Oh my Gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!
(I’m trying to limit the amount of nasty things I say in this review. I promised myself I wouldn’t throw around words like @sshole, d!ckbag, tw@twaffle, or my new favorite dickless turd. All of which I threw at the author in justified rants while reading this book last night.)
If you thought you couldn’t possibly love AJ anymore, you are about to be swept away. If you thought that your heart could take what ever the author threw at it, quit while you think you are ahead. I spent 2 weeks avoiding this book. It’s funny because I did the same thing with book 2. The fear and uncertainty leave your stomach acid churning, your bruised heart skipping and stuttering, and your mind clutching to perceived notions. I “perceived” this book would gut me and leave me for the scavengers…I was right.
There’s no more AJ and Evan.
That one line in the blurb had me backpedaling as far away from this beautiful book as I could get- with my kindle still clutched in my hands. I may be masochist with my ugly cry reading selections but that one line had me paralyzed. Fear it was true and fear I wouldn’t know why. So I put my big girl panties on, grabbed tissues, and flipped the page.
I finished it hours later. I’m typing this and I still have the same issues. I look forward to The Dissolution of Unrequited while silently praying I have enough antacids to combat the fear plaguing my body. Because this hopeless romantic is dying for AJ’s, excuse me, Alex’s happy. She deserves only the best after everything and I’m afraid she won’t demand it for herself. Lost among the broken promises and lies, Alex needs to find her footing and stand her ground.
Whether that’s with Evan or Connecticut, well, I guess we shall see?

But I could totally introduce you to some ridiculously inappropriate acts of torture and new names for certain characters…if you need help,you know where to find me!!

Len Webster is either the Dr. Nefario (Despicable Me’s evil genius) of angst or the Vector (Despicable Me’s hopelessly lost villain) of love. I’m just kidding. I had to throw some shade her way after everything she’s put me through. No she is an incredibly talented weaver of stories, gifted of love, and magician with words. The meanings behind the titles for these books are so intense. They add an extra layer of rawness. A real descriptive “action” that is the theme for the entire book! It’s amazing and honestly I’m at a loss for words.
Yes,I’m going to read Dissolution. Yes, I will probably hide from it once it hits my kindle but we both know that won’t stop me from caving in. No because we both know anticipation is part of the charm.
Now that my tears have dried, my concern for AJ still fluttering in my stomach, I can say that this series is a journey I’m so grateful to have taken. Be there with me for the final words…
Reviewed for Sweet Spot Sisterhood
The Results of Unrequited by Len Webster is the third book in The Science of Unrequited series and I am once again struggling to catch my breath because this story has ripped my heart right out of my chest. The ache only seemed to intensify as I inhaled every phenomenally brilliant word. This story wholeheartedly captivated me whole body, mind, and soul. AJ and Evan have completely taken over my every thought and I am praying that they will one day get their happily ever after, but that certainly did not happen in this story.
While I absolutely love these two, they have frustrated me many times throughout and I wanted to scream time and time again because I wish they would both realize at the same time how truly meant to be they were. Then again, it wouldn’t be an angsty new adult romance without it. Oh and did I mention that I kind of love Connecticut aka Landon…he’s just so perfect, but at the same time I want him to find his own love interest and happily ever after…just not with AJ.
Len Webster has taking readers on a wild ride full of surprises and I can’t even begin to imagine what the final book in this series will hold, but I am ready to find out…let’s just hope my heart can handle it!
I didn’t want to read this story because I wanted my HEA with Evan and AJ…but I knew…I just knew Len Webster would put us through the wringer…and I wasn’t wrong. I absolutely loved reading it the way it was written…kinda knowing what was going on but not really knowing a darned thing…until the end…and of course…we are at the end…and it isn’t really the end. Confused yet? I thought I was…but I’m not…and I’m itching to get to the finale of their storyline. Do I want her with Landon? Yes! Do I want her with Evan? YES!! Will I get either? I just don’t know and I’ve got road signs that are leading me in several directions…which is what Len was going for I’m sure. This series takes us from sweet YA to a bit more New Adult in this book and I truly loved every minute of it.
The Results of Unrequited is clearly the best so far in The Science of Unrequited! OMG the angst. The longing. The missed opportunities. The hurt. The anger. All these emotions tied up in a bow called love and it’s anyone’s guess at this point just how AJ and Evan will handle it.
Again, we get past and present, with alternating POV’s as well. And again, I had to remember that both AJ and Evan and their friends and lovers were in their early 20’s when they frustrated the ever living crap out of me. I held my breath and waited for these two soulmates to cut through all the nonsense and finally realize just what they mean to one another.
It’s a complicated and lengthy venture to a semblance of friendship as their hearts continue to break at the actions of the other. But the experiences, the chance to be without the other was needed imo. AJ needed to find herself and I was happy Landon was there to help her sort through her feelings. It made me smile that she had finally moved on.
But knowing better and how AJ and Evan’s lives had never been drama-free, there is plenty of confrontation mixed with so many tears. I wasn’t sure how it would all turn out but am satisfied with the direction that the author has decided to take with respect to their crazy lives. I felt as if AJ and Evan both are beginning to turn a corner and are on their way to finally figuring out just exactly what they want.
Whether it’s together or not, I’ll just have to wait until early next year when this series gets its conclusion. But I have to say that this book kept me glued to my Kindle and I honestly could not put it down. The emotions, the gut-wrenching acts of betrayal killed me more than once but I’m ready to find out just how much AJ and Evan’s love can withstand as they navigate the future.
Well done and worthy of 5 solid stars!
You know those old-style angsty books you crave? The kind that you need to breathe into a paper bag, throw your kindle at the wall, curse the author’s name kinda book?! Every once in a blue moon, sadly so few and far between, do I get my hands on a book that has the angst I need to feed my craving.
Well, I won the motherload with this series. My. Poor. Heart.
Aching, hurting, pounding. Tears shed numerous times. And I loved it all!!!!
Len Webster had me hanging on every word. The Science of Unrequited has me hooked. I cannot stop thinking about this series. Alex and Evan. Alex and Landon. How does the heart decide?
Alex thought she had it all—the man of her dreams wrapped in a beautiful red bow. Then, BAM, the s*it hits the fan and everything she believed in blows up in flames. She slowly begins to put the pieces of her life back together when it’s shattered once again.
Told in the past and present, you learn so much more about Evan and the choices he made. Many of your questions will be answered, yet you’re left craving more.
The future is still uncertain. I predict the road ahead will be filled with bumps, twists, and turns that you don’t see coming. But God, I can’t wait for the conclusion to this series in The Results of Unrequited.
Best Series by far this year!
I couldn’t wait to get my hands on The Results of Unrequited and I can absolutely, without a doubt, tell you that this book did not disappoint!
I was itching to continue reading Alex (AJ) and Evan’s story, and I can tell you that my heart is still beating quite fast after finishing this marvelous book.
AJ for being a young girl has already gone through so much heartbreak in her life, but what I loved about her is that she always managed to pick herself back up and continue on with her life. As much as both Evan and Landon have loved her and cherished her, they managed to also break her heart.
Evan has left AJ high and dry with no explanation, rhyme or reason and that left AJ completely brokenhearted. She has loved Evan for as long as she can remember and when he finally confessed to her that he loved her too, she thought everything was going to be good between them, but that wasn’t the case. When AJ finds out that Evan has a girlfriend, that completely tore her apart. She then decided that it was time for her to move on and stop hoping for the impossible.
The good thing is that when Alex returns to Duke, Landon is there waiting. He is a patient guy who is willing to wait for AJ for as long as it takes. He was a gem and he was perfect for her. He treated her like a queen and was always at her disposal, until he also broke her heart.
We get so many feels and emotions with this book. Always sitting at the edge of my seat trying to figure out all the why’s and how’s. But we definitely get our answers at the end of the book and that left me even more confused as to who I want Alex to stay with in the end. I loved both Evan and Landon and this is going to be such a tough decision for her to make in the end because she loves them both.
Either way, I am going to be a broken mess myself once this series is over.
Len Webster has done a PHENOMENAL job so far with this series and I am almost crying because I have to wait until early 2019 to get the fourth book in this series.
“Her unrequited love. The love that was poison. The boy who was arsenic to her soul.”
Seriously? This best friends to lovers series is slowly killing me with each book where AJ and Evan aren’t together. The Result of Unrequited takes us on AJ’s journey, after the road trip, after it looked like that they finally got their happy end. Oh dear was I wrong about that. Len Webster mastered the art of spinning a fairy tale about best friends becoming lovers and their rocky journey helps them grow. They are growing with each heart break, preparing them for being the very one person the other deserves and needs.
“Alexandra Louise Parker loved Evan Gilmore more than he ever loved her. She had given him everything … and he had given her nothing with his silence.”
Seeing the way Evan is treating AJ is horrible and heartbreaking. AJ loves Evan so carefree and deeply and it seems that Evan isn’t capable of loving AJ the same way. Or so I thought. This book proved me wrong, but not until the very end. So be prepared for a roller coaster of emotions that will make you feel sick.
“Have you ever truly understood the way she looks at you? She only ever looks at the sun that way. And we all know the sun is her favorite star.”
The back and forth in time is the part that holds the angst. You’ll never get the full picture until the end. Reading those chapters makes your heart ache, it makes you smile, scream, tearing one’s hair and at the same time it makes you happy. Because there are great moments of happiness in there. Moments that AJ deserves so much but gets way too little of those.
“He stopped being my best friend the moment I started falling in love with him.”
AJ and Evan feel so right even though their journey is more than rocky. However AJ and Landon feel also right. Landon is everything to AJ that Even could never be. So yes deciding between Team Evan and Team Landon is very though and I’m really glad I’m not in AJ’s shoes…
“Because love isn’t asking someone to give up on their dreams. Love is supporting another’s dreams.”
The Result of Unrequited is another great book in a series that definitely grew on me. Even though I have less hair than when starting the book, I enjoyed reading every page!
This third installment of best-friend to lover ran us all through the wringer again. As we’ve watched this couple navigate around and apart from one another I didn’t think there would be any avenue’s back. But that’s were I was wrong. So much angst and drama going on throughout this story. And then adding Landon to the mix just had my head moving back and forth like watching a tennis match. Who do you choose, or who will choose you? We do not get one single a tiny morsel of reprieve until the very end of this installment and we’re still left wondering how this couple will fare. At least we see both AJ and Evan’s maturity and growth while they are apart and hope that all of this heartache was worth it in the end. I hope to find out soon.
Angsty, swoony, heart-breaking, and heart-filling. The Results of Unrequited is proof that sometimes doing the right thing means letting go and hurting the one you love the most. But therein lies the problem…how do you let go of oxygen?
“We were a failed hypothesis. A failed theory where a solution was a null void. Our experiment did not have the conclusive evidence to save us.”
Every time I read the next book of The Science of Unrequited by Len Webster, I always feel like my heart has been hit so hard by a truck. I feel that pain. I feel the pieces of my heart breaking. Every time AJ & Evan continue to leave bruises to my soul. They continue to butcher every part of me. I love every single book in The Science of Unrequited. Even thought my heart breaks, the series absolutely means so much to me. I feel a connection in the beautiful and soulful story. I feel the soul of the characters that hold a dear place in my heart. I feel the heart entrancing writing that captured me from beginning to end. Each book is absolutely spending. But The Results of Unrequited is by my far my favourite. It is funny because this book ripped apart my soul but left a special scar in my heart. Every emotion was laid bare. Every feeling touched me. Every word played a slow and upending tune inside me. The Results of Unrequited resonated me.
The Results of Unrequited is the angsty third book in The Science of Unrequited series. A moving story of broken friendship and fractured love. A soul rending story of pain and hurt. The Results of Unrequited destroyed me. I ugly cried till my stomach hurt. I felt every single emotion till it cut until I bleed. Heart Crushing. Heart Opening. Gut Wrenching. The Results of Unrequited is an incredibly written story of love lost and lost friendship to give a powerful new adult romance that takes you on a brutal journey. I commend Len Webster for giving so much of her emotion and so soul to this amazing story. The writing is exquisite with shards of words that cut me open. Len Webster just knows how to write with feeling. You become trapped in the highs and lows of emotions. The Results of Unrequited are messy. The Results of Unrequited are painful. The Results of Unrequited are soul bleeding. The Results of Unrequited are intense. The Results of Unrequited are heartfelt moments of love that echo and crack inside you. The Results are an experience of blinding hurt.
OMG, AJ & Evan really want to crush my heart. These two have faced so much together to split open your heart. These characters have become so close to me. Like best friends to me. I just want to root for them. I just want their happiness. I will be here sitting it my corner hoping for my happy ending in The Dissolution of Unrequited.
As I write this review, I am a bit teary eyed because The Results of Unrequited trampled on my heart. If you love YA/NA, give The Science of Unrequited a try. You will not regret it all. Trust me.
This is book three in this very emotional series and you really need to read books one and two first. The dramatic, angst filled heartbreaking journey continues as more of AJ and Evan’s story unfolds. This friends-to-lovers romance really puts your heart through the wringer with its many turns and twists. Reading this series is sometimes sweet, sometimes sad, often frustrating and always very entertaining.
Len Webster knows how to kill in very low painful instalments.
This series is seriously the angst on the sleeve, this back and forward going to give me a heart attack!
They are soul mates, should be natural right? Wrong, so wrong, why suffering so much my gosh.
I still have my reservations with Landon.
I’m heartbroken, and can’t wait for the grand finale, and I bet it will be epic!
5 Amazing Epic Stars!
The Results of Unrequited is by far the best book in this series yet. It’s far more emotional and heartbreaking than the first two books. I loved every second of it.
When I first read the blurb for The Results of Unrequited I couldn’t believe it – no more AJ and Evan . I was a little bit scared to read it and as soon as I started I couldn’t put it down anymore. The story of AJ and Evan just breaks my heart. AJ, Evan and even Landon stole my heart. I loved the whole book. It has all the FEELS!
As Alex’s story continues I fell even more in love with her. She’s such a strong and dedicated person. And now that there’s no more AJ and Evan everything gets even more emotional. But not just Alex, also Landon and Evan stole my heart immediately. It’s very hard to decide which team to vote for #teamEvan, #teamLandon or #teamAJ? No matter how their story ends this book is everything I could have ever imagined. It’s beautifully written, an emotional and heartfelt story with a passionate and powerful message. A real masterpiece and I can’t wait to read the last book in the series, The Dissolution of Unrequited.
I’m gonna be honest, I didn’t really want to read this book after I read the blurb. My head was all set with hearing AJ and Evan’s happily ever after. So when I got a chance to read the blurb I stopped. My brain didn’t want to acknowledge what I was reading. I didn’t want to read this book. But I stopped and told myself that I needed to. And as much as every word pained me, I’m glad I did. The first part of the book was rough. It was all from Alex’s perspective. She flipped from the present to the past, how she is doing now and what she went through after we left off in the last book. She’s now in a relationship with Landon, and as much as the guy is great and all I just never took to him. It wasn’t until we got about 50% into the book when we finally hear from Evan and I felt like I could breath a little more. Boy did I want to smack Evan though. He broke AJ! Is it possible that these two friends can find their way back to each other? I mean, seriously if there is one thing I know about this series is that there is NO just AJ and just Evan. There is AJ AND Evan or there is nothing. Landon is the wild card in this whole thing and I have to say he frustrated me. I’m definitely not a fan of his, but I will give him a chance to redeem himself in my eyes. I’m just sad that I have to wait some more to find out what Alex does and how she decides, especially after that ending. I will say, that no matter what I want Alex to do Alex. She needs that and she deserves that! Looking forward to the final book in this series!!!!
Sometimes we have to break our own hearts to realize the importance of what’s real. That’s the story of AJ and Evan. Through friendship, heartache and betrayal these two soulmates struggled to find their place in each other’s lives. Webster takes readers through the confusion of young love to the adult pain of unrequited romance. With brutal honesty she crafts a coming of age series that nixes the fairytale while inspiring the soul.
With every book in this series the author hurts my heart more every teaser I’ve seen has increased my apprehension for Evan and AJ.
It’s no secret that something has happened (It’s in the blurb) and they are no more but what and who has come between them. I never thought it was possible to hate either of them but I did, there are two scenes in particular that crushed me. I hate everything that keeps them apart because they need each other to breathe.
Prepare yourself because it’s a bumpy ride , the angst is at maximum level. I swooned and I cried however one thing that can never be denied is their love for each other and my love for their story.
GAH!! Len Webster what are you doing to me!! First I’m rooting for Aldon (yes, I’m mashing up names and it will all make sense soon, I promise) then I’m rooting for Ajan only to find myself torn and ultimately I find myself rooting for just Alex. At the end of the day she doesn’t need anyone in her life to make her happy. What she needs to focus on science, which is what started her on this journey in the first place. How often do women give up their dreams to make men happy? Probably more than we realize, but to see someone happy, to make someone happy isn’t it worth it?
What would you give up for love? What would love give up for you?
Len Webster writes this series in a way that has you enthralled from start to finish. The Results of Unrequited was another emotional journey where I was pulled constantly from Team Landon to Team Evan to just plain Team Alexandria. Although now that I’m finished I am swaying towards one team vs another, yet emotionally I’m still wrecked over the entire journey I was just on. GAH!!
Alexandria/Alex/AJ begins the book very happy with her boyfriend Landon Carmichael-wait, what?
“So long as he continued to love, treat her right, and respect her, he would be the last guy she ever loved. Because Landon Carmichael was her everything.”
The Solution to Unrequited ended with AJ and Evan together, so back the truck up.
“No one could ever love you the way I could, Alexandrea, Yes, I realized it too late, but what I do know is that no one understands you, loves you, and wants more for you than I do. I’m your soul mate just as you’re mine.” – Evan Gilmore
Well, that is the soul crushing beauty of how Len Webster writes. You get the now and rewind to the then happenings until bit by bit the pieces fall into place of how Alex’s life slowly unravel before you while also crushing your heart. (sobbing) The writing is truly spectacular.
Massachusetts and Connecticut are blissfully happy, which is great, but you find out how Evan and AJ fell apart to make that happen. At the same time the present continues to unfold and eventually Alex has to come to terms with the choices she made. Love doesn’t always wait for your future. Love doesn’t always like your dreams. What hypotothis can solve unrequited when love doesn’t listen? Alex has given up dreams before to love a boy unrequitedly, is she willing to do it again? When will she be worthy to risk everything for and love enough in return?
“Because that was what she learned from unrequited. That only she could save herself.” – Alex Parker
If you don’t like cliffhangers, then prepare for the series to continue with another book after this one, The Dissolution of Unrequited.
AJ & Evan are determined to break my heart. Every single book they hurt me. Every time it’s a bit more than the last. I want to reach into the pages and throttle these two characters. I adore them both for very different reasons and I get mad at them both for very different reasons. Then you add in Conneticut and my heart just doesn’t even know what it wants!!! Dammit.
I thought this book would give me the HEA I desperately need this couple to have but it DID NOT!!! I don’t even know how I feel right now. I have faith the author is going to resolve their story in the best possible way. Will it be the way I want? I truly don’t know? Will I be reading book 4 – you bet your ass I will.
This is some of the best NA angst I’ve ever read. The tummy butterflies, the chest clenching pain – it’s got it all in spades. If you’re a fan of these type of books start this series today. I need more people to send ranty PMs to….
