Blog Tour: Ruining You by Nicole Reed

REVIEW

5+ Hearts

Goodreads Summary

For a girl who dared to tempt death, living is the only promise that matters now. 

Jay’s life almost came to a forced end when her darkest secrets were revealed and the one who she chose to give her future to was ripped away. Now, everything she kept hidden is the topic of everyone’s conversation, and not all are sympathetic. Someone wants her horrific past to dictate her future, and another is determined to help her choose a different path.

In conclusion to Ruining Me, Kane and Rhye know that Jay is worth the fight, but waiting for her to find herself may ruin them all.

My Thoughts

.**ARC provided by author for an honest review**

I am not sure if i can truly express with words how much this book affected me. My emotions were all over the place while reading it. I cried a lot through out. There were even a few moments that had me laughing. But most of the time my heart was hurting. It was the ending though, well it made everything, the loss, the heartache, the tears,everything, worth it.

This book isn't about Kane. It isn't about Rhye. Not even really JT, Cal or Branch. This is Jay's book. It is one of her self discovery. It is about her learning to love herself again. And how to let the past go along with all the things she can not change, so she can move on with her life. And more importantly, it is about her finding a reason towant to live for no one but herself.

I have to be honest, after the way things were left at the end of Ruining Me, I wasn't sure what would become of Jay. How can you go through that and come back from it? You immediately can see when starting Ruining You, she still is not in a good place. She has shut herself off from everyone who loves her. But then she meets Eli. He comes into her life right when she needed him to.

"Don't let go now, Jay. One by one, place each piece of your soul back together, but this time, make it stronger. Close your eyes and do it."

He bring her back from the brink. He helps her face things she has been avoiding. And it is with his help that she is finally ready to go home to face everyone and everything. Once there, Jay continues the process of healing. In no way is the road ahead easy for her. There is still so much for her to work through. It is the demons that she refuses to face that continue to hold her hostage. Once she is able to do that, and only then, can she truly live her life again.

"life is not always rainbows and that there will be days of darkness, but if you hold on long enough, the sun will come out."

So, whether you are Team Rhye or Team Kane, the ending is just as it should be. Because the one we should have been rooting for all along is happy and more importantly wants to live. Team Jay!
