Review
“If I took every romantic poem, every book, every song, and every movie I've ever read, heard or seen and extracted the breathtaking moments, somehow bottling them up, they would pale in comparison to this moment.
This moment is incomparable.”
I can't tell you how excited I was to get this book into my hands. You don't even understand how much I BUTTERFLYING ADORE WILL COOPER!! The quote above is from Page one, from there on I was crying, this is how much I connected to this beautiful story. Once again, Colleen has made me fall in love with Will and Layken and live their love story as if it were my own. Make sure you read this series, it's classic and you will not be disappointed! 5 stars!
“Wife,” I say, staring straight into her eyes. “Think what you want, but there isn’t a single woman in this whole damn universe that I could ever love like I love you.”
This Girl is Will Cooper's story, you get to see the past in Will's point of view, the present during his and Layken's honeymoon and at the very end we get to see into Will and Lake's future. Normally when I read a re-telling of a story from a different point of view I tend to get bored, but Colleen gave "This Girl" a whole new perspective, taking us back and forth from the past to the present. I loved every single second of living things from Will's prospective. We discover so many new things we didn't know....like Will's true feelings, secrets are revealed, and we learn of Will's relationship with Julia.
“Layken Cooper, I love you. I’ve loved you since the second I laid eyes on you and I haven’t stopped loving you for a second since.”
This Girl is just simply beautiful and left an impression on me that will last a lifetime. I laughed, I cried...happy and ugly tears. The writing was once again fresh and the poems were once again flawless and original. My sweet, getting to read about Will and Layken's honeymoon and the amazing Epilogue. My suck, that the series is over.
“You, baby girl. You’re my final piece.”
This Girl basically enriched the story for me and made me love this series and these characters even more than I already do. I didn't want this series to end, I'm not ready to let go of Will, Layken, and all the secondary characters but what a beautiful, incredible ending Colleen has given us! One of my favorite series of all time!
