clap, clap, clap Brava [a:Tarryn Fisher 5410816 Tarryn Fisher https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1336086252p2/5410816.jpg]Starting with [b:The Opportunist 13312527 The Opportunist (Love Me with Lies, #1) Tarryn Fisher https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1374526831s/13312527.jpg 18518411] she set out to tell a telenovela worthy story of imperfect, nay, deeply flawed and at times infuriating people and she didn't blink once.This is the third and final book in the series and the one I liked the most. Perhaps it's because our POV is from Caleb, the heretofore perfect man, who is revealed to be as f**ed up as Olivia or Leah and perversely that made me love him. He sins by omission and commission. marrying while being in love with someone else, staying and working through said marriage while in love with someone else, not getting a paternity test when Leah dropped her bomb and waiting over a year to see Estella We also get some of the events in the two prior books from his POV, thus clarifying many situations but it is not a retread of the other books. There is a lot forward momentum and many things happen in this book. You won't be bored but beware of whiplash and hold on tight. These people, mainly Olivia and Caleb, make poor decisions as I'm sure many of us do in our lives and did during our younger years and boy do they pay! Sometimes I thought: wow that was too much Estella's accident but in reality life can be a colossal F-You sometimes.There is a happy ending but it is tinged bittersweet like all of the best and true love stories. To quote those great poets of love, The Rolling Stones:You can't always get what you wantBut if you try sometimes you might findYou get what you needSpecial mention to [a:Alex Bloch 2195022 Alex Bloch https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] for a fantastic narration, with one caveat: I know Noah is Jewish but I don't remember if he is meant to be born abroad, he's done with a kind of accent??? All in all a great series if you're in the mood for unpredictable but quite believable characters and events and most of all lots and lots of emotion. Because that's the core of this book. Not sex. Emotions. Emotions that keep people tethered to each other through time and geographical distance.ps. I'd also like to know more about Seth
