Effortless With You
review 1: Perfectly Messy is a great follow up to Effortless with You. Lucy and Justin are in love and loving being together. Justin's dad is running for governor and there are pressures on him to attend fund raisers, make appearances and even to appear as a single, eligible guy on a new reality show. (this last one is at the insistence of a manipulative campaign manager) They are getting to spend less and less time together. Lucy is finally getting her old groove back, playing basketball and making new friends. Even the evil Marissa is revealed to have a tragic past and is coming around. But there are some cruel reminders of Lucy's freshman year that suddenly appear in the press and this causes immense pressure on their relationship. Just when Lucy needs Justin the most, will he le... moret her down? Can they shut out the world, and focus on each other and what is truly important?I enjoyed this one almost as much as the first. I thought the ending was a little rushed, or maybe that is because I wanted to see more of them and their relationship! The epilogue was short, but sweet. Maybe a novella for them...a few years down the road to catch us up on what they are doing?
review 2: This was such an easy and enjoyable read filled with emotions. Lucy has the perfect boyfriend and a great start to her junior year in high school. However,their relationship is put to the test when Justin tries to be the perfect person he thinks he has to be for everyone,including Lucy. But no one can be perfect 24/7 and the balance of family,friends,school,and girlfriend brings Justin to his knees. Now he must figure out how to put everything into perspective before he looses everything.I loved Lucy's strength and determination. She attributes the person she's become to Justin,who helped he learn to be who she really is and stop living in fear. But there comes a time when she must learn to be herself without codependent on someone else.Justin is really a sweet guy and an awesome boyfriend.But life's trials has made him think he has to be the perfect son and the perfect person. However in doing this,he drives people away and becomes the person he never wanted to be. After a few people finally point out to him that it's alright to be perfect and with Lucy is where he belongs,he finds his true self. less
