Game Ender
"Remember when I said I wanted the whoosh?..."
First this series, there is so much to love about it. And I'll get into that later. But Thomas and Amy - WOW - what can I say about a story that delivered everything about a contemporary romance that gave me my whoosh. When I sit down to be entertained by a story, THIS is what I expect. BJ Harvey delivered and more.
What does the story offer that my preference as a reader is so tickled by? Well, for the entire Game series, Ms Harvey has each couple someone that you can imagine running into the grocery store. The characters are completely identifiable to real world situations. They were funny and quirky. I loved witnessing them falling into like then love. Thomas and Amy break apart the traditional definitions of what a family is and should be. These characters develop the relationship into something that is more than just physical attraction. And something they both want to make work. Do they have their moments ? Sure and just like any adult they work through the issues as adults. No big drama or heavy angst which is this reader's preference.
Can this be read as a standalone? Most definitely. Do I recommend that? Nope and here is why: I loved this entire series and all the cast of characters. You would be doing yourself a disservice as a reader to not gobble up this books in whatever order you want to read them in. 5 out of 5 whoosh stars.
