BLURB
You know the universe is trying to tell you something when you get struck by lightning, but only after getting hit on by the elderly, almost getting ran over by a semi, and running into the one who got away.
Why do they say it like that anyway?
Like I accidentally lost her when she was the one that got in the car with my best friend and left me.
The day after I proposed.
We were eighteen.
I wanted forever.
She didn't.
It's been ten years.
I tried to move on, tried to get married, had that same wedding crashed by my now best friend who says the only way for me to stop pissing off the universe, is to gain closure with the one woman I can't forget.
So I do it.
I embark on a journey down memory lane that not only lands me in prison but on the receiving end of a fist fight in front of the entire town, this naturally happens after drunken pool sex, climbing the same girls window, and getting threatened at gunpoint by her father.
To say the universe is trying to tell me something anything, is a giant understatement.
I just hope I survive the message.
And then, I hope I survive her--again.

MY REVIEW
The Consequence
of Rejection by Rachel Van Dyken is a Romantic Comedy from her Consequence
series. Although completely fine to read as a standalone, without having
read the previous in the series - this is the first in the series for me &
I really enjoyed it. I will say however
that I’ll be circling back to read book 3 of the series, especially after Max-the
oh-so tough to love friend, had me laughing out loud on more than one occasion. “This
is a good time for you to run along and grab some popcorn, because things? They’re
about to get good.”
This is a story
of best friends, turned high school sweethearts. From a small town, these two fall victim to the
rejection of young love, loss & hearts broken out of uncertainty & insecurities…left
lost, out of pride “I drove away from
him and left my heart on his front porch.”
Fast forward ten years to find Jason-aka officer friendly & Maddy-the
literal girl next door, living lives they hadn’t imagined, only to cross paths
once more “Everything was the same. And
yet. Everything had changed.” Funny,
sexy & emotional at times “…both my
heart-and my savior.”, this quick read with hot chemistry & fierce
friendships, ensures laughs throughout, “Now
go get your woman and stop crying during ESPN. It’s pathetic.” In pursuit of closure, understanding
& forgiveness, so these two can move on with their lives “…this wasn’t about rekindling anything. It
was about ending it.” to come to thoughts of exploring the risks of handing
over your heart again. “I’ve never hated, and loved, someone so
much in my entire existence.”
Ultimately
– “It’s about Jason either getting
closure, or getting his girl.”
ARC received in exchange for an honest review.
