Ruined. I am ruined. I don’t know how many times I can say this before the whole world finally believes me, but Jay McLean has some mad writing skills. Every time I finish one of her books, I sit and slowly feel the book hangover come over me. It’s ridiculous. I freaking love all her books. More Than Him was definitely different from MTHer. But also the same. Logan and Amanda are imperfectly perfect. See how everything I've said is contradictory? It's because Jay's books throw me all over the place.
“All that we had, every moment we shared, it meant everything to me. Everything you felt, I felt it, too. It was the hardest hing to do, to walk away from you, from us, but I had to do it, because you deserve so much more. And I hope you see that.”
MTHim wraps up Logan and Amanda's story, but in no way was I ready for it to end. It’s not as angsty as MTHer was, thank goodness for that or I would have killed someone (meaning Jay. And Logan). MTHim picks up a few weeks after Logan left us heart-broken with that god-awful, cliffy ending. Logan is physically gone, but Amanda is gone in every aspect but physically. It’s heart-breaking, and it was hard to watch her go through the motions of life without really living. We watch her slowly pick up the pieces as time goes by.
“I don’t just love you. It’s like the word I want to use hasn’t been invented yet. Maybe it’s because no one’s ever felt this type of love before. Maybe I’m the first to feel it. I don’t know. I can’t explain it. But those words—I love you—they just don’t seem like enough. Not anymore.”
Then one year later, Logan is back. Dun, dun, dun. And we get to figure out what he was up to the past year. The story starts alternating POVs as soon as they lock eyes again. I really don’t know what I expected to happen, but it was even more emotional than I thought it would be. I don’t want to spoil what happens, however, just know that there is no way to prepare yourself for it. MTHim is more than just a love story. It is a story about healing and moving on. It's learning to accept love and learning to let go. It's a story about finding yourself, and then giving yourself to another person. Even without the angst that we saw in MTHer, I was still clutching my heart.
“People might have hated the choice we made or be upset we didn’t do it properly. But she was my person. Nothing else mattered. Not back then. Now everything matters.”
The thing I enjoyed most on this journey with Logan and Amanda was watching them grow up together. By the end of MTHim, they’re completely different people than when we first met them in MTHer. Logan was never really a self-centered, douchebag, but we see him grow into his skin more. He’s been shaken by his past returning, but we see him finally put his demons in the past. Where they belong. He and Amanda overcome their monsters. Together. Amanda also did a lot of maturing in these two books. Her ability to be strong for herself and Logan always amazed me.
“I couldn’t tell you why he let me in, or what it was about me, or about us, that led him to believe that it was okay for us to fall in love the way we did. The kind of insanely deep, destructive love. Destructive. That’s exactly what we were.”
I think the main issue for them wasn’t whether or not they still loved each other after all that happened to them. They’re only human, they get scared. Love can be scary, and their worst nightmare happened. So, the question isn’t whether or not their love is able to overcome all that, but if Logan and Amanda are ready to let their love take control. If they’re ready to let themselves be happy again. With each other. They understand each other like no one else does. They’re such a perfect fit for each other. With every turn of the page I watched them fall deeper in love, and I also fell more in love with them.
“I don’t think anything, or anyone, is ever going to keep me away from you. I love you way too much. You’re my heart, my world, my light.”
So, if you haven’t figured out yet. The More series is one of my favorite series ever. I absolutely can’t wait for Jay’s next book. There’s The Road and then More Than Forever, Cam and Lucy’s book! Oh yeah, I loved catching up with the crew again in this book. Through thick and thin, they’re always there for each other. Even when each couple is having their own issues, they can always fall back on each other. I will be sad to see the More series end one day. It can’t. I need them. Every word makes me emotional. How does that even happen?
“This chain hold all my dreams.”
“Yeah? You hold all of mine.”
