The Certainty Of Violet And Luke (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Great conclusion to a nail-biting series!The Certainty of Violet & Luke is the third and final installment by New York Times best-selling author, Jessica Sorensen, in the Violet and Luke saga. The book seamlessly picks up where The Probability of Violet & Luke left off, and barrels toward a satisfying end as it ties up all the loose ends from the series. To say Violet Hayes is having a rough time would be the understatement of the year. Her stalker, Preston, is still out on the loose, Luke's mother is still missing, she's struggling in school, the press is hounding her day and night and her parents' murders are still unsolved. The only constant in her life is her budding relationship with Luke Price, and even that has its own issues. Luke is struggling, too. He's trying to battle his alcohol and gambling addictions on his own, working to build a relationship with his absentee father, and trying to keep a watchful eye on Violet - all while trying to keep his grades up and retain his spot on the football team. But, even with all of the external drama, the real question is if Violet can get past her demons and build a future for herself. Can she learn that she deserves more than what she's had in the past, and that not all things that scare her - like Luke's affection for her - are bad? And will Violet and Hayes discover just what role destiny plays in their lives, or will they find they have a lot more control in what happens to them than they realized? Read The Certainty of Violet & Luke to find out!Ms. Sorensen expertly concludes the Violet & Luke series, wrapping up Violet and Luke's stories with a tidy bow. Her language is concise, her plot lines are well developed and focused, and the number of errors is dramatically reduced compared to previous installments. A great read and worth the time to finally see how Violet and Luke's stories end. The Certainty of Violet and Luke by Jessica Sorensen tore at my heart strings but was amazingly perfect at the same time. Violet and Luke were my favorite characters from Jessica Sorensen's The Coincidence Series and I was happy to see them get the closure on the past that they both so desperately needed and to move toward a happily ever after that they both seemingly deserved. "Violet has never been the kind of girl that likes to be owned by anyone. She's always strong-willed and independent, and this is part of the reason why I fell in love with her."Violet and Luke's story picks up right where the last left off, with Preston on the run from the cops and Luke's mother being named as the person who was involved with her parents untimely murder and the cops searching for her to bring her in for questioning. Luke is making an effort to make his life better, better for him and better for Violet because that is what he feels she deserves. He has been sober for a month at the open of the book, where Violet is spiraling out of control with her drinking, and he spends his time at school, at football and with Violet, trying to help her through probably the second most difficult time of her life. It is while doing this that Luke realizes that he is in love with Violet and he tells her at an almost inopportune time, where is he met with silence. Violet struggles daily with the images in her head, images of her parents death, fear of Preston being able to get to her, even though she is protected practically twenty-four seven, and fear of her feelings and dependency on Luke.After taking her need for adrenaline a little too far, Violet begins to realize that she doesn't want to die as she once thought, instead she wants to live and she realizes that she loves Luke. It is with this new found admittance to herself and eventually to Luke that she is able to begin to rebuild her life without all of the outside influences she normally depends on to numb the feelings of despair that cloud her judgement."For the briefest second, I feel like I'm stepping into the future for once instead of drowning in the past, that maybe this is why I chose not to drown."This book in The Coincidence series is a must read for all of the Callie & Kayden and Luke & Violet fans. The reader is assaulted with a variety of emotions while reading, the good, the bad and the in between. I highly recommend this book as it was a 3.5 star read for me. I cannot wait for the next books in this series!!
