3.0

I really loved the previous book, so I was looking forward to this one.
Unfortunately I didn't. The beginning and the ending I liked, everything in between was just bad. I thought Jasper was extremely

toxic (the whole thing with him driving to Vegas out of nothing and coming back expecting Eloise to be home; him talking bs about her parents; ...).

I really hope that Crimson River will be better for me.

The ‘I could listen to them talk forever’ trope has my heart in its clutches and I am SO OKAY WITH THAT. I love Eloise and Jasper. What a match.

Jasper Vale, the book, is beautiful. It lives and breathes “underneath the pretty colours is a really ugly horse”. It doesn’t sugarcoat anything, but instead explores the wonder of finding the good in the bad, moving on from hurt and trauma, and learning how to love and believe in yourself.

Eloise and Jasper grew up so differently, both in worlds that should have been ‘perfect’ and yet were not. They came together in their imperfections to teach each other how to live for themselves and I just adored watching them grow.

Devney Perry had me going in the middle there. I was really starting to question my love of Jasper and, even though I understood some of his behaviour, I was getting ridiculously frustrated with him. His journey, most of all, was wonderful to read. To see him accept Eloise’s love and, ultimately, the love of a family was worth every hair I wanted to pull out.

I thought about this book non-stop when I wasn’t reading it. I loved it. It’s beautiful. With that being said, there are some very dark themes in this book and I implore you to check your trigger warnings before reading. Some happy endings come with a pinch of salt, and this was definitely one of those.

ladies and gentlemen, jasper vale has officially claimed the top spot on the hottest book boyfriend chart this week !!!

this book got me in my feels and i realized marriage by accident / convenience might be one of my favorite tropes. every time jasper refers to eloise as "my wife" i went crazy. when he calls her "angel" i went crazy. when he visited her at work just to let her know he's going somewhere and kisses her forehead before leaving I WENT CRAZY. all i can say is i fell in love with jasper at first "eight. count again." that line is iconic the man knows what he's doing!! i also notice that this series has a plot pattern lol at certain percentage i know something dramatic would happen, but overall i loved this book and their a-frame cabin <3

Jasper and Eloise are definitely contenders for my favorite Eden couple! Their banter and genuine respect for one another is so sweet! I thought the book was so well done and I can't wait to read glimpses of them in the last two books. My one issue was the unnecessary weird relationship with the ex. He definitely only needed the parents for the plot line to work.

She was supposed to erase the past. She was supposed to be a beautiful picture over an ugly drawing.

I was afraid that I’d miss him for the rest of my life.

How many people had told Jasper they loved him? Not enough.
