Synopsis
Football glory. A giant diamond. A wandering eye.
Jude and Lucy are happily engaged . . . but that doesn't mean life's a bed of roses.
Once again, Jude and Lucy are torn apart by football training and a summer job that creates new tensions. This time Jude's the one with trust issues. Will Lucy's life-changing news bring them back together or end their relationship for good? Can love triumph forever?
I wish I could’ve loved this book as much as I did the first two ones, but it wasn’t meant to be. I think it was precisely what I loved in those that despised in this.
In Crush, the story follows Luce and Jude with their new/old problems: Jealously, anger issues, caveman tendencies… blah blah blah. Only, Luce has some life-chaging news to share. And we must pretend we are totally clueless as to what they are.
Luce is worried that with Jude’s increasing success in football, he’ll change into a dollar-eyed jerk. Jude is, as always, disturbingly, but inconditionally willing to do whatever Luce asks him. Be it to win millions, or go live in a farm in the middle of nowhere. He’s fine as long as she’s having wild sex with him.
So, you might wonder, what exactly is this book’s plot? The conflict?
I’m saddened to say… I have no idea. It was a jumble of everything in Crash, and Clash, but due to the fact that in Clash, those problems were supposedly um… adressed and wrapped in a ribbon, I didn’t feel okay with that ribbon being unlaced and revisiting those same ol’ problems.
This series would’ve been so great if the epilogue of Crush had been that of Clash’s. We’d have saved ouselves a book, but it’d have been hell of a lot satisfying.
