After the Rain by Karen-Anne Stewart My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was such a great ending to the Rain trilogy. In the beginning of the series (Saving Rain), Raina is a bit more reserved, understandably, but by the end she had changed so much. Not her personality; she was still the sweet, kind, and caring woman as before, but her outlook on life. I loved that we were able to watch her grow as a person – stronger and more confident in herself – as well as watch her and Kas's relationship develop over the pages. Through the whole series, Kas had been dealing with his own internal conflicts over how to keep Raina safe without smothering her with his protective nature, and that struggle really shone through in this book. He made mistakes, but ultimately had to learn to trust her in the same way she had to learn to trust him. I think one of my favorite parts of this whole series was the Ghost, not him as a character, per se, but the way the author wrote him. In the first two...

Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire My rating: 3 of 5 stars I debated for a long time after this came out whether or not to read this, because it is basically a retelling of a story I really liked and I was afraid it would not be able to live up to the original. But, in the end I wanted to see if Travis's point of view lived up to Abby's telling. It didn't, and now I regret reading it because it actually takes away of how much I loved Beautiful Disaster. I didn't hate the book, but I didn't love it, either. Here's what worked for me: -I do like that the author was able to seemingly capture the male point of view. She did not pretty Travis's thoughts up, but rather made them crass, insensitive, and sexist. As far as characters went, I thought he was done well with that respect. -My favorite parts of the story were the scenes with Travis and Shep (and sometimes America). Those scenes are what saved the book for me. They went a long way in revea...
