Falling #3
Falling For Jax
Can lust at first sight turn into happily ever after?
I’m a bad boy, or so everyone thinks. Women assume I’ll show them a good time and then walk away.
But I want more. I want to find my queen.
One look at her and I know she’s the one.
Just when I think everything’s perfect, her fear takes her away from me.
But when tragedy strikes there’s no way I’m passing up a second chance to make her mine.
Is it possible to fall even harder for her once I know the truth?

Finding Forever After Tragedy
This starts where Molly and Ryan's book ends, and it's so heartbreaking. 😢💔🤰 This can be triggering for some, so be mindful.
When not experiencing some of the worst moments in many women's lives, their story goes between present and past. Some of it is known from 'Falling for Ryan', but we get to see more details and why they broke up.
I think Abbi unknowingly ruined me for anyone else from that first evening of meeting her. Hell, I’m pretty sure I fell in love with her the moment my eyes locked with hers that day.
-- Jax Parker
It turns out that Abigail (Abbi, Abs) Evans and Jackson (Jax) Parker have plenty of baggage beyond the opening events. It's painful and added to the heartbreak. Their reunion is definitely bittersweet, but I really like them together and am happy with the ending.
I read along with the audio book. The narrators, Alex Bates and Kelli Tager, are really good. The production has a few issues, including recording quality of Kelli's parts, but they mildly impact my ability to enjoy this. 🎧💙🎧

Abbi by Tracy Lorraine a thought provoking five-star read. This is the third book in the Angel series as Molly the first book comes with part one and two, Tracy Lorraine writes with such passion and grit that you can literary see the characters jumping off the page, I have finished the book and can’t wait to read the next book in the series Emma and I can’t wait to sink my teeth into it, I want to read it nearly as much as I want to sink my teeth into the hot boys of this series. This book does contain scenes of a sexual nature and is suitable for mature readers only.
Abbi tells the story of Abigail Evans and Jackson Parker; we have met both in the first two books and seen their story develop a little as she is Ryan’s big little sister and he is Molly’s first employee. This tells their story in much more detail. They were both madly in lust with each other when they first see each other and Abbi is told to pick up her chin when she sees Jax with no shirt on. Abbi has always loved a bad boy, even after a devastating relationship in her teens means that her family would never allow her to fall in love with one. That’s all she thinks Jax is when they first meet, and as she starts to develop proper feelings and realise he isn’t what she thought she runs from them, as she is to scarred of her past and her family not feeling the same way about him.
Jax isn’t the bad boy he looks, just because his body is covered in Ink, he wants to find a nice woman and settle down, he wants a woman to see past his ink and understand the reasons he has it. Will the blonde bombshell who keeps running away from him be the one to understand his past and help him conquer his own demons? Will they be able to work through their past’s and put them where they belong, and move on to a brighter and better future together? Will Ryan and Abbi’s mum Karen ever accept her children are getting older and moving on?

Abbi by Tracy Lorriane
Oh my goodness...Tracy Lorraine did it again, she made me cry. I don't know what it is with these characters.But Iam soooo happy she decided to write a story about Jax and Abbi.
I absolutely love this book… Another 5 stars from me!! I'm secretly in love with Jax too! He's another of my book boyfriends. Who doesn't love a bad boy with tattoos??
Abbi and Ryan have a past. But someone broke them apart. They continue to love one another, but surprisingly unbeknownst to the other person.
Abbi is hiding a very big secret from Ryan and everyone else. But one night the truth comes out. And everyone is absolutely shocked.
Can love truly conquer all? Will Jax and Abbi ever be able to move forward and see where things go ? Or will this secret break them once and for all?
Tracy Lorraine is another one of my new favorite authors. She has a way of sucking you into the book and making you forget about the world around you! I looooove those type of books and stories. It's nice to be able to forget about the world once in awhile.
I love how true and believable she makes these characters seems. With real and honest problems and issues…. Real life stuff!! It makes you love the characters even more!!
Another outstanding job… I truly can not wait to read another one of her books. I'm hoping she continues with this series and characters. I would love to see what happens next.

The other two books in this series can not even prepare you for this book. There is so much heartache and tragedy. I love Abbi's optimism when things just seem to crumble in her life. Then with the love of her brother, Molly and Jax she can overcome anything. Yet again, her mother is a piece of work. I am glad that Abbi didnt beat around the bush and told her off.
The turn of events when Abbi's mom send the note and box to Jax was so sweet. Maybe there is a possible turn around for Karen after all lol The relationship growth between Jax and Ryan has also been tremendous. They, well more so Ryan, is ready to murder Jax at more than one occasion and now they are like best friends.

This was a lovely little book after Falling for Ryan part 1 and 2.
Had me crying and laughing.
It might be little but it’s still definitely worth a read and follows straight on from part 2 of falling for Ryan
Plus you get to know more about Jax and his tattoos 🤭

This picks from Molly (bk.1), We get to meet Abbi and Jax. Abbi has always had a thing for bad boys , which never ended good and knew she needed to try something different but never really thought she could, but when she meets the bad boy tattoo look Jax she learned how looks can be deceiving. Jax is a romantic and he's drawn to Abbi but can he get her to let her defenses down?

Abbi (Angel #1.5) by Tracy Lorraine is about a girl by the name of Abbi who has had a bad history of dating men that really… aren’t that great for anyone unless you don’t mind your heart being broken. Abbi does try to date people who are nice and less likely to break her heart, but that doesn’t work out too well. When Abbi meets Jax, there was an instant attraction between the two though there are some troubles to be had. Abbi has some demons from when she was a teenager that she has to deal with, and it does pose a threat to the possibly blooming romance between Abbi and Jax. Jax hasn’t exactly had it easy himself, all he really wants is to be in a serious relationship with someone and have them love him as he loves them, something that he’s wanted as he’s grown up watching his own parents relationship bloom and become more in love with each other as the days pass. The problem with Jax is… he’s good looking. Normally when one thinks of good looking people they don’t think that there is a problem, more of the idea that “oh, their good looking they won’t have any trouble with getting someone” and usually that’s true… if you were looking for someone who only wants either a “friends with benefits” kind of thing or just wants to date someone to be able to “show them off” which is the complete opposite of what Jax is looking for. When he meets Abbi and as he and her get to know each other it is quite possible that she could be the one he’s been looking for. Someone who he can have a serious relationship with… Can Jax help her with her past? Can Abbi help Jax with his own problems? OR will everything fall apart before the relationship can even begin? Well… you’ll just have to read to find out.

To say I've been on pins and needles waiting for this story, is an understatement!! "Abbi" is released as a part of the "Angel Series". This is Abbi and Jax's story. I would highly recommend reading Molly Part 1 and 2 before reading this book. It gives a background on the series, and also features Abbi and Jax. Abbi is Ryan's little sister, and Jax works for Molly.
Abbi is a student in college working on getting her teaching degree. She decides to go visit her brother Ryan and his girlfriend Molly, where she meets Jax. Their attraction is almost instant and completely off the charts! They spend the entire visit just staring at each other, once everyone is sleeping, that’s when things really get going.
Abbi is fine just having fun with Jax, she knows that her Mother would not like him, so she does everything in her prove to make sure their paths never cross. She's falling in love with Jax, but wonders if it's enough to deal with the headache of him meeting her Mother. When the two finally do meet, its exactly how Abbi thought it would go, her Mother can't see how much the two of them care about each other. Her mother thinks that Jax isn't good for Abbi.
When drama unfolds will Jax be there for Abbi? Will Abbi stand up to her mother, and tell her how she feels about Jax? Can these two have a happy ending?
This story was very well written, and it flowed perfectly. I've been waiting for Abbi and Jax's characters to get their own story and I'm not disappointed!!

How do I tell you about this book without giving anything away? If you have read the other two book in this series then you know just how good they are, if you haven’t, go back and read them, you will thank me later. These are good easy quick reads that will get your pulse racing in more ways than one. Abbi, starts where we left off in Molly part 2, on the edge of our seat. This was a shorter story but it did not lack for suspense at all. If I had any nails left I would have bit them off reading this.
This book focuses on Jax and Abbi. They have to come to terms with how they feel about each other under immense pressure. This is an emotionally packed book since we deal with their pasts and come to understand some of the reasons they are who they are. My heart is warming to Karen too; she may just shock us all in the end. Not to give anything away but his speech is one of the best I have ever read, you’ll see.
I for once was not disappointed with this ending. I think it was perfect. Although, if I read it properly there is more up Tracy’s sleeve which is absolutely fine by me. I can read about this group of people anytime. This is a great series that will hit all the wants on your list, its sweet, hot, romantic, and even funny all at the same time. While this one deals with some heavy stuff it remained light and not too depressing and as always it will leave you wanting more.

Its hard for me to write a review, without giving away the secrets of this book. I should just say, READ IT!
Abbi is the third book in the Angel series by Tracy Lorraine. It is the follow up of Molly part 1 and 2, but it could be read independent of them, although I think the back story of Molly is worthwhile. It is the on again off again love story of Abbi and Jax. Abbi has a weakness for bad boys, and that is what Jax looks like, although underneath all those tattoos and muscles, he is a sweet, caring guy.
When Abbi was a teenager, she was in a bad relationship with a "bad boy" and it left her with some scars and fears. She has tried to avoid history repeating, and try to date nice guys, however, when she first lays eyes on Jax, she cant help but want him. He is the sexiest man she has seen, and lust at first sights leads them to quickly start dating. However, Abbi is afraid of what everyone will think, especially her mom, so she ends up pushing him away. This leads to their on again off again relationship.
Jax has a history of getting his heart broken by falling for the wrong girls. However, this time, he has fallen hard for Abbi. He cant get her off his mind, and their breaking up leaves him depressed. Since Jax is employeed by Molly, who is engaged to Ryan, Abbi's big brother, they have to see each other, even after broken up. Will they end up together, I cant say. You have to read and find out!

August 12, 2019Mixed feelings on this one. I was excited that they finally got together but upset at the fact that the just brushed off her miscarriage like it was nothing and all they could think about was sex. Wouldn't you think that's the last thing you would want or think about after just having a miscarriage??

Love love love! I was so excited to read the first installment of Abbi! It seemed that it picked up where the other series left off which made me a happy camper! I didn't want to loose the character interaction from the first series since it was being told from a different characters point of view.
Although there is some heartache in this book overall we all got what we wanted in the end which made me happy. Love is a rollercoaster and these two decided to put their past behind and jump on the bumpy road together. We also get a little back story of their lives before they met each other and why Abbi’s family was so hesitant with her new relationship. Each character proves that their has been an enormous amount of heartache in their young lives. It through it all they both survived.
With a wedding proposal and a beautiful ring I can't wait to see what book two has in store for this couple as well as the other characters we love!

4 Stars
Omg I am so happy to have finally read Abbi as I've been impatiently wait after that ending in Molly part 2. If you have not read Molly part 1 and 2 please go do so now and stop reading this review!!
So the ending of Molly 2 was without a doubt a scary way to end things! Abbi opens where we left of but it also shows scenes from Molly in Abbi and Jax's POV . It was insta -lust between them! But Abbi is scared to bring Jax around her mom due to her past and her moms grudge holding.
When Jax learns what is going on he never leaves Abbi's side and then gets the surprise of a lifetime when he goes to pick Abbi up from school.
I really liked this book it was short and sweet and just what I needed! I don't want to give anything away you've got to read this book.

There was aloud banging on the front door to Jax’s apartment, whoever it was he just wanted them to go. Tonight it was the engagement party of his best friends and here he was at home with a bottle of jack daniels as his friend. The banging continued and Jax heard Ryan yelling out to open the door. Finally and not to happy Jax opened the front door, Ryan told him to get dressed as he needed to take him to the hospital to be with Abbi. Jax in a panic got dressed and on the way there he wanted to know what was wrong and was told there was a lot of blood. Ryan told Jax Abbi had, had a miscarriage and she wanted him there with her. Pacing in the hospital it seemed a long time before Jax and Ryan were allowed in to see her. Once Ryan was happy his sister was going to be he left Jax there with her and took Molly home. Abbi was sleeping and Jax was not going to leave her there by herself and spent the night. Waking up in the night Abbi told Jax she was sorry about the baby, Jax held her and told her not to be sorry. The following day she was transferred to a ward where Jax once again did not leave her side. There was no way he was leaving her by herself. Both tired Jax lay on Abbi’s bed holding her close and they both fell asleep. Jax and Abbi were woken up by her mother shouting at Abbi for making t the same mistakes she had made a few years before. Abbi’s mother told Jax to leave so she could speak with her daughter; he left but stayed outside the closed curtains. Abbi’s mother was in a terrible fashion and Jax had taken all he could take. He went back into Abbi and told her mother he was not going to let anyone even her talk to Abbi in that way, and that he loved her. Abbi. Jax was not looking at Abbi when he heard her say if you can’t give your support you can leave. He thought why is she talking to me like that and was relieved when he looked at her that she was actually talking to her mother. Giving her a kiss on the forehead he told Abbi and her parents he wasn’t going anywhere.

ABBI
TRACY LORRAINE
5 STARS
It was lust at first sight when Abbi laid eyes on inches of perfect inked up skin last summer. She had a weakness for bad boys who were great at breaking her bed but even better at breaking her heart. She was trying to break the cycle and date the nice guys but they left something to be desired.
Abbi has spent her whole adult life dealing with the aftermath of an event that happened to her as a teenager. Will her inner demons be enough to put an end to her new relationship before it has really started?
She never could’ve imagined that this stranger’s bad boy appearances were just that and what was on the inside was the romantic and passionate man she had been looking for.
Jax wants nothing more than to settle down with a woman he loves. He has grown up watching his parents fall more and more in love everyday and all he wants is the same for himself. Unfortunately his looks have meant that he attracts the wrong type of women who don’t take his commitment seriously.
He unexpectedly meets a blonde bombshell at his friend’s house that instantly takes his breath away, could she be the one he has been waiting for and could she help him banish the ghosts of his past?
Abbi by Tracy Lorraine is a beautifully written story of love and hurt, and love again.
Abbi and Jax seem to be destined to be together despite some family members that are not 100% sold on this relationship, but no matter how much love is there life seems to have a way of knocking the wind out of you when you least expect it.
The characters are written beautifully in this book, you will feel like you know each and every one of them, you will laugh with them and definitely feel their pain and tears through the pages of this story.
Tracy Lorraine is one of my go to authors and this book definitely is one of my favorites and did not disappoint at all.!
I absolutely recommend this book and also ask the others in this series, you will not be disappointed!!!

Abbi (Angel #1.5)
By: Tracy Lorraine
5 out of 5 stars
The story Abbi (Angel #1.5) by Tracy Lorraine is a contemporary romance. This is Abbi and Jax’s story. When Abbi first laid eyes on Jax with that perfectly inked body last summer she knew it was lust at first sight. Her weakness for bad boys was showing through. She has spent her whole adult life dealing with the aftermath of an event that happened when she was a teenager. Would her relationship with Jax be any different than her others? Jax wants to settle down with a woman that he loves. He wants the same relationship that his parents have, one that keeps growing deeper every day. Normally he attracts the wrong type of women, the ones that don’t want to commit. Then he meets Abbi. Could this be the woman to change his world and banish the ghosts of his past?
This story is wonderful and amazing! It starts out with a serious situation and morphs from there to a wonderful romance. You switch from the present to memories from the past from both Abbi and Jax. I like when authors write like that as you get the full picture as to the characters and why they act as they do. These two both have events from their past that they are trying to still cope with and this affects their relationship. Abbi is a woman who has overcome so much pain that I am amazed at how strong she is. Jax is a man who’s put in the bad boy category but is anything but. They both have friends and family that have good intentions, however, they can be overprotective at times. Their lust, um, love for each other shows through loud and clear. This leads to plenty of hot, steamy, romantic scenes.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves a good romance with characters that are perfect for each other and have a love that burns brighter than the sun. There is adult language and situations which would make this a book for those 18 years and older.

**4.5 star review**
Abbi is the third book to be released as part of the ‘Angel’ series by Tracy Lorraine. It follows on from Molly Part 2 and is Abbi and Jax’s story. It should be read after Molly Part 1 and Molly Part 2 to fully understand the story-line. This new book may only be short compared to the previous 2 books but it is packed full of story and does not disappoint! It’s got romance, heart ache, joy and I loved it!
In the previous stories we see Abbi and Jax as secondary characters and I felt that this story more than answered the questions I had about their relationship and the uncertainty of it. It’s a mix of present time and flash backs where they both in turn remember poignant parts of their time together. I also liked that Molly and Ryan still popped up during this new instalment in the series.
A little bit about the story. For Abbi it was lust at first sight when she first laid eyes on Jax’s perfectly inked skin. She had a weakness for bad boys and she was trying to break the cycle by dating good guys who won’t break her heart but sadly they left something to be desired.
Jax desperately wants to settle down and find someone to love the way his parents love each other. Unfortunately Jax’s bad boy looks attract the wrong kind of women. That is until he unexpectedly meets a blond bombshell who instantly takes his breath away. Could Abbi be the one he is waiting for?
As with the previous 2 books in the series I found this one to be very well written, the story flowed well and there were no plot holes. The characters were great and I loved reading their story.
I give Abbi by Tracy Lorraine 4.5 stars.

Abbi by Tracy Lorraine is Jax and Abbi’s story. These two fell in love when they meet the first time at Ryan and Molly’s house. Abbi is very leery of guys with tattoos and Jax tries not to get close to people. Jax is in love with Abbi and tries to tell her that she is it for him. When her mother hears that she has been hanging out with another “bad boy with tattoos” she tries to break up with Jax to please her mother. Abbi is miserable without Jax in her life even though she tries to show her family that she is fine. When Molly rushes Abbi to the hospital and Ryan goes to get Jax, Jax has a panic attack because he is imagining the worse things possible. When Jax gets to the hospital to see Abbi and finds out what happened, he refuses to leave her alone. When her mother comes to the see her, she throws a fit a fit because she thinks Abbi is falling back into what she used to do. When Jax hears all the hurtful things Abbi’s mother is telling her, he steps back in and makes her leave. When Abbi gets released from the hospital, she goes home with Jax. After a night, full of talking about the past and what happened to each of them, they both finally admit that they love each other. When Abbi’s mother writes Jax a letter explaining that if he truly does love Abbi and isn’t out to hurt her, he needs to prove it in a grand way. When Jax proposes to Abbi, everyone is exited for them to have a happily ever after.
Tracy Lorraine is a terrific writer and isn’t afraid to write about topics that most try to avoid. When you pick up a novel by Lorraine, you know you are going to get a happy ever after and drama before it happens.

****4 stars****
Abbi (Angel 1.5) by Tracy Lorraine
Abbi by Tracy Lorraine is a novella that intertwines perfectly with Molly Part 1 and 2. The story follows Abbi and Jax and provides a background story for both of them that I was very curious about after reading about both of them in the first 2 books of the series. Abbi’s background story explains a little of why her mom is so awful and judgmental and allows readers to despise her a little less. Knowing more of Jax’s life just makes me love and adore his sexy tattooed self even more. This story was another instance of two people having undeniable love and passion between them, but having baggage and outside stressors that make them so cautious and scared to take a chance that they almost miss out on true love and happiness.
I give this story 4 stars. I am glad the author chose to explore the relationship between Jax and Abbi, but I almost felt like Part of the story was just copied and pasted from the other two prior books. I enjoyed the character development and seeing how things unfolded, but I guess I'm just spoiled by full length novels and could've just as easily read an Epilogue at the end of Molly Book #2 that covered the big stuff in this story. Of course I'm under the assumption that everyone will read both Molly books first and won't need what felt like a repeat of a lot of the story that i had already read. I also would've been open to the author expanding on the story until she had enough for a full novel. I still love all the characters and I'm definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.

4 out of 5 stars
The third book in Tracy Lorraine's Angel Series, Abbi 1.5, takes place in England, and tells the story of Abbi, a feisty, blonde, bombshell and Jax a sexy, tattooed bad boy.
After meeting for the first time at Abbi’s brother Ryan's house, Jax and Abbi both knew it was love at first sight.
But love isn't always easy...Can Jax and Abbi overcome both of their past and an overly opinionated mother, or will they save themselves the heartache and walk away?
“I’ve been waiting for you all my life, you make my heart beat faster when you are just in the room and make me feel like you have taken it with you when you leave.”
This is third book I've read by author Tracy Lorraine and I really enjoyed Abbi and Jax’s story! I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars because I really liked how the author filled in a few blanks from the first two books, while picking up right where Molly: Part 2 left off. My only complaint is that a couple times during the book, I felt like I was rereading some of the same scenes over again.
Overall Abbi 1.5 is another great love story by author Tracy Lorraine and I definitely recommend it.

Reading Molly and Ryan's story leaves you stuck in the middle of limbo, waiting to see what's going to happen next, even though they've gotten their happy ending.
At the end of Molly Part 2, we are left with Abbi in the middle of a miscarriage in Molly and Ryan's bathroom. Terrified and alone, we feel her pain and her secret pregnancy come to light.
Of course this miscarriage is an unfortunate means to an end, as sometimes it takes a tragedy to make us all realize what we truly love and need in our lives.
Once again we see the interfering Mum of the Evans family, asserting her unwarranted opinions into everyone else's lives, although even she seems to have grown and changed for the positive, as her reaction to learning of Abbi's relationship with Jax is quite different than when she learned Ryan and Molly were more than roommates.
While I think the story has an excellent premise and Ms Lorraine has a talent for portraying relatable characters, as a reader I was left wanting more. The story is a novella, but could be so much more and really lacks the conflict that the earlier Molly novels had. I wanted to see more of Abbi's struggle in coming around to realize she should be with Jax, and almost felt a little cheated when Mrs Evans gave in to Jax so much easier than she did with Molly.
Perhaps there is an Emma story coming along soon where this could be developed even more?

Abbi by Tracy Lorraine is a novella that comes after Molly part 1 and 2 and I am so happy that this book was written. In Molly; Abbi and Jax have a relationship that runs parallel to Molly and Ryan, and they have their own set of trials to overcome. Without giving too much away, they break up when Abbi keeps making excuses of why Jax cannot meet her mother. He is upset that she is not as secure in their relationship to stand up to her mother. When Abbi thinks that she is doing the right thing for Jax and lets him go, they both quickly realize how miserable they both are without the other. She has things she has to tell him and is scared that when he finds out he will hate her, but little does she know, but Jax has some heartbreaking stories to share as well. Sometimes this is not enough though. When tragedy strikes and they are forced together again, can they finally put the past behind them and is love enough?
At the end of book 1, I really wanted to know what happened between Abbi and Jax because they had a cliffhanger of an ending. I had a complete book hangover because you could see how much Jax and Abbi loved each other and I hurt for them and then came along Abbi, and this book put everything together beautifully and was a pleasure to read. I would recommend reading Molly first (to get the whole experience but this book could be read as a stand alone is there are amazing “flash backs” from both of them through the book.

Abbi (1.5) by Tracy Lorraine is part of the Angel Series. It follows on from Molly Part 2.
Abbi fell in love and fell in love hard with Jax, from the first moment she walked in the door she saw this tattoo god and knew she wanted him, for him to own her. She has spent a large part of her adult life dealing with actions from her past which still haunt her and make it hard for her to trust a man, especially one who is tattooed and as hot as Jax.
Jax has had a tough childhood but has a massive heart and with that he is scared to give it all, but when his blonde bombshell walking through the door he is rooted to the spot and mesmerised by this beauty, he must know who she is and let her consume his every breath.
Abbi is scared to introduce Jax to her mother so keeps him away. Feeling that Abbi is ashamed of him Jax walks. But can they both be without each other? Will they ever except the happiness they both bring to each other?
Tracy Lorraine has once again superseded herself with this book. It’s a shame that it is a novella as I would love to see more of these two characters. I think they have a lot about them that could be explored more, having said that I did love this book, full of, will they? Won’t they?? Moments that I loved. This series has now turned into a must-read series and I know that you won’t be disappointed. Can’t wait to read the rest of them as they are all great but Abbi and Jax are my favourite so far.

This book was an extra sweet and sad story. I am glad I took the time to read it because not everyone has a HEA. Though this one ends that way it didn’t start off as one. We get a fast pasted view into the life and relationship of Abbi and Jax. It was hot and fun. I liked that they both had secrets but it didn’t stop them from loving each other. I draw a blank on why they broke up but I probably need to reread it to make it clear.
I am a mother of two by birth and I love my kids though they drive me crazy. So I can not begin to imagine the pain of losing not one but two babies. I don’t think I would survive that. Abbi is a string woman and I give the author big props on how she handled that part.
The tragedies they both went through broke my heart. To lose a cousin who was more like a brother soon after you lost your uncle. My heart broke for Jackson. Then Abbi with her naivety. To be so young and go through her hardships it’s amazing she survived.
I still don’t like their mother that woman was bat ship crazy. I don’t care how she played it at the end the way she treated Jackson and Molly was unforgivable in my book. I know everyone has their own way of protecting their children, but she took it too far.
If you want a quick read that will make you sad and happy this is a good book for that.
