ARC Review: P.S. I'm Still Yours by Eliah Greenwood

 

I have loved the Easton High series by Eliah Greenwood, so I was really excited to get a book set in this world. P.S. I’m Still Yours is a complete standalone, though if you’ve read the Easton High series, you’ll recognize some names and characters. This story features Kane and Hadley, childhood friends turned strangers.

After finding his career in trouble, Kane returns to the beach house he once vacationed at as a child where his mother has invited her best friend and her daughter to stay for the summer. But Hadley is no longer the girl he grew up with and after he once left her broken-hearted without a goodbye, things between them are cold at best. Hadley knows that there was once something between her and Kane, but after him ghosting her and then showing up on the worst day of her life like nothing happened, anything between them is long gone. Will he find a way to win her over and salvage any kind of relationship with her or will too much have happened to forgive?

For me, I was interested in Kane and Hadley and could feel the obvious connection and chemistry between them. My issue here was that when all was revealed, I could not forgive Kane for things he had done and been a party too, no matter his age or reasoning behind his actions. I know he was young and he was sorry and knew he messed up and tried to make it right. I saw his heartbreak and the emotions he felt, and they felt genuine, but I just don’t know how I’d be able to move on from that and I honestly feel like if it were me in Hadley’s place, I wouldn’t be able to get past it, even though there was love there. I know a lot of people will probably feel differently or be able to forgive and move forward, but I just wish that Kane hadn’t been a part of what he was at all. It just made loving this one impossible for me.

I have loved Eliah’s books previously and encourage readers to give this one a shot if it sounds like something you might like. Just because I couldn’t forgive and forget with Kane doesn’t mean others won’t enjoy this one.

ARC Review: Dear Heart, I Miss You by Eliah Greenwood

Dear Heart, I Miss You is the continuation of Finn and Dia’s story, so if you haven’t already read Dear Heart, I Hate You, you’ll need to start there. I also highly recommend reading Dear Love, I Hate You, the first book in the series. Xavier and Aveena are great and I think it really sets up this series, plus it’s just a fantastic book!

This series has become one of my favorites, as has Eliah Greenwood. Her talent for writing just seems to get better with each new book I read from her, and this one was no exception. After the cliffhanger we were left with in the previous book, I was anxious for more. While reading this book, I understood exactly why things played out the way they did, because it was meant to be that way. 

Finn and Dia had so much more to learn and both had to grow up. Seeing their journeys is something I’ll never forget. Each of them had their strengths and their vulnerabilities and they both felt so real and genuine. It was as if I was right there experiencing everything with them. My heart both broke and soared for each of them at times, and I felt so connected to them. 

This book was intense at times, and definitely had me feeling all the emotions. That said, it was absolutely perfect and I truly feel this one went exactly the way it should have. It was well worth the wait, and I’ll never get over Finn and Dia! I highly recommend this one, and already can’t wait to see what Eliah Greenwood writes next!

ARC Review: Dear Heart, I Hate You by Eliah Greenwood

 

I have been waiting for Finn and Dia’s story since I first met them in Eliah Greenwood’s book, Dear Love, I Hate You. I absolutely loved the first book in the Easton High series and while it was a great book that I highly recommend you read, you don’t have to read it to understand this book. I highly recommend it though!! I have to say that while I loved Xavier and Aveena from book 1, Finn and Dia are EVERYTHING!

Finn and Dia go through so much here and honestly they had me hooked from the very first page. These two have so much more to each of them than you might realize at first glance, and they really went through a lot. While I know most people aren’t a fan of cliffhangers (myself included), this story honestly needs more than one book. I can see why Eliah had to split their story up. Seeing these two go from where they started to where this book ended, I can’t imagine it any other way, and Eliah is a brilliant writer. 

Finn and Dia had me feeling all the emotions. Their story isn’t easy and it wrecked me emotionally in the best way possible. I don’t typically cry much when I read, but I did here. I felt so connected to these two and honestly my heart broke for each of them. I can’t wait to get more of them, and Eliah has promised we won’t have to wait long. I just know I’m going to fall even more in love with Finn and Dia in the next book and I can’t recommend this one enough! Dear Heart, I Hate You is one of the best books I've read this year, and Eliah Greenwood has quickly become a favorite author of mine! This one is a must read!! Even if you wait until book 2 is out to read this, I highly recommend picking this one up now, you won’t regret it!
