The Results of Unrequited by Len Webster
4.0
"Her unrequited love. The love that was poison. The boy who was arsenic to her soul."
Seriously? This best friends to lovers series is slowly killing me with each book where AJ and Evan aren't together. The Result of Unrequited takes us on AJ's journey, after the road trip, after it looked like that they finally got their happy end. Oh dear was I wrong about that. Len Webster mastered the art of spinning a fairy tale about best friends becoming lovers and their rocky journey helps them grow. They are growing with each heart break, preparing them for being the very one person the other deserves and needs.
"Alexandra Louise Parker loved Evan Gilmore more than he ever loved her. She had given him everything ... and he had given her nothing with his silence."
Seeing the way Evan is treating AJ is horrible and heartbreaking. AJ loves Evan so carefree and deeply and it seems that Evan isn't capable of loving AJ the same way. Or so I thought. This book proved me wrong, but not until the very end. So be prepared for a roller coaster of emotions that will make you feel sick.
"Have you ever truly understood the way she looks at you? She only ever looks at the sun that way. And we all know the sun is her favorite star."
The back and forth in time is the part that holds the angst. You'll never get the full picture until the end. Reading those chapters makes your heart ache, it makes you smile, scream, tearing one's hair and at the same time it makes you happy. Because there are great moments of happiness in there. Moments that AJ deserves so much but gets way too little of those.
"He stopped being my best friend the moment I started falling in love with him."
AJ and Evan feel so right even though their journey is more than rocky. However AJ and Landon feel also right. Landon is everything to AJ that Even could never be. So yes deciding between Team Evan and Team Landon is very though and I'm really glad I'm not in AJ's shoes...
"Because love isn't asking someone to give up on their dreams. Love is supporting another's dreams."
The Result of Unrequited is another great book in a series that definitely grew on me. Even though I have less hair than when starting the book, I enjoyed reading every page!
