Picking the pieces back up
5By Jami CavenRose might be falling to pieces but she certainly has become strong enough to pick herself back up. Love watching her continued growth in this novella and can’t wait to continue on with re-reading the rest of the series 😊Just love these books
5By TinasbI just love these books!!!!Joe, oh Joe...
5By HlgpoohJoe’s side of the story… This is a very short novel to tell us Joe's perspective after the break-up with Rose. I enjoyed reading through Joe's point of view and seeing how the break-up affected him. I still don't trust Joe, but after reading the novella, it is a little clearer how deeply his father manipulates him and I actually felt a little sorry for Joe. This was a very short, very quick read but the added details from another character's POV was well worth the read.Tears reading this novella
5By bengalfan78Falling to Pieces picks up after Joe and Rose break up at the end of 30. This is the first novella DGS has written for the series and the first time you get another person POV. My heart broke after Rose and Joe ended their relationship and it broke further reading Joe's POV. It was nice getting inside is head to understand more and not just see him through Rose's eyes. I still love Joe and understand why he did what he did. He was a man trapped, some of it due to is own mistakes and screw ups. But I think I loved more Joe because I do believe this was the first time he acted unselfishly with a person he loved. Why I still wanted to shack joe, expecially at the end with Hilary it didn't surprise me because he had no support system to help him through his heartbreak. Rose, while suffering the loss of her first love, got the better end of the deal. While still hurting she has the love and support of her family and friends that will ensure she comes out a stronger and better personAlways left wanting more!
5By DagmabbitIf you're reading this series and have finished the third book then you need to buy this one. It give a lot more detail with the break up and the emotions. It tells it from Rose and Joe's point of view. The emotions are so real you can feel them. I can't wait to purchase the next book and get started reading. I love Rose and Joe so now I am left torn for them both. I need to move on with the story to mend my heartache for them.Waste of money
1By Roberts232First half of the book is almost verbatim, word for word, taken from the previous book in this series. Until this book, I have enjoyed the series and the characters. This was a waste of money; I felt cheated. It was an extended epilogue to the last book once you went through all the repeated dialogue.Fantastic
5By Sierra82614I love the extra chapters that give insight to what the other characters are thinking. I am a loyal reader of this series and likely to become a loyal reader to other series by this author.Powerful POV
5By Tess425This book is from the point of view of Rose and Joe after the end of "Thirty and half Excuses" Do not read this book if you have not read the books before it. This is a heart breaking book that gives you a whole new perspective of these characters. If you are a true book lover, this book will make you forget these are just fictional characters.Love it!!
