About the book:
Author: Sara Wolf
Published by: Entangled Teen
Pages: 320
ISBN: 9781633754997Synopsis:
Isis Blake hasn’t fallen in love in three years, forty-three weeks, and two days. Or so she thinks.
The boy she maybe-sort-of-definitely loved and sort-of-maybe-definitely hated has dropped off the face of the planet in the face of tragedy, leaving a Jack Hunter–shaped hole. Determined to be happy, Isis fills it in with lies and puts on a brave smile for her new life at Ohio State University.
But the smile lasts only until he shows up. The menace from her past—her darkest secret, Nameless—is attending OSU right alongside her. And he’s whispering that he has something Isis wants—something she needs to see to move forward. To move on.
Isis has always been able to pretend everything is okay. But not anymore.
Isis Blake might be good at putting herself back together. But Jack Hunter is better.
About the author:
Sara Wolf is a twenty-something author who adores baking, screaming at her cats, and screaming at herself while she types hilarious things. When she was a kid, she was too busy eating dirt to write her first terrible book. Twenty years later, she picked up a keyboard and started mashing her fists on it and created the monster known as the Lovely Vicious series. She lives in San Diego with two cats, a crippling-yet-refreshing sense of self-doubt, and not enough fruit tarts ever.
Review:
Remember Me Forever took the Lovely Vicious series to a completely new level and I was taken by surprise with how much better this book was compared to the previous ones. Love Me Never and Forget Me Always were good, but this one was exceptionally better regarding the plot and the characters, which were so much more developed and strong.
Forget Me Always ended in another cliffhanger - not as bad as the cliffhanger from the first book, but also meaningful - and suddenly the story could go to completely different directions, and the direction that Sara Wolf took was probably the smartest choice.
Sometimes when life kicks you in the ass, you have to kick it back.
In the nuts.
With steel-toed boots.
This last book takes place in college, and I loved the different scenario because I'm also at college and we had already spent two books in High School, so it was the perfect time for a change in the background.
As I've said before, the characters that we get to see in Remember Me Forever are not the same that we met in Love Me Never, and I love that. People evolve, therefore so do characters.
Isis' character was probably the one that developed the most. In the first book, she's so scared and trying to hide her true feelings, and in this book she's honest to herself, strong and a complete badass. I had some problems with Isis in the first book - as you may have seen in my review - but in Remember Me Forever she's completely different and so much more concrete and reliable.
Jack was the one that got me worried the most. What happened in the end of Forget Me Always destroyed him, and I knew it would take its tool on him. However, I adored seeing this professional and protective side of him.
In this final book, he's a man and every action he does, show us exactly that.
"And when he comes back. I will behead him," I announce.

"And when he comes back. I will behead him," I announce.
"You'll greet him," Kayla says sternly. "With a hug."
"I will greet him with a hug. To his torso. Which will be missing a head."
And do I have to mention how happy I was to see Jack and Isis finally together?! It was what I've been wanting for the past two books, and it finally happened! Thank you Sara! It was as perfect and heartwarming as I imagined it would be.
And the addition of the new characters was on point! I feared that I wouldn't like them, since I adored Kayla and Wren - even though they don't stop existing in the series - but it wasn't like that, and they helped to complete the college picture that the author was building.
There was obviously one 'new' character that I didn't liked: Will. We heard so much of him from the previous books, and finally getting him in the present story line was both nerve-wracking and awesome, because it was finally time for Isis to get back at him and to break away from what he did to her. And, as anyone can imagine, I loved how things turned out in the end!
Regarding the ending, I just wanted more of it. I've been with this characters for a month and I attached myself to their lives and their minds. It's going to be hard to say goodbye to Isis' witty comebacks and Jack's strong and somehow icy persona.
A single flame from Isis's lips and I'm reminded of our war, our words, our bond. I want to kiss her. I want to kiss her as she turns me to ash.
Overall, Remember Me Forever was the best book of this trilogy. The characters made so much progress and this book showed why I loved them so much. The plot was also much more developed, which helped to tied up any lose ends and to give the ending that this characters needed.
Therefore, the Lovely Vicious trilogy proved to be a fast-paced and humorous series with many diversity and realistic elements, so I completely recommend it!
