The Coincidence

review 1: Reading any of Jessica Sorensen’s New Adult books is a special kind of torture… at least for me. If given the option, I tend to steer clear of angst, yet I delve into each of her novels, knowing that the journey to Happily Ever After will be lengthy and filled with twists and turns. The Certainty of Violet & Luke is the third and final book in this particular couple’s narrative, and their journey so far has been filled with unexpected and shocking revelations that relentlessly interrupt their attempt at a romantic relationship. Both Violet and Luke already have a past that fights against them finding happiness, but then there's another force at work (Violet calls it destiny) that takes things a step further to prevent Luke and Violet from finding happiness with each ... moreother. The Certainty of Violet & Luke finally provides Luke Price and Violet Hayes with some much needed resolution, but not before they face their most formidable obstacle to date. Though they may have been supporting characters in Callie and Kayden's story, Violet and Luke are not the type of characters to remain in the background. Their personalities are larger than life, commanding attention in the midst of any crowd. Both Violet and Luke are similar in that the personality they project to others is only a front to disguise their innermost secrets. In this third book, however, all their secrets are exposed for the world to see and their hardened exteriors are revealed to mask the fact that they are both broken and flawed individuals. While I was initially drawn to these characters for the strength they conveyed in spite of their unfavorable upbringings, I appreciated the chance to witness their vulnerabilities, which Violet and Luke are only comfortable revealing to one another. The author builds a strong attachment between the characters, bonding them on a level so deep that this attachment is the one sure thing the reader has left to cling to when all else around them is unraveling. Jessica Sorensen excels at venturing towards the twisted and chilling side of New Adult that reminds readers that there is always more to a character than meets the eye. Her characters are survivors, battling invisible demons on a daily basis and Violet and Luke’s demons are particularly haunting. The Certainty of Violet & Luke is the perfect end to Luke and Violet’s narrative, tying up all loose ends and answering any lingering questions while gradually steering them out of the darkness that threatened to overwhelm them. The possibility of Luke and Violet finding their happy ending is what I most looked forward to when I started this book and I was more than satisfied with the finale.
review 2: I’m supposed to be writing a paper on Advocacy. A paper on something I want to be an Advocate for. But I can’t get my head in the right spot to start. I can’t get Luke and Violet out of my head. I can’t get then ending that Jessica gave them out of my mind. In my opinion, it was the humblest and most beautiful ending. They deserved that happiness so much. Violet, whom I learned to appreciate and care for got what she deserved. She got her life back. Now I’m currently (honestly I’ve always been) on this “On your own” path and I would feel it unnecessary for Violet to overcome her demons with Luke’s assistance, but I am not going to be that girl. I am not going to be the one that complains about Violet needing Luke, because in the end Luke needed her just as much. Luke, who in the end overcame his demons too. Both of these wonderful, fragile, beautiful characters came into my life and grew on me. They both had shitty hands dealt to them and both found extremely shitty ways to cope. The thing is in the end they both found less destructive ways. What I do wish was that I had seen some more Callie and Violet interaction. I’m glad they were around each other in the books, but I so very badly want them to have this badass-chicks-who-have-overcome-horrid-shit-from-the-past-shit friendship.. Maybe in the next Callie&Kayden book? Either way I was more than pleased with the resolution of this book. I am happy for Violet and Luke. I am happy that there’s more certainty to their love and their life. less
