You Were Mine

4.5 Stars I was one of those people who HATED Bethy because of what happened to Jace. I literally couldn't stand her and refused to read this book when it came up. But i have to say that I WAS WRONG! I loved Bethy and Tripp together. I think the main reason I was ok with them was because this takes place 2 years after Jace died and I liked how they still talked about him. It wasn't like they swept him under the rug and acted like Bethy's relationship didn't mean that much. Tripp and Bethy really talked about her relationship with Jace and I'm glad they made it so she still loved Jace and that he would always be her hero. I think Abbi Glines did an amazing job with their story. I loved how Tripp never gave up on her, even when she pushed him away. That is exactly what Bethy needed. I loved their chemistry. I honestly believe this is one of the best of the series (after Rush and Blaire of course). I can't wait to read the next book.

Most of the graphic scenes are between 18-year-old Tripp and 16-year-old Bethy. I had to skip through those parts because underage sex is gross, particularly in an adult novel. Just my opinion.

I loved the storyline, but was left hanging at the end. To abrupt... I'm hoping for another book

as usual the book is awesome...

Anything that Abbi Glines touches turns to gold. I absolutely love every Rosemary Beach man!! With Rush and Tripp being number 1 and 2!! How could you not fall in love with Tripp. The protectiveness of each men just bring the lust out!! Im glad Bethy found her happily ever after! She deserves it.

Don't stop but it now and read it- if you like Abbi then here is to one more that you will keep your head in the book and on the characters. All of her books are amazing on their own and together they build a story of beautiful friends, couples, and life stories! Read and it will not let you down.

I just loved this story and at times wanted to just cry for everything Bethy was going through. Tripp has the full meaning of first love and does he ever love Bethy. I can not wait to get more of all these couples in this series as never tire of them.

I have been waiting for Bethy's story to be told and this book told the backstory well for both Bethy and Tripp. I just hope they get a second book like the rest of the couples we love so much. There is so much more to tell! Abbi, thank you again for a wonderful story. You never disappoint.

Been waiting for this story!! It's still sad about Jace but I'm glad Tripp and Bethy found their happiness. A sweet story!! I really liked it a bunch!!

4.5/5 stars Sometimes I come across a book that touches me in such a way that it embeds itself deep in my soul. Tripp and Bethy's story did just that to me. When I began this book I was upset about Jace but the more I read, the more I began to see things through the perspective of these two characters I got it. I get it. Slowly this story morphed itself from something so heart wrenching to a story of lost loves and second chances. Bethy has always intrigued me. She was that one friend who uses her body. Never fully understanding where she was coming from, I was happy to get more of an insight to who she is. Even though I was upset with events that happened, I still wanted to know her backstory. Then there is Tripp. I loved the way he would do anything for his friends. Getting dual points of view from the past to the present I was able to connect to these characters on a deeper level. I finally saw why Bethy did the things she did. Why Tripp was so protective of her. What brought them together and what tore them apart. I saw the love that was unmistakeable, undeniable, and indisputable. By the time I got to a certain point I was rooting for these two. I wanted them to get that happy ending they both deserved. I knew though that it wasn't going to be a straight shot. There are things Bethy needs to do in order to see that she can move on. That it is okay. Yes, like others I could not see how this could end after the tragedy that befell both Tripp and Bethy in Jaces death. The way Abbi wove this tale I can not express how amazing it truly is. Secrets kept, love scorned, lost and found again. I got to see two characters who through tragedy came back together and heal. Tripp has gotten under my skin like no other character in this series. His loyalty and devotion is so palpable is captivated my very being. Oh and that man's mouth holy hotness! Dirty talk like that alone makes this book worth reading. I know that many are upset about Jace, but we must remember that in life tragedy does happen. Just as it does in books. It makes the story more real, the characters more relatable. When something like this happens, we as readers must remember that life does go on. It may be a while before the character feels sunshine as they used to, but one day they do begin to live again. Same thing can be said with Bethy. This wasn't like she pushed Jace aside. She fought with herself, she struggled, she hurt like any real person would. Slowly she came around, slowly she began to feel again and feel worthy. Tripp gave her that space, he was there and shared in her pain (not physically as Bethy wouldn't allow him near her) He understood her like no one else ever could. She needed to come to terms with his death. Like anyone who has lost someone will tell you time can heal the wounds but we never forget those we love. Jace would have wanted Bethy happy because that is who he was. He loved her so much that her happiness meant more to him then anything else. I applaud Abbi for not taking the easy route. It must not be easy to do what she did, but the way she did it and the way she honored Jace is beautiful. His spirit lives on in Rosemary Beach, also within his friends.
