I HOPE THE AUTHOR GIVES US MORE MORE MORE....FANTASTIC CONCLUSION TO THIS FUN FILLED LOVE STORY!!!!TOP FAV SERIES ... TOP FAV BOOK BOY ... JACK IS PERFECTON & GRACE IS ONE OF THE BEST SASSY GIRLS I'VE READ EVER I ADORE THIS STORY Well I’m going to try and write a full review on this book, and it’ll probably have bit and pieces of the other two books because it’s hard to split them up. Characters: I have to say that in this particular book I wanted to punch the Brit right on his cute and perfect face more than once. I mean, I get that he was suffering and all the pressure was getting to him and all but he should have leaned on Grace for support not on Adam and his stupid irrational behavior. And what about turning on Holly like that? I know she was all manager mode most of the time but she was also a friend, and a very good one, so I don’t get why he was being so mean to her, but then again I kinda get where he was coming from, the pressure on this people is insane. And I truly mean it. The growing though was really necessary at the end, and I’m glad it happened. The comment that made me realize it had happened was when Jack said “He’s an ass” about Adam, right there I knew that he was going to get over it. I was so scared though, just on that ship along with Grace, sinking all the way to depression.About Grace, I can say that I was a little mad at herself at first for not standing up to that ass who was directing the show. Being a person struggling with weight issues myself I could only hope that she would stand up, not only for herself but for all the girls like me on the world. It was so nice when she finally did it OMG, and all those posts on the blogs (going to comment on that in a bit) where women were looking up to her, and saying that we really need a role model like her, which I truly believe it’s true. I loved how even though she is silly and fun and she seems really immature, she was able to step up to a place where she was able to not only help herself but help a lot of other people and most of all Jack. Her growth within the books was incredible and progressed really naturally. I was so happy for her. I was truly rooting for her all the way, because of that empathy that I felt, she was like my friend. I could also totally relate with her age crisis, I mean, I’m 20 and I surely have problems accepting things in life, and change, and not knowing if I’m going to fulfill my dreams, it’s hard man, it sucks but it’s damn hard.Holly was the best friend/manager that there is (? I really love her. I love her personality, how she never worries Grace with the problems they have, or the magnitude of said problems. I love how she always looks out for her, and how she can (most of the time) keep friend Holly and manager Holly apart. Her relationship with Michael at the end Oh that was so amazing. She really deserved someone wonderful and Michael showed that he was a great friend for Holly (although he pissed me of so much on book two).The story overall was pretty good. I have to say that it was really explicit most of the times and I'm not that into it, but I really loved their relationship, it was just a bit too much for me, mostly on book two. Particularly this book made me really anxious, I mean why was Jack being so insensitive and behaving like an ass and why did she let him get away with it so much. Besides that, the other part of the book that I really enjoyed was all the struggle with weight. As I already said it a personal matter to me and I really think that this book has a powerful message. Grace was perfectly fine with her weight, and so was the people that loved her, but the media and that industry in general are so cruel, god. Also the paparazzi matter, how they were totally swarmed by them and couldn’t do anything together until that precious moment at the end when Grace does what I’ve wanted her to do since the book started and support him openly. I get the fears she had, and I get the bad comments (I’ve never been one to write crap about my idol’s relative other, but I know the internet and how cruel it can be) I loved that Jack wanted to go public and he was so frustrated when Holly talked him out every time.About the layout of the book, I really liked those parts that were like reading a blog or a gossip magazine’s website but I though it went for too long. It was a bit boring at times and I wanted to just skim through it and go on with the story. And for the end, one of the thing I loved the most about the book, and the series in general. The nicknames. Oh god when Jack called her crazy and nut head or Gracie I seriously melted, it was just that cute. And George or Sweet nuts bsjhdiasbd. And how Holly had fruitcake as a funny nickname for Grace and viceversa I LOVED IT. It’s like it makes the book so much more personal and lovely.I recommend this books a lotttt
