Book Reviews of Now or Never
Book Review: Not the best of the three books
Summary: 2 Stars
The first two books in the trilogy (Sooner or Later, Waiting Games) are the best ones. In this book, Jessie comes across as an angry, much less sweet and innocent version of who she was before. She is definitely less endearing in "Now or Never". And Michael is so caught up in his recovery that he becomes self-pitying, boring and irritating. There is also quite a bit of foul language in the book, so some parents may not find it suitable for their teens to read it.
Book Review: Now Or Never - Don't just keep us hanging
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a big fan of the movie "Sooner or Later". I have had the movie since 2001. Now at a young 39 I watch it once in awhile just to remember my teen years. By the way, I saw it the first time when I was 14.I have recently purchased all three books and read them to cover to cover.
When I finished Now or Never. The first thing that came out of my mouth was " NO, THAT CAN'T BE THE END "
Please end the story of Michael and Jessie and let them live happily ever after.
Book Review: Now or Never
Summary: 5 Stars
I have just ordered the book through Auction and am excited about it. I had never heard of the 3rd in the series, but after reading the other review, I was convinced I should obtain and read right away. I laughed to myself as I, too, read the others in my teens and am now 31. Wish me luck!Book Review: Put a finish on it...
Summary: 4 Stars
The book end somewhat abruptly and we are left hanging on whether a fourth book will conclude the story. The Harts have yet to write this fourth book, so I am begging. Please put a finish on it!!!
The story picks up as Jessie is now about to graduate from high school and head off to college. Michael returns to town and turns her world upside down all over again. She's hurt and angry at him for just leaving her four years ago so he could pursue his dreams of being a rock star. Now he's back, and wants to know if they could be friends because he could really use some.
Jessie is torn, how could you just be friends with someone you loved with all your heart, who broke it by abandoning you without a word or a look back. This third book gets very gritty and is more realistic than the first two. Foul language is sprinkled throughout and it has a more adult context. I wouldn't exactly recommend it to younger readers.
We have a more grown up Jessie, whose fairy tale ideals of love have been crushed by Michael's abandonment. Don't expect her to be the naive, sweet teen of books one and two. Michael's also changed, he's more subdued, more unsure of himself. He lost his confidence and seems somewhat broken and piteable. It's a good read, but you will definitely want more when you reach the end.
I couldn't wait for the Harts to write a book four, so I wrote my own conclusion to their story.
Book Review: Too Wonderful to Forget!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just paid almost 60.00 dollars for this book, which is crazy because I had all three and gave them away to a used book store about 10 years ago(age 31 then). A friend of mine bought the movie on DVD for me for my 41st birthday and I have been in Rex Smith heaven since. I will never part with these books again. The movie and the books make you remember and feel 13 again. I'm just as gitty, as happy, and believing in love again, like I used too. We know we can't go back, but how wonderful it is to remember!! As far as another sequel, that would be nice, but to me it ended just right and I know in my heart the love they had, is better than its ever been before!!
