I liked it, but I didn’t love it. It’s probably my least favorite in the series.
Brie constantly switches back and forth from a strong ‘tigress’ to a damsel in distress. It was a little annoying.
And sweet Ren has completely changed into some hardened alpha male that will do anything for Brie. He drops most of his college courses to be there for Brie. For me, Ren is nothing special. Just a rich kid mooching off his parents.
I had to force myself to like the characters. The parts I loved involved Baylee, War, and Gabe.
I wonder how long this series is going to be. The ending already sets up another book, which sounds interesting. I love K. Webster’s stories and I think she’s a fabulous writer. But I’m having a hard time loving this series after Baylee and War. Maybe I just love them too much.
It’s dark
It’s twisted
Yet, I’m crying so hard for Ren and Brie for the their love manage to shine in the dark.
I love every second of this book, of this long road series.
The tangle Twist of these characters are amazing. Twisted as they may, a brilliant author could pull them all and sew it into amazing unthinkable story
It can’t get better or more twisted, K knocks you upside the head with a baseball bat! Wowza! This continuing saga is phenomenal! And I love the little bits of dark humor (Toto’s fave stuffed animal)! The multiple POV’s is fantastic and how K is able to do this is amazing! Do yourself a favor and read anything by this author!
If you’ve read this series, or any of K Webster’s books, you know that she’s twisted. I had no idea how much until I read this line….
Tacos with ranch dressing.
What kind of messed up horror show is this! Seriously, someone needs to take her depraved mind out back and force feed them to her. That’s a whole new kind of evil. It must be dark romance if people are eating ranch tacos. A new circle of Dante’s Inferno perhaps…With all the killers, psychos, and people who take without permission in this series, you think I’d be able to handle it but no. Tacos made me gag. Not sure how Calder would react since he has his daddy’s stomach.
Reading this series back to back makes it easier to spot things you might not normally. Larry the cucumber made me snort laugh and choke since I was eating at the time. Saucy little quips and out right hilarious conversations about/with Calder had me cracking up regularly. I mean Beiber seriously!!!
This Is Me, Baby is a second chance book. Second chance for everything. Life isn’t fair and no one knows that more than this seriously f-ed up crew. Love isn’t always kind. Death isn’t always merciful. And family…don’t even get them started on that…
I find with each new addition to the series a bigger piece of my obviously messed up heart falls for some (not all, sorry Hannah) of these people. People you hated are tolerated and dare say even loved. This family is pure in its own messed up way.
Though I may still question what K Webster does in her free time, whether it’s trying out new torture techniques or quilting, I am very grateful she shares the fruits of her writing time with us. Because only in her wild and crazy world do War and Peace coexist with utter chaos, several psychos, and baggage bigger than the Titanic.
And since I’m venting, Ren is mine…Calder too FYI. I don’t even know his story and if we will get it, but he’s mine too. He’s hot and can cook. Plus who else can rock a Blue’s Clues beanie. Just saying….
This book is crazy good!!!! I took my time to make sure I absorbed every word and I wasn’t disappointed!! By 7% I was crying and it just kept getting better from there!! I love a book that puts me through all my emotions and this book certainly does that!! I cried, I laughed out loud, and I held my breathe wondering what else would come out of the shadows at Brie and would she recover after all the heartache she had been through? And where would Ren fit in in all that? All of my questions were answered, BUT then I developed new ones because there is yet another book called This Isn’t Fair, Baby. And I, for one am thrilled the ride isn’t over!! So I am definitely recommending this book along with the complete series (which you should have read already). Hell, you’ve come this far, why would you stop now?!! Now I will bide my time until the next book, which will crawl by I’m sure… Enjoy!!
Wow, this book was like riding a steamroller of emotional proportions. I mean I have been looking forward to Ren and his story, but I did not expect the things I was given.
Ren, is honestly one of the best and strongest men I’ve read in so long. All he wants to do is love, protect, and cherish Brie against everything and everyone. He’s willing to love her even if she cant love him back..
Brie, is wow I don’t know if I can get into words how strong and amazing her character is. She hurts so much for all the lose she’s had in her young little life. But she fights back always.
She does have this thing for waiting to tell the people she loves how she truly feels, though.
I love these two together and all the fighting and wrongs they’ve gone through to end up right next to each other ALWAYS! But I love that she still shows her love for Duvan no matter what. <3
5 crazy , Drunk stars ,cuz I needed a bottle of wine to steady my pulse .
Wow ! I’m stunned . Like a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire struck me !
Like Negan…nvm ! The story leaves you crying non stop and shocked out of your senses.
Gabriella Rojas -The Tigress is alone and helpless . We all know what Evil Kristi did to the Tiger *glares at her * .
So poor Tigress is with her Daddy the Cucumber Crazed Gabe . He vows to protect his baby girl, while taking care of Psycho Harley Quinn Doppelganger-Hannah AND trying to look for Esteban and Oscar…
I think I’m going to develop a fucking ulcer from all this stress.
Well …Chickens coming home to Roost Asshole !!!
The cycle started when Hannah killed Brie’S Mom and Gabe ran away with her, so ….Bend over for the Frozen Cucumbers ,Gabe *glares at him *
Here in this story we see a great transformation and character development of Ren Mcpherson. He’s all grown up, mature and still loves Brie with all his heart . He magnanimously accepts her in her in current broken state too
Duvan was always the better man when it came to the two of us in Brie’s eyes, but I never once wished him dead. Because his death meant the death of her heart. And her heart has always been my focus.This poor woman is broken and slayed. She’s bleeding uncontrollably from a wound in her heart.
“He made you happy. How could I hate him for that?”
What a fantastic Human being he is . Bravo Kristi * smiles at her *
There are a whole lot of characters trying to stabilize the broken pulse of Brie’s Life. War , Baylee, Gabe, psycho Hannah , Oscar, And Daddy Diego * flutters eyelashes at him * .
I’m so infected by Kristi’s brand of Krazy. Diego turns me on !! * lusts at him *
Brie is very strong, very resilient and very protective
“You’ve always been strong and resilient. Like a dandelion in a hurricane. The wind rips away parts of you, but you’re still left standing after the storm. Sure, you’re weathered and changed, but you’re still there.”
She laughs.
“This is me, baby. A hairless dandelion.”
Well the Tigress has definitely earned her stripes.
The story is trademark Kristi. Very twisted, messed up, violent but there’s a whole tub full of tears too. My heart broke in several pieces , I cried a lot , I nearly stopped breathing at a couple of scenes. But now that I’m a veteran of Kristi’s Kraziness, I opened a big bottle of wine along with * sends the bill to her *
Her books are a constant source of Joy, Angst, Mindfuckery , Heart attacks and Alcoholism
PSA-I love Kristi but not right now . I’m hungover !
K has done it again OMG I was put through the ringer with this book. So many emotions while reading.
This book starts right where book 4 left us.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this series, I am sure these books get better and better each book.
poor Brie she is Broken after losing Duvan… Can Ren fix her ..
“I’m so lost,” she murmurs against my chest. “I’m drifting. No home. No future. No anything. I don’t even know who I am anymore.”
I loved Gabe in this one I really hated him at first but you can’t help but love how much he loves his family and what he will do for them..
The Party ( will not say but you will laugh) I laughed at it, as it fits Gabe and Hanna to a T.
Bring on the next one I really can not get enough of this series.
