach abhaut, weil er den Konflikt mit seiner Familie nicht erträgt, ist Eden tief verletzt. Um Tyler endgültig zu vergessen, geht sie zum Studium nach Chicago und stürzt sich sogar in eine halbherzige Beziehung zu einem anderen Jungen. Doch kaum steht sie Tyler in den Semesterferien wieder gegenüber, muss Eden feststellen: Sie kommt einfach nicht über ihn hinweg. Und Tyler geht es genauso, ob er will oder nicht. Wird er nun endlich über seinen Schatten springen und sich zu Eden bekennen, koste es, was es wolle?

***4 "Finally, finally, finally!!!" stars***
Finally, we took the ending of this wonderful series and i can say that this book repaid me for all the pain that i had to get through the previous two books and at the beginning of this one!!!!
The DIMILY trilogy was a rough ride full of heartbreaking, desperation and sadness, but it gave us a great insight in family matters, addiction and abuse problems, teenager behaviour.... and through all of these ugly things a great, forbidden and complicated love has bloom...
"People deserve second chances!!!"
At the end of the previous book, Tyler got overwhelmed by everything that took place when he and Eden revealed their relationship to their family and friends and he just snapped and run away... but not before, he promised to Eden that he will return back for her!!!
But Eden's heart broke and her happiness shattered by his disappearance but also by all those things that she had to deal with, alone, without Tyler by her side....
"But I don’t want to wait. I spent months waiting, wondering and guessing and driving myself insane as the days rolled into months and the months rolled into a year. I gave up on waiting a long time ago. I gave up on him a long time ago."
Now, after a whole year, Eden is back in L.A. and she is dealing with the complications from their love.... Her family is falling apart and both her father and Jamie have an awful attitude toward her and everywhere she goes everybody is whispering behind her back about her relationship with her stepbrother!!!
Eden is feeling ashamed and betrayed by Tyler... He just left her to deal with everything all alone and he is living his life somewhere else!!!
She was waiting for him, but he never came back and then she just gave up on him and their love!!!
Now, she is feeling only anger for him and nothing more....
"I don’t hate Tyler. I might have told Rachael that over the past year, but it’s a lie. I might have told Ella that I never wanted to see him again, but I’ve realized that’s a lie too. I could never hate him. I’m just . . . mad. I am mad at the fact that I no longer feel the way I used to and I am mad at him for making me feel this way."
But now, Tyler is deciding to come back and to claim Eden for once again...
For him, nothing is over and even though that he is hurting inside by Eden's rejection, he won't give up on her....
So, he is insisting for her to follow him back home because he wants to show her how he spent the time that they were apart....
“There’s nothing to talk about,” I say.
“There’s everything to talk about.”
He’s right: There is everything to talk about. I just don’t want to."
Will Eden shut him out for good or will she give him a chance to prove himself???
Will she understand his reasons why he had to leave and start a new life away from her???
Will their love are irreparable broken or they can find their way back to each other???
And how will they deal with their family and the rejections that they are having for them???
Will they fight to be together or will they give up???
"Maybe Tyler and I are done, not because we’re not in love with one another, but because we are an impossible pair." {Eden}
“I’m sorry... I shouldn’t have ruined all of this, and do you know what the worst part is? I don’t know if I can fix it, and I don’t think you want me to.” {Tyler}
For once again, i liked Eden but damn, in the half book i was so mad with her....
First of all, because she was acting like she did something very wrong and terrible...
When you have made your choice, you have to defend her!!!
Also, she gave up on Tyler so easily and i didn't like that because he had much more problems to deal with than her....
Yep, it was shitty that she had to deal with all this negative behaviour all alone, but give to that man some credits!!!!
"I don’t know what to say or how to feel. But my heart is beating painfully with a sense of longing. For all that I have convinced myself that I hate Tyler, the truth is that I have just missed him. I’ve missed hearing his voice and seeing him smirk and feeling his touch. I’ve missed Tyler and there’s no denying it now, but things are complicated."
God, i loveeeee Tyler!!! I loved him from the first time when he was the biggest asshole on earth, but in every book, I loved him even more...
He had many issues to solve and he did such a great job!!!
This man in this book wasn't anything like the boy we met in the first book!!!
He had matured so much and he became such a wonderful man.... and God, his love for Eden was so big and he never gave up on her and that was admirable!!!
“I know I’ve messed up before and I’ve made some fucked-up decisions... but the truth is, I’ve always had a choice. I chose to throw my life away when I could have chosen to do something positive about it instead. New York and the tour were a start... but that wasn’t enough, which is why I had to leave, Eden. I didn’t want to keep making mistakes. I wanted to be a better person, not because I owed it to you, but because I owed it to myself.”
Eden and Tyler was made for each other and when they were together everything was absolutely awesome!!!!
I liked how the things turned out in here.... They deserved the happiness after all the shits that they went through all those years!!!!
I liked very much what they built together in every aspect....
"It’s over, Tyler’s telling Dad.
We’re done, I’ve told Tyler.
But maybe it’s not.
Maybe we’re not."
For once again, i will speak about their family....
Both the mothers were such amazing and full of understanding creatures and i love them both very much!!!!
Chase was just an innocent child with pure heart!!!
But Jamie was such a difficult child... He was no better than Tyler in the first book and his attitude toward Eden and Tyler was pissing me off very badly....
And for once again, i will speak for Eden's asshole of father... God, in every book was worst than the previous one.... I wanted to put some sense inside his full of shit head!!!!
"Real families don’t hate one another like we do. Real families aren’t as strained as we are. Real families don’t have to deal with the stepkids falling in love like Tyler and I did...
I guess in a way we’re all just broken pieces, hoping somehow to fit together to become a perfect picture, a real family. But that will never happen. We will never, ever fit."
And that was the end of a bittersweet, heartbroken at times but also a very wonderful journey!!!
I will miss these guys very much!!!!
"It’s not wrong for us to feel the way we do. It’s not wrong for us to be together. From day one, we have never, ever been wrong.
Maybe these past three years we’ve been fighting so hard to get everyone else to accept our relationship when the only two people who needed to accept it us was ourselves.
And after all this time, I think we finally have."

(I received an advance copy of this book for free. Thanks to SOURCEBOOKS Fire and NetGalley.)
This was a YA contemporary romance which picked up a year after the previous book.
I felt quite sorry for Eden in this book as it seemed like she’d had to put up with a lot during the course of a year, whilst Tyler had just left and put everything but Eden behind him.
The storyline in this was about Eden and Tyler meeting up again after a year apart, and having to decide where their relationship would go, especially given how against the relationship it seemed Eden’s father was. I did feel like it took a while for the book to really get going though, and there wasn’t enough romance for me, as the story was more about the arguments and conflict than the romance.
The ending to this was happy though, and I was pleased for Eden and Tyler.
6.5 out of 10
“The biggest difference between your dad and Tyler?” Mom says quietly. She hesitates for only a moment. “Your dad never came back.”

No podría haber imaginado un mejor final para esta trilogía. Creo que este ha sido mi favorito de los 3.
October 14, 2016
Did I Mention I Miss You was one of my most anticipated reads of 2016 and when it released I instantly bought the ebook (and the physical copy of course) and started reading it. Unfortunately, I got into a reading slump the next day and that one lasted for one month. It was upsetting, but I’m glad I finally got to read it.
When I started reading Did I Mention I Miss You, I didn’t have any problems getting used to Eden again; it was pretty easy actually. In DIMILY and DIMINY it was easy for me to read from Eden’s perspective and while I couldn’t particularly relate to her, I felt a deep connection. And I could feel that connection when I was reading DIMIMY too. It’s unique to have such a special bonding with a character.
And when we’re talking about characters, let’s talk about Tyler. Because he totally amazed me – throughout the whole book. Comparing him with his nineteen year old self (DIMIMY) or even his seventeen year old self (DIMILY) he has grown so much. His character development and personality change totally did it for me. I actually really hated Tyler in DIMILY, but I must say.. he really is a grown man in DIMIMY. I’ve never seen such a development and I loved how he turned out to be.
I was really skeptical about the whole Tyden drama when I started reading DIMIMY because I was so shocked about the ending of DIMINY. I totally gave up on them since then, so I didn’t really know what to expect from DIMIMY. I was also very skeptical about Eden’s feelings; being so freaking mad to Tyler but still having feelings for him. In some kind of way it wasn’t realistic in my point of view.
I loved that they went to Portland this time. It’s a new city to discover (at least for me, it wasn’t for Eden and Tyler) and I liked to read about something different than the good old Santa Monica. I liked the way Estelle described all the surroundings; it was detailed, but not that detailed and that balanced it out perfectly.
One thing I miss in Did I Mention I Miss You is the original casting. Sure, it’s most likely groups fall apart (I also saw it happen in real life) but I just missed the whole group. Their adventures, their parties.. it felt like I missed a small part of the story because of that. Overall, I do like the new group. They’re all on the same page and just nice to each other - I don’t know how to describe it another way.
The thing that disappointed me the most in Did I Mention I Miss You was the drama. Let’s be honest, DIMILY and DIMINY are full of drama (you guys all know how much I love drama) and I missed that in DIMIMY. It kind of had an anti climax feel to it and I pity that. I don’t want to spoil, so I’ll keep it vague, but one thing happened and I expected something big and dramatic to happen, but it didn’t. It just didn’t. Even the ending wasn’t full of climax or that dramatic and it didn’t make it memorable at all. And I just feel sorry for it.
So overall, I really liked this book. It was easy to read and I loved the character development and the writing. The only thing I didn’t like was the ending and the anti climax feel. So that’s why I give it four stars.

3,5 en realidad.
Miss you es la última parte de la trilogía You. Una trilogía que para mí ha decaído un poquito en este último libro con un ritmo mucho más lento y pausado, donde el final se me hizo bastante previsible. La parte positiva de estas novelas son sin duda la evolución de los personajes, la autora ha hecho muy buen trabajo en este tema. Y aunque este último libro me ha gustado, siento que no tanto como los dos anteriores. Pero me ha gustado leer el final de la historia de Eden y de Tyler y saber qué sería de ellos, los he cogido mucho cariño sin duda.

3.7 "No te rindas"
Un buen libro como cierre de la historia; se cerraron círculos, se dieron segundas oportunidades, comenzaron a sanar algunas heridas, se tomaron decisiones para futuro, y lograron sobrepasar los obstáculos más grandes. Fue una buena lectura en general, sólo me quedo una duda, ¿y Dean? ¿Los perdonará? :/

Viel passiert ist ja leider nicht, aber da ich die Reihe an sich echt gerne mochte und das Ende schön war, gibt es 4 Sterne

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S OVER!
Wow. These books were a complete thrill from start to finish. Tyler's character development is like no other and I was so overwhelmed with happiness when we found out about the youth centre. I'm so happy Estelle made the decision to bring Tyler "back to health" and let him get help as it's something that could inspire anyone reading that it is possible to start
But I'm so happy we went from "Silence ensues. And it's so unbelievably awkward and uncomfortable that I think I could cry. How did it end up like this? How did we get here?" from the start of the book to "I'm smiling against his lips because my happiness in that moment is so overwhelming that I just can't control it anymore." at the end. IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY BECAUSE TYLER AND EDEN DESERVE SO MUCH HAPPINESS. They've finally accepted their situation, as has everyone around them, and it makes me so happy because I didn't think there was anything wrong with their situation in the first place; they're not related.
Though I did feel as if everything happened too fast after Tyler came back into the picture. Eden went from hating him to loving him and put her trust in him SO fast and I get it because love but it felt rushed when you put it into perspective. And the shooeessssss! Eden brought the converse out again and aghhh I loved that symbol for them so much.
I don't really have much to say because all I have is happiness bubbling inside of me from how Eden sorted things out with her dad and how she and Tyler are together and how cute Chase is and from Tyler being honest with Ella about his dad and just everything. I'm so happy. But I could edit this later when the happiness has dissipated and make it into a real review but we'll just see.
I'm also so sad I've finished with this trilogy, I was SO invested in it and it's rare for me to find a book I want to be attached to every second of the day. I hope Estelle writes an epilogue in the form of a novella in the future because I think that would be nice. But aside from that, a definite 5/5 for this book and the series. I loved every single aspect of it and I would definitely recommend to anyone.

I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
After the truth came out about Eden and Tyler's relationship, Tyler left Eden to deal with the fallout. A pariah in her own family, she's dreading returning to LA to face everyone. Her life in Chicago at college is going great, and she would love more than anything to hide out there for the summer, but she knows she'll have to face it all eventually. When Ella organises for a family trip to Sacramento, with all the family, including Tyler, Tyler finally sees just what Eden's been suffering sine he left, and they decide to leave, and go to Portland - Eden's old hometown, and where Tyler's been for the past year. Tyler is sorry for leaving Eden, and want's nothing more than for them to be together, and in Portland, they finally can be.
Tyler and Eden have grown so much throughout this series. In the beginning, they were annoying, and not well thought out, but now they're fully fleshed out characters, and I'm sad to see them go. Eden had a lot of anger at the start of this book - understandably, really - but once she understood why Tyler did what he did, she mellowed, and fell for him all over again. Though Tyler had been gone for a year, that doesn't mean he's been doing nothing. In Portland, he's been working hard on a project of his, and I felt proud of him, as if he was someone I knew.
I'm really glad with how the series ended, and am looking forward to reading more from this author in the future.

4/5 BAM, in één avond uit. Ik krijg geen genoeg van deze trilogie. Vlotte schrijfstijl, superveel drama en romantiek. Heerlijk boek om te lezen als je een leesdip hebt. (De vele 'fucking's in dit boek begreep ik niet helemaal, maar dat neem ik nu maar voor lief)

It’s quite ridiculous how fast I read this book. Right after I finished the second one I started this one and I read it in one night. The book was really addicting and entertaining.
The book takes place one year after Tyler leaves. During this time Eden hasn’t had any contact with him what so ever and is left alone to deal with the mess they made last summer. She has convinced herself that she’s not in love with Tyler anymore and she’s really mad at him. Everything changes when he suddenly shows up.
Tyler in this book was a lot more mature and calm, it was great to see that he has finally put the past behind him and he’s trying to be better. I was really proud of him for going to therapy.
I totally understand why he had to leave, but he couldn’t have seriously expected that everything would be all right. Eden had every right to be mad.
Tyler and Eden were really cute in this book. Especially Tyler has grown up a lot during the 3 years and it’s really nice to see, how in the end he turned out to be really great.
I have mixed opinions about the end. I get that the author tried to make the end as happy as possible, but I don’t think all that was necessary. I mean Tyler being in contact with the father that abused him?!? I know that it’s explained and all, but just don’t think that it was necessary. Same thing with Eden’s father. In the end they don’t exactly get on, but their relationship is a bit better. I just find it unnecessary, it’s okay not to have a perfect relationship with your father. Family is important, but when someone is acting as a jerk the whole time, you’re not obligated to get on with them.
Overall this was a fun series and I’m glad I read it. I would recommended if you are looking for a light contemporary, but be aware that sometimes the main character can be annoying and make really irrational decisions so if you get easily annoyed it’s definitely not the book for you.

I need to stop saying I'm going to stop reading this series, because at this point, I'm just lying to myself. Every time I'm looking for a quick read late at night, this series shows up conveniently, and its available from the library every time.
The stepsibling romance might throw some people off, and I do have to admit that I do find it weird, even though they're not related at all. I mainly just find myself ignoring that they're stepsiblings, which is fairly easy. Eden and Tyler's romance has really had its ups and downs throughout this series, but I really liked where this book took their romance. I liked seeing how hard Tyler had worked to heal himself in this book, and how much he tried to change. I was a bit startled by Eden's dad and how he affected this one, but I'm happy that they reconciled. These books are definitely quick reads, and I really like them when I'm just looking for something I don't have to think about. I'd definitely recommend this for romance readers!

¡Me ha encantado!
Sin duda alguna ha sido, junto al segundo, mi libro favorito. En él podemos ver el final de la historia entre Eden y Tyler y ¡menudo final! 😍
En este libro se puede hacer un balance de los personajes y ver la evolución que han sufrido desde el comienzo de la saga, especialmente en los protagonistas, y, sobretodo, en Tyler ¡no ha podido gustarme más!
Es una historia que, a pesar de su sencillez, siempre me deja con ganas de más y con una especie de vacío, tras leer la saga me cuesta volver a introducirme en una nueva historia. Además, se agradece que la relación no sea tóxica y, en ella, se muestre la superación personal, familiar y a nivel de pareja.
Para terminar decir que tanto Eden como Tyler, y su historia, tienen un huequito en mi corazón.
¡Gracias Estelle por hacer esta saga!

Als je een boek binnen 24 uur uitleest, moet het wel goed zijn toch? Geen literair hoogstandje, maar leest heerlijk weg. Een waardig einde van de triologie.

Did I Mention I Miss You? is the final book in the DIMILY trilogy. It's by far my favorite book out of the entire series! I thought Estelle Maskame brought Tyler and Eden's story to a beautiful close and I absolutely loved it.
"I guess in a way we're all just broken pieces, hoping somehow to fit together to become a perfect picture, a real family."
The story begins almost a year after Tyler decided to leave behind both Santa Monica and Eden to find his purpose in life. Which brings us back to Eden and her life right now. She's spent a year away from home, attending college in Chicago, but that doesn't mean that everyone has forgotten about her forbidden relationship with her step-brother. She's still dealing with all of the looks and snickers surrounding her as she's back in Santa Monica for the summer.
Tyler is no longer in Eden's life, her relationship with her family is strained, and the only good outcome from all of this is the fact that it's brought her closer to her best friend, Rachael. Let me start off by reminding you that I couldn't stand Eden in the last book. She was selfish, childish, and moody. I hoped that she would redeem herself though and I'm happy to announce that she certainly did! She's a bit lost and insecure at the beginning of the book, but she quickly finds her confidence and strength by sticking up for herself and the things she loves. I could instantly connect to this more mature side of her and was pleased to see how well she grew by the end of the series.
As the story progresses, Tyler finds his way back home to Santa Monica and he brings all of the drama. I loved seeing him again though because he's a lot calmer than he was in the last book. . . And definitely more swoon-worthy! We learn the story behind what he's been doing for the past year without Eden and where he's at in his life now. Tyler is probably my favorite character out of this series because he ended up being more than just a moody/typical bad boy. Like Eden, he has truly grown up and developed into a more mature person which made me happy to see.
My favorite aspect of this book was the fact that it deals more with their family issues than anything else. Now that their relationship is more established, these two have to work together to build something in a way where it will no longer hurt the people around them. First, I loved Ella and her relationship with both Tyler and Eden. Second, the conversations between Eden and her father completely broke me. It was so important to see all of these relationships unfold and become complicated though. I was so proud of the way they dealt with everything concerning their family.
Tyler and Eden's story ends beautifully, and it's full of hope for both of their futures. We see old faces and all of the storylines get wrapped up nicely. There were a few characters that I wish got a reappearance, but I was happy they were at least mentioned in this book. It wraps up nicely where not everything is perfect either, which makes this story both realistic and relatable. I'm happy that Maskame didn't just write a "happily ever after" ending for her characters because it would've felt too rushed. Also, her writing was just as fantastic and continues to grow through each book she writes!
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. Unlike the previous books, there was less (pointless) drama and more meaningful moments to drive this story to a close. There were plenty of adorable moments between Tyler and Eden, and great reunions also! DIMIMY was everything I hoped it would be and more! Like always, I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys contemporaries or romance, or if you've read any of the previous books because you are sure to enjoy this one!

I seriously love Estelle right now! This book was so amazing. Definitely after the horrific cliff hanger last time, it just really summed the trilogy up in the most heart-warming way possible! I'm so happy with the ending and how much they have both changed since the first book. I love how lovable Eden is in this book and how it's so hard not to fall in love with Tyler all over again. They really are the best fictional characters. I once again think the plot is extremely creative and magical and I love having to adapt to the new surroundings once again. After the end of the last book, I was in tears and hating the book but thank goodness I decided to read the last one because it was definitely worth it. You definitely have to have read the first two to understand it so be careful when buying the book! I rated it a 5* because it has made my year so far. I definitely love this book because believe me when I say it is hot, hot, hot!

Een heerlijke afsluiter van een prima serie. Je leest er snel door heen, zit zo weer in het verhaal en werd goed afgerond. Geen losse eindjes, voor de verandering wel fijn

This review contains *MASSIVE SPOILERS*. You are WARNED!!
Ah, the final novel in this trainwreck of a series did not fail to disappoint. We find Eden a year after her stepbrother/lover/almost boyfriend has left her to go work on himself. Of course, he also left her to deal with the repercussions of everyone finding out they dated (however briefly). Imagine the fun, having people stare, talk behind your back, or directly to your face, about what a "freak" you are and how you're totally gross for dating family! What a fun summer she's having back in Santa Monica. Not to mention her father hates her, her stepbrother Jamie hates her, and both of them are antagonizing her constantly. What fun.
Naturally, Tyler isn't gone for long in this book. He shows up out of the blue, and can't figure out why Eden is mad, why she's covered up her 'no te rindas' tattoo, or why they're not magically picking up where they left off. (Seriously. They haven't spoken in a year. She's ignored all his calls. But he's this oblivious?)
Somehow, stepmother Ella thinks the magical solution to keep the family from falling apart (even further) is to take them on a weekend trip. Which goes about as well as you'd imagine. That is to say, not at all. But somehow, on this trip, Eden decides it'd be better to escape with Tyler. Because, surprise, surprise, she's still got feelings for him!
So they sneak off, with Ella's approval, because, of course, to Portland, where Tyler's been living for the past year. On the way, and while she's there, Eden totally forgives him, and realizes that his escape was totally necessary, because he really needed to work on himself, and he's *so* different now, that it was worth him taking off and leaving her to deal with the fallout on her own. All the anger and hate she had is gone in a poof of magic smoke, and now she's super in love with him again. Because *of course*.
Now they're in Portland and they're acting like they're a couple, until they decide to *be* a couple, and to commemorate it, they decide--on a whim--to get tattoos. Eden gets the tattoo that she covered up *again*, which is the best choice anyone can ever make, ever. (Don't let anyone tell you not to get a tattoo for a guy, cover it up when you break up, and then get it again when you've been dating for all of an hour.) And it's totally sweet and romantic because they get it in each other's handwriting, awww.
Sorry, where was I?
Oh. Right. Now Tyler works as a barista, and also runs a volunteer charity for underprivileged kids, where they can go hang out and talk. (Good.) Emily from the second book is also there, because the author doesn't realize how immigration works, and that visas aren't handed out for volunteering. (Granted, she could be there on a tourist visa, but it sure is made out like she's living in the US now, "working" at this place, and... that's just not how it works. Trust me. You only get a visa for special skills that are in need in the US, and otherwise, poor Emily is gonna get the boot after a few months in the States!)
It's also worth mentioning that Tyler's DAD is the one who pays for the place. Yeah, his abusive asshole dad, who was in jail, and the source of his demons. You know, the ones that drove him to alcohol and cocaine? Turns out he's forgiven his father because they attended some group counseling, and now he's back in Tyler's life! So... that's... a thing that's happening. I... really feel like the author is sending out the worst messages in this book. "Sure, it's okay to forgive your abusive father, who knocked you around as a kid! And let him back into your life on a regular basis, because he's *trying* to be a better person. And that means something. Even though your mother would never approve, because he *ruined your life, and her life, and damaged your brother, too!*
What. The. Actual. Fuck?
Oh, but it gets better. Eden decides to transfer schools so she can be with Tyler! *The* thing most parents fear, girls giving up their dreams and going to a school they didn't want to, just to be closer to a guy! But it's okay, because her former best friend (who hasn't been mentioned since the first book, I think, and who Eden hasn't talked to in like, 3 years) also goes there, and they're BFFs again!
And there's more! After they declare themselves official, they go back to confront Eden's father, and Tyler's brother. Because!
And it turns out Eden's father is only against things because Tyler's not good enough for his little girl! It turns out he's only so angry at Eden because she took her mom's side in the divorce. SO it *TOTALLY* forgives him being a piece of shit human being to her, and treating her like dirt on his shoe for *YEARS*, guys!!
I can't evennnn.

Disclaimer: Se ainda não leste o 2° livro “Já te disse que te preciso de ti?” vai ler e logo vens ver a review!
Passou um ano desde que Eden falou com Tyler. Um ano desde que ele desapareceu sem deixar rasto. Éden está pronta para ir para a faculdade em Chicago e deixar para trás toda a história com Tyler.
Mas este livro não é só um romance. As famílias estão perdidas. Os laços familiares cortados, como é que Eden e Tyler irão conseguir concertar os corações e a família?
Este livro foi doloroso e fez-me chorar imenso. Já não são apenas dois corações partidos, são mais. Amizades a descambar, inseguranças, pessoas sem rumo e muitas palavras por dizer.
Para além disso, a evolução dos personagens foi gigante! A maturidade do Tyler, a perspicácia da Eden.
Que final lindo. Depois de tanta luta e de tentas desavenças finalmente corre tudo bem.
Só sei que esta trilogia me vai deixar muitas saudades, porque me marcou imenso. Não é só um romance entre irmãos, é uma luta contra a sociedade, a batalha onde só o amor pode vencer...

Für mich wurde die Reihe leider immer schlechter. Die Personen und ihre Handlungen haben mich größtenteils genervt. Man hätte die ganze Story einfach kürzen können, aber sonst hätte man ja keinen Dreiteiler draus machen können ;)
