Publisher's Summary:

A random hook-up isn't enough for Trystan, not anymore. After everything Trystan went through to tell Mari that he loves her, there is no way that he's letting her walk away without knowing how he really feels. Every mask is stripped away making Trystan completely vulnerable. Mari's the one girl he wants, that he knew he'd never have. But, the look on Mari's face-the way she kissed him-makes Trystan think that confessing his feelings was worth the risk. Shocked, Mari stands there staring at Trystan. As if it weren't enough that Trystan is internet super star, Day Jones, but the song he wrote was about her. That was her name on the music. It was her name etched into his heart. Trystan Scott loves her. Everything Mari wants is within reach. She just has to have enough guts to reach out and take it.

Still going strong...

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars -- AHHHHHH!!!! SON OF A *****! Another cliffhanger. The books in this series are getting better and better. This one was fabulous. Not only did you get some happiness with Mari and Trystan, but so much happened in such a small book. And that ending. GAH! I need the next book, and I sincerely hope there aren't many more, b/c I need closure now now NOW! Anyways, yeah. I really liked that they both have abusive situations at home...I think so many people, including those in the situations, downplay mental/emotional abuse...and Mari is no different. It's kind of nice to see that being addressed. OK, I am somewhat disappointed that I read these now not knowing the series wasn't complete, but I will get over it....someday....I need to start finding *completed* series....

ON REREAD: 4 stars -- I wasn't quite as enamoured as last time apparently. I LOVED that we got to see Mari and Trystan come together, but I was disappointed in the Brie stuff...it felt kind of weird. But I'm still really enjoying watching the two of them navigate their relationship, and holy wow did things escalate at the end!

Loving this young adult series!

I'm definitely hooked! Your really find out what a piece of s**t Trystan's father is in this story and just how physically abusive he is to Trystan. Trystan is the popular guy in school and feels like he has this image to uphold even though his life is falling down around him. Trystan and Mari keep their relationship secret. Also in this story Trystan and Mari form a tighter bond and discover that they're home lives really aren't that different from each other - Trystan is physically abused by his father while Mari's parents verbally abuse her and steal her self-worth. There is still a secret that Trystan is keeping from everyone except Mari and by revealing this secret to the world, it could change his life dramatically. Story is too short - boo - and also ends in a major cliffy!

Mari finally knows that Tristan is in love with her

3.5 stars rounded up to 4

Finally, things are starting to pick up! Mari finally knows that Tristan is in love with her, and (spoiler) she finally admits that she loves him, too. This leads to a book that is much more enjoyable to read than the previous two. The back and forth is gone, and we get to see their relationship start to develop.

There are still some issues to deal with, though.
