Un libro bastante innecesario, la verdad. Yo lo disfruto porque soy yo, pero no le veo el sentido .

Wattpad story. Just wanted to see if the published version was any different. Gave it 4 stars only because its one of my fav wattpad stories.
Cole and Tessa have my heart.

The Bad Boy's Forever is the 3rd book in the series. So, you must read the first two books to understand the storyline. They are Bad Boy's Girl and Bad Boy's Heart. Tessa and Cole's relationship plays out when college is over, and they move away from each other. Tessa lives in New York City while Cole is a lawyer in Chicago. Every one of these characters is relatable. Once you start this book, you will not be able to put it down. I read it so quickly and still wanted more. I will probably reread the whole series and pray that they make it into a movie or television series. I very much enjoyed this series, and I've heard rumblings of another book coming out. I hope this is true! I love how good a girl, Tessa, and bad boy, Cole, navigate life and make it work. It melts my heart.

I love the first book in this series…and don’t mind the second book much either…but this third book just wasn’t it! I flew through the first two books and expected to do the same with this one but just couldn’t do it. I felt as though I was reading a combination of books 1 and 2 combined but drawn out..and then the last 3 chapters gave a complete whirlwind random plot line that I felt came out of left field.

I also am so upset with the way that Tessa and Cassandra’s relationship ended up going.

I feel as though this series could have benefited from just being the first book and leaving the rest up for the imagination. I will still always cherish the series as Colessa is a big part of my heart. However, I just feel as though things could have and should have been done differently. This book also opened my eyes to just how toxic of a relationship Tessa and Cole actually have! 😳🤣

A lot of times, when a book is in a series, a true series, they can be read as standalones (and that really is my favorite kind of series). Alas, this book is not one of those and is more what would be described as a serial, dependant on the previous books for you to understand what is going on. This is written as if there is a joke going on, and the reader is not in on it. There are endless situations and characters that are named or present, that mean nothing to me because I wasn't a part of this journey from the start.

Tessa is the description of someone that is too young for their own good. She lets Alex dictate their relationship, and while I know from the blurb, they do last well past these awkward stages of fake-breakup, I couldn't muster the energy to get there. I'm not sure that even if I had read the first two books, I could have put up with such a weak main character for that long. It's just not YA done right.
