When Mikayla imagined her prom night, she envisioned a fairy-tale evening full of romance. So when betrayal and tragedy come in quick succession, Mikayla is completely destroyed. Suddenly, everything she loved and everyone she relied on are tragically, irrevocably gone.
Jake, a handsome boy she just met, happens to witness her loss. With no one to turn to, Mikayla is forced to depend on this … on this near stranger and his family, and he in turn is determined to take care of her. But Mikayla—thrust into adulthood with no one to guide her—is desperate to contain her grief and hide what she considers to be her weakness. Mikayla and Jake both want more, but despite their growing closeness and intense chemistry, she tries to keep her distance and protect her heart. As he does everything in his power to win her trust, Mikayla must choose between remaining alone and safe or letting love in.
Revised edition: This edition of More Than This includes editorial revisions.

This is my second read of More Than This, yet from the prologue I was pulled back into this world with the More Than gang completely oblivious to the world around me until I read the very last word.
There isn’t another author that can wreck my feels like Jay McLean. Mikayla had been through an unimaginable tragedy and her emotions flooded my …
On prom night of her senior year, Mikayla catches her boyfriend of the last four years cheating her with her best friend – for two years. Jake, unfortunately, witnesses the whole scene and as hard as it was to watch Mikayla crumble he picks her up and offers up his prom as an escape from her current reality. After an amazing night of fun and new …
What an incredible story. I loved every minute of Jake and Mikayla’s story. I mean I loved them from the minute they met and the instant bond they formed, it was like the universe knew Mikayla was going to need someone, and boy did she ever. This book is definitely an emotional roller coaster. You feel intense sadness for Mikayla but there is also …
This was my first read by this author. I was blown away and an instant fan! I now will buy anything she writes, I would probably buy her grocery list. Anyway, this book yall! This book shocked me, gave me all the feels, turned me upside down and inside out! And I loved every single word! I highly recommend this book!
I have been putting off the More Than series for a long time because all of Jay McLean’s books wreck me in the best possible way. I’m sorry I’ve put this book off for as long as I have because it’s absolutely amazing!!!! Kayla is hands down one of the strongest characters I have ever had the pleasure to read and Jake is so unbelievably perfect …
Love this it was my first from jay Mclean and not my last.
This is a ‘Great Love Story’! It’s not the traditional love story, but it will make you laugh hard and cry even harder. Jay McLean writes in a way that made me feel all that Kayla and Jake were feeling….just WOW. 🙂
The prom was supposed to be the best night of her life, Mikayla (Kayla) Jones spent her evening at home with her family getting …

I can’t even believe it took me so long to read this book! I marked it to read 6 years ago!! Kicking myself for waiting so long. This is incredible writing! Jay McLean is a master of her craft. This story is heartbreakingly beautiful. It is full of loss, love and healing. It gave me all the feels! In one night Mikayla discovers her …
My first read of this author and seriously kicking myself for waiting this long to read it! I loved this one from beginning until end, I couldn’t put it down! My heart was in my throat reading it; I had tears in my eyes. I just sobbed ‘cuz of what Mikayla was going through. I loved her relationship with Jake but also how she coped with everything …
WOW.
I more than love this book a lot! I read a few reviews before purchasing this, and there are a lot of good ones, but some of them were very scathing about a few things. And I see where they were going – and 18-19 year old who prior to the timeline in this story was well on his way to being Hugh Hefner? Hmmm. Not my usual cup of tea. …
(3-3.5 stars)
I have mixed feelings on how to rate this book and how heavy my feelings should way it down. I do want to be fair. I really enjoyed the story but there were some things that didn’t sit well with me. MORE THAN THIS started off so light and bubbly. I had no idea what horrors Mikayla was going to suffer. I loved how Jake and his family …
I recommend the whole series and not just the book. I felt like I knew all of them. Best storytelling ever. A MUST READ Book and series
I liked this story. It made my heart hurt, speed up and break all at once. The only thing I didn’t like was that there was a lot of build up and teasing then…nothing. I felt like I was on a sexual roller-coaster that went up and down and I just wanted to scream come on already ! I hung on because of Jake. But, the author sucked me in and now I …
Young adults read. Tragic but author did a great job in building realistic characters which were a little over the top but hey!! it’s fiction and easy to read.
