Review: Reverse

 


Title: Reverse

Series: Bittersweet Symphony Duet

Author: Kate Stewart

Release Date: July 19



Thirty years ago, my father became the other half of a broken love story. 


A relationship he’s kept hidden for decades.


Upon unearthing his secret through a series of emails in our paper’s archives, I began my search for the truth. Haunted by my father’s love story, and in my quest for answers, I never imagined I would discover a love of my own. Or that my love for Easton Crowne would be key in discovering the reason behind what split our parents up.


Doomed from the start and knowing the havoc our relationship would inevitably wreak on our families, I could never have prepared for the toll it would take or the cost of the truth.


But in order to find our ending, we had to go back to their beginning.


My name is Natalie Butler, and this is my star-crossed love story.




*you MUST read Drive before reading Reverse to best understand this story and all these characters & the emotion throughout it.

I just finished reading Reverse- the length of this book considerably longer, hundreds of pages packed with angst, history, love and heartbreak.
It made me cry- tears flowing freely as I read the love sorry between Easton and Natalie. This book sent me on a emotional rollercoaster, punching me in the feels, but gripping me by the throat, and I couldn't look away. It was hypnotizing, and gripping, and heart shattering.
The love story was bigger than just Natalie and Easton, and to best understand they needed to go back to the start.
And that's what happened when Natalie was emersed in the past- into the love story between her father Nate and Easton's mother Stella, even though their story didn't end together, Natalie is on a mission to find out why, and what happened. And that spark lead her to meet Easton... And their angst filled romance, the modern day Romeo and Juliet- with a love greater than themselves, but stilted by circumstance, will it survive the test of time, or will their romance implode taking every one with them?
God, this book. I'm at a loss for words. It made me feel, every last thing. The angst, the push and pull, the allure and the love. My heart went through the ringer, and I'm battered and bruised but enjoyed every single second of it.
I fell in love all over again, with the characters and the story and felt every damn emotion. If you haven't got your heart ran over by one of Kate's brilliant books yet, you are missing out. I have no idea how to convey everything this book made me feel into words, but it is one that will stick with me, embedded into my very being. Kate may have had a ton to live up to, this being the sequel to Drive- but she delivered, this book is more. More love, more heartbreak, more angst and more drama. And more music, Reverse was extraordinary, standing and shining on its own while shedding light on it's predecessor - the story exceeding and surpassing any expectations or doubts, landing among the stars & will live in infamy - a timeless tale of love, loss, and what could have been. 5 supernova ⭐ out of 5⭐. 3🌶️ out of 5🌶️.

Weekly Newsletter: February 2

  Hope everyone has a good couple weeks. I know it says weekly Newsletter & I know I have been taking two weeks each time to put out one 😂😂 I *want* it to be every week, but January is just super crazy over here. - but we'll see once things settle down some if it will stay every other week or if I switch to every week or not 😂😂.  This week, I got my preorder of Onyx Storm in (bday present), and we did my daughter's 10th bday party- she did bowling & invited a ton of friends! She also had a field trip to go skiing earlier in the week too which she liked.  Also here are the vibes I bring to the function but truthfully I probably won't go to the function - I am an introvert & don't people very well 😂😂 but it was a fun challenge to do on IG & TT either way. Do we share anything in common?  What I Read This Week:  Title: Onyx Storm  Series: The Empyrean  Author: Rebecca Yarros Review | Goodreads | Purchase Quote: “I am yours and you ...

  So this past weekend my aunt passed away.  But on a more positive note, this was my daughter's last week of school. She had half days all week and now she is home for summer break until after Labor Day in September.  And I finished up two books. We started rewatching Dexter, and watching season two of Perfect Match.  What I Read This Week:  Title: Leather & Lark Series: The Ruinous Love trilogy Author: Brynne Weaver   Release Date: June 04 So I love these characters, but this story had a lot of fluff, and at the end felt a little rushed. 4⭐ out of 5⭐.  See Full Review Here .  Title: Lights Out  Author: Navessa Allen   Rereleases August 06, 2024  I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It was fun, and sexy and a great, quick read. 4.5 ⭐ out of 5⭐.  See Full Review Here What I Watched This Week:  What I Listened To This Week:  Weekly Meme:    Recent Releases  | Upcoming Releases  |  Freebies Title:...

Weekly Newsletter - June 13

  As my daughter's school year is winding down, they are trying to cram more things in it - from chorus concerts, to a play, to fun days, and field trips and parties... So it's been a bit hectic.  Also, last Thursday went to run errands before my daughter's chorus concert, & to grab Leather & Lark from Walmart (live in a small town. Walmart is the only place to buy books locally). And they were completely sold out 😭 So I ordered it online (Amazon "2 day shipping" still takes a week 😒). Plus I got a book last week - only UPS left it in a puddle. 😭 We were all home. Could have knocked or even honked or SOMETHING - but no. So also waiting on the replacement for that was well.  Also, I tried to convince my husband we needed to go to B&N in NYC (which is like 7 hours south of us give or take 😂😂) to meet Brynne Weaver to no success.  Annnddd... I tried the challenge of getting my husband to buy my wishlist for me for likes on social media... He wouldn...
