5++ STARS TO THIS SERIES!!!!
My heart is broken. It's literally broken. I don't even know how to explain the feelings and emotions that this series has brought out in me. I never stopped crying! Seriously, I don't mean just a few tears here and there...I mean the full on ugly cry. These tears were both happy and sad tears, but I wouldn't change a thing. Janine Infante-Bosco just went up on my FAVORITE AUTHOR'S LIST with these stories.
Now.... as for Fitting the Pieces.... Janine you did it again!!! I LOVED IT! Finally, I was able to read about Luke! Since the beginning, I wanted Luke to get his happily ever after. He deserved one! He is hot as hell, and a hard working single father who needs the love of a good women, but doesn't think he does. Luke has always been the sibling that fixes things when it came to Jake and Sam. He took everyone's problems and carried them as his own.....
"Promise me, I need to hear you say it, Luke."
Luke swallowed. "I promise I'll take care of Cara, you don't have to worry about her."
"I could always count on you."
"I could always count on you."
Luke is not only there for his siblings, but he is also there for Cara when she needs him the most. Cara is going through a rough time. When she realizes she has fallen too far, and is now an addict, she turns to Luke to help her fix her life and move on......
"I don't want to fix her because she's broken."He said with his own voice sounding a bit broken. "I want to help her because loosing her too isn't an option."
Through Cara's journey of getting better and starting her new beginning, Luke and Cara become close and build a friendship stronger then what they already had. Together, they get through the twist and turns that come their way, and Luke becomes someone that Cara finds herself leaning on more and more.
I still love Sam and Nick. I loved that they were once again in this book. They are seriously the cutest couple. Nick is too funny. He is constantly trying to agree with whatever Sam wants or says. He has always tried to get to know what she wants, or needs, without being told. What better way to figure out how to read a women's mind then to read the one and only "50 Shades of Grey".....
"So you and I can have a night out. Before you say no, hear me out. I have been up to my ears in flower arrangements, favors, invitations, and whatever the fuck else consists of a wedding. I need some man time. Between the wedding, the house and the romance novels I'm not even sure I'm still allowed to piss in the men's room."
"You read the damn book."
HaHa...I loved all the times that Luke and Nick talked about the book! It was priceless. I also loved the little text that Sam and Nick would send when trying to work on a mission together...
Nick: I'm in! Operation Your Brother Is A Jerk in full effect!
Sam: Cara just got here. Good Luck, eye on the prize.
Nick:Remind me of the prize again.
Sam: Me....naked.
Nick:Visuals would help. Just saying a picture would probably keep me focused.
They go back and forth and it's so cute. Of course, I still love Joe and Deb as well. Their relationship is too much, in a good way! One of my favorite set of parents in a book! I did enjoy the little history about their relationship towards the end of the book as well.
One thing that I really enjoyed about the whole series was...no matter who's book it was...all the characters were involved and their POV would be narrated throughout the book. This gave you a little bit of everyone in all the books. I can seriously go on and on about this book...about the whole series! All I can say is...if you have not read it yet...you NEED to! The stories of the characters lives will forever live with you. This is not one of those series that you read and can't remember after a few months. It will be hard to forget Luke, Jake, Sam, Nick and Cara. I am so sad that it has come to an end. I loved the way everything came together, and we got to see where everyone ended up. I would definitely rate the Series as a whole more then 5 stars. 5 just doesn't do it justice! I don't think I can say it any better than Janine.....
"It is with a very humble heart that I say farewell to the Lanza family. The Riverdale Series will always hold a special place in my heart."
