The Left Side Of Perfect – Release Day – August 30
For better or for worse,'til death do us part . . .
The better captured me; she's who stole my heart.
And made me realize I couldn’t live without this woman.
The worse of her took my breath away--kicked me when I was down and twisted me into a million knots.
When I first met her, I thought she was someone I would never see again.
The second time I ran into her, it was a random coincidence.
The third?
I didn’t know it at the time, but she was the girl I was going to marry.
But life isn’t always perfect. You have to take the better and the worse--even if it means giving her up, having her slip between your fingers, and letting her walk away.
I’m getting married.
This is forever, 'til death do us part.
Review:
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
“To me, there is a left and right side of perfect. The right side of perfect is what society deems worthy of the title. It’s the kind of perfect you believe doesn’t exist, but in others’ eyes, it does. And then there is the left side of perfect, my favorite kind. That’s the kind of soul-bearing perfect, full of flaws and shortcomings. It’s the most beautiful side of perfect . . . the imperfect.”
^The quote above is perfect and it gave me an understanding of this book's title.
I haven't sworn this much while reading a book since I can remember. And I cannot express myself as I want to because every single thing is considered a spoiler. The blurb doesn't even mention the dude's name so practically I have to speak about persons A,B and C. No names. Of course, we know that the dude is, at least the people who are familiar with the Blue Line Duet. We see a couple of familiar characters again and see how they are doing in their lives.
When I reached chapter 2 and saw the point of view chance to person B, I immediately switched to the second book and read the first few sentences which made me question whether or not I should get invested in the series or not or simply throw my phone on a wall and the last chapter because I needed to know what was going to happen in order to not root for the wrong people. After the Blue Line Duet, I was expecting everything and nothing. I couldn't get my hopes up and then have them ruined again.
I might have hated the book under different circumstances, but I just can't. I am not a fan of love triangles, but I couldn't dislike this story. Heck, I couldn't dislike anyone in the story. Person B and C were both amazing in their own ways and if there was a chance for a triad, I would say go for it. Unfortunately, this book/series is about two people and one of them has to go. I liked person C. I could see myself hanging with it and as a permanent person in the gang. I wasn't sure about person B though. It was difficult to understand its feelings and I was more confused than it was. It wasn't ready to admit the truth and when it finally did, in the last chapter of the book I wanted to once again throw my phone on the wall. The book ended on a sad and cliffy note and it's fortunate that the conclusion of the story will be released tomorrow. As for person A the jury is still out.

The Right Side Of Forever – Release Day August 31
In sickness and in health, to love and to cherish . . .
It sounds so simple, to love someone unconditionally.
To give them your heart.
So why is she slowly eating away at my soul with every unanswered phone call, every unread text, and every door left unopened?
She said yes, and yet, in order for her to be with me . . . I need to let her go.
Review:
So, here we go again with people A, B, and C. Only this time, we also have another person aka D. I think D suits that person because I can think of one or two D words that would describe it. You can say that the love triangle evolved and became a love square. Person A is with person B and person C is not handling things well. So C decides to find consolation in D's arms, which sucked for 100 different reasons. For one, it threw away all the development person C had/wanted to have. I could understand a date or two, but D's behavior ruined the book and even more C's acceptance of it. I kind of understood person's C need for sex or something that would make it feel better, but that wasn't worthy of everything else. That meant that I spend half the book cursing my need to finish the story. That also brings me to a realization I had. When I read the first quarter of this book, I thought, this person's personality finally matches the one it had in my mind for it and explained why I was expecting different things from it in the first part of the duet.
Everything good in this book happened after chapter 16 and I would have loved it if we got to see more of it because it wasn't enough. After I read that chapter I felt more free and light, even if the characters went through some rough patches. And there was a ton of character development, that was for the best. I do wonder what happened to the part of the triangle that was left out and I wouldn't mind reading its story. In my mind, we have another situation that's similar to another duet by this author and I would be very happy to see it happening. I might have mixed feelings for the book atm, but I know that one or two months from now I will look back and know that I like the duet and almost all of the characters in it. Except for D. That person can go and die in my book.
Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped. Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking. Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze! Facebook | Follow on Goodreads | Website | Amazon Author Page | Instagram | Follow on BookBub
