I'm pretty happy I did read this. I didn't I was going to but I did and I liked it. What I didn't like was the fact that Keatyn was just all over the place with emotions. Well I guess I can't judge I was just like her. But damn make up your mind. I get it she's afraid that if she tells all her friends they will hate her b/c the trust is broken but if I was one of her friends I wouldn't hate her. I would understand. That's why it's called friend. If they get mad and leave then they were never real friends anyway.

How much do I love the Keatyn Chronicles? Well, I was supposed to be getting ready to go out. A 5-star hotel overlooking the beach, night with friends drinking and having a good time, but instead I sat my ass on the couch and read the book. I finally break away for 5 minutes, to change clothes and throw hair in a ponytail. And make my husband drive so I can risk nausea, from reading while being in the car, just so I can finish. Bottom line is, nothing could break me away from this book. And there's a reason for that. I love Keatyn. I love her more and more as she matures and this story, although a novella, was so important to the entire series. It was romantic, angsty and fun. I don't want to share with you the story or the surprises but just know, it was fabulous.

Ugh....Just ugh! This sucks. I am so in love with Aiden!!! I hate that this was so short! Luckily I only have to wait a month until the next one, which is part of the reason I am glad that I didn't read it back in November when it came out. A month is going to kill me, so I can't even imagine waiting FIVE months for the book. And I definitely loved the four-leaf clover quote. <3

Outstanding. Wonderful. Fun. UN-PUT-DOWNABLE. (Yeah, that last one probably isn't a word, but too bad!)


Now for the task of writing a spoiler-free review... it's so unfair because all I want to do is squee, OMG, WTF, and gush with someone --- ANYONE --- else!! If you've read the iTunes sample, I'm sure you're dying to know what's next. I know I was! After that "TEASER", I felt like this:



A Thanksgiving break novella. Keatyn is going to St. Croix. Alone. What eventful things could happen??



Believe me, I know it sucks that I'm giving nothing away, but in the end you'll be thankful. I found myself feeling a range of emotions over the course of Adore Me. At times, I even teared up which is rare for me. Some were the happy kind. Others were the "OMG that's so sweet" kind. More still were the sad ones. Keatyn. Oh, Keatyn. I love that girl but sometimes I just want to smack her pretty little head and knock some sense into her! I understand what she THINKS she needs to do. I wish she'd realize what we WANT her to do. It would be so much easier on my heart.

I wanted to share some of my highlighted quotes with everyone, but I'm afraid they'll give parts away and I can't do that to Jillian or future readers this early. Just know that Jillian has in no way let anyone down. If anything, she has yet again outdone herself. This book left me craving more. I want to jump inside these books and live in Keatyn's world! Is that too much to ask??

Adore Me was even better than I expected. I find myself repeating myself in every review I do for this series, but I risk it again in order to speak the truth.

ADORE ME IS BY FAR THE BEST BOOK (so far) IN THE KEATYN CHRONICLES SERIES. I flew through it and will DEFINITELY read it again before Hate Me releases. There are some surprising moments and I just know this is going to knock the fans for a loop!
Get ready for a whirlwind ride in St. Croix! And just an FYI, read this BEFORE the holiday because you will not spend any time with your family until you hit those tantalizing words, "The End". And as is the case with the others in the series, you'll be left hanging and wanting more.

Jillian Dodd knocked this out of the proverbial ballpark and I. NEED. MORE!


I'll see you all in the KC Addicts group once this releases to OMGWTFSQUEEEEEEEEE discuss with you all!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Jillian Dodd is a freaking genius. Whenever I read her books, I find it literally IMPOSSIBLE to stop.

This book made me feel so FULL. Full of love, life, hope, and sadness. So much sadness. Keatyn's emotions make her practically a basket case at this point, and I'm right there with her.

Aiden is the best. That's all I can say. I believe in him, and I believe in them. In their love. They so have to be "endgame." No matter what Keatyn tries to do, it has to be the two of them, always, only, and forever. I've never been feeling Keats and Brooklyn, so fingers crossed on that regard in the future.

This book was so sweet. It was definitely the calm before the storm, and about repairing what was broken. I loved how Damian was brought back into the story. I loved learning more about their shared history. Sometimes, truth blends in with fiction though (particularly with the lies), which is worrisome. What's going to happen when it all comes tumbling down? I hope, from the bottom of my heart, that Keatyn can get through it (with Aiden by her side, natch!!!)

It was sweet, but i really hope that keatyn would get over her stupid 'love' with brooklyn and just take aiden instead. Duh.

emotional medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? N/A
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.5

Overall, it's a good mid series, calm before the storm, book. It is sad though and I don't like how the whole time Keatyn is planning on leaving everyone. It makes it a slightly less enjoyable read compared to the other books. I love the introduction to Damian and Peyton's relationship though. They're really cute.

The book was too cheesy for me. In the 5 short days of this story someone cries or tries to fight back tears 34 TIMES!! Oh and the way the teenagers drink wine like 40 year olds!! It would be more realistic if they played a drinking game with the wine every time someone cried!
