I was given an ARC of this book for an honest review.... Beyond Eighteen (Wilson Mooney No3)by Gretchen de la O.★★ 4.5 STARS ★★ OMG! I was so happy when I had this book in my hand...I was desperately waiting for it since the day I finished Eighteen at Last. I was heartbroken and It felt like forever...now that I have read it Let me tell you Gretchen de la O. Did a great job with this final book of the trilogy. ( And Gretchen...the new covers...super hot...so Wilson and Max...2 thumbs up!!!)Let's refresh our memory a little ...In the previous book our dear Professor Max leaves us heartbroken. He realizes that Wilson in a moment of weakness and confusion betrays him.He feels lonely and at this time more because he recently lost his father .But despite feeling lonely and sad , he realizes that his father has taken decisions that can change their future. Now Wilson has to overcome her fears, insecurities and overall regain Max's confidence and fugure out what will happen when she returns to school to finish her senior year.What I can not deny is the strong bond, love and desire that is between Max and Wilson.Gretchen... Wao! Some scenes were so hot that many times I was fanning myself because let's face between frustration and desire those guys were having someone was going to explode at any moment! I really loved the ending ... many things were resolved between them .. like Wilson's relationship with her mother ... What happened to Nick, J and hateful Cindy.Of course I would love to continue Max and Wilson's story, but as Gretchen said with author Frank Herbert 's quote " There is no real ending...It's just the place where you stop the story”...maybe someday Gretchen will tell us some more. Indescribable Relief! That it does come to an end at the same time so sad to see some fav characters say goodbye. Max is still delicious, Wilson faces alot of hurdles & finds strength. It's so not the typical teacher student romance (at least not for me) Finding the meaning of true love...thats the ultimate treasure. I adored all the little sayings along the way.."if fishes were wishes we'd have a fish fry"
I don't really like the new cover, I liked the old one better. But I still love the story.
