The Love in Chaos is the follow-up book to this author’s debut novel, The Beauty of Chaos (Jules and Mason’s story). I was intrigued enough by her debut novel to read this one. And I’m really glad I did! I wasn’t so sure about all the back and forth, love triangle drama in The Beauty of Chaos. That’s mostly a personal thing…I really hate love triangles. But I wanted to see how Jasper and Joey got to the point where they were at the end of her first book. And it wasn’t what I was thinking. I really liked the way the author used the flashbacks to give us the full understanding of both Jasper’s and Joey’s characters, and their relationship, that we didn’t get to see in Jules and Mason’s story.
NICUnurse’s Rating: I give this book 4 stars. Going back and writing a beginning to an already established plotline is not as easy as it sounds. Keeping timelines straight and keeping characters true to who they have already been established as isn’t easy, either. And Ms. Monroe got really brave and wrote the story in a non-linear fashion on top of it all. And she did a great job with it. I see a lot of talent in her writing, and I definitely look forward to seeing where this journey takes Liz Monroe!
The Love in Chaos is a beautiful love story. You will need tissues by the third page in! Jasper and Joey have known each other since they were kids. Best friends with Mason and Lucy, their lives are all intertwined in the sweetest and saddest of ways. This story will hit you in the feels and take you on an emotional ride that is well worth it! Just keep the tissues handy!!
I’m so happy we finally got this book and Liz Monroe let me read an ARC of this heartwarming, beautiful, love story. To have a chance in been part of one of my favorite gangs once more made my weekend. I have cried so many tears. Between the loss, sorrow and huge happiness and joy it’s been a rollercoaster of emotions. If you read The Beauty of Chaos you already know Mason, Juliet, Jasper and Joey and probably love them as much as I do. The Love in Chaos in centered more on Jasper and Joey’s journey of love. Don’t worry you get to have more of Mason and Juliet too. Plus some new additions that will steal your hearts.
Their love isn’t simple and without flaws but so many aren’t. Love sometimes is messy, complicated and CHAOTIC. Some of the best romances bloom from all that chaos to be the most beautiful and eternal loves. Their story, journey, ordeals and happiness felt like my own. Liz writing is unique and beautiful. She took my heart and squeezed it SO hard with every tear and pain each of them endure. Then, because she new we needed them to finally have the happiness and love they each deserve, she gave us the most wonderful and heartwarming finale. This is a book about family, friendships, growing up, finding yourself, healing of the heart, forgiveness and love.

Their connection is out of this world because more than friends, they are family.

A family that stick together through everything.
