Okay, let me just say
that I literally binge read all four PSU books—and Black Number Four—in a row.
So I have literally waited like four days to write my review because I probably
could have written my own full length book on my thoughts after finishing!
I want to go back to
college, and I want to apply to Palm South University.
I don’t know if there
is a better way of expressing my extreme affection and for the characters in
these books other than saying I want to jump into the pages and relive my
college days right beside them.
So, when I was
thinking about this blog post I felt like I needed to pull myself away from the
first three books in order to write my review of Legacy, but now (literally as
I write this) I’m starting to think differently.
The PSU series is a world built around characters who are so
vivid and so real, and their journey can't be contained in the review for one
book. I absolutely devoured books 1-2 (Rush, Anchor, Pledge). Between Skyler,
Cassie, Ashlei, Jess, & Erin I felt like I could relate so hard to these
girls. There was also so much about them that I appreciate. In fact, if I could
redo college I think I would embrace some of their attitudes too ;)
Again, I could spend
hours and pages talking about this series, but I’ll jump into some more Legacy
specific comments as to keep this review from getting out of control.
“It’s been such a
long year, filled with so much pain, and all I want is to feel whole again. I
hear my mom’s voice in my head again as I ask myself how many people I’ll have
to hurt in the process, and I can't find it in myself to care.”
Oh, Erin. This was a
character I reallllly struggled with in Legacy. And I mean that as the highest compliment to Kandi, because
Erin was SO real that she made me feel things. She has real issues, and she does some real shitty things,
but she is human, and to be human is to err. I was mad at her. I didn’t like the
way she was treating her friends; but also, she had to go through some
terrible, awful, hard shit. And I empathized with her too.
Kandi, Erin is a shattered
masterpiece. She’s a stained-glass window—broken, but still so beautiful on the
sunny days.
Skyler and Cassie are
my freaking girls. I think this duo works so well together because they embody
the friendships that we all treasure so much. They are opposite in so many
ways, but they look out for one another—and they can bicker and yell and still
hug at the end.
“Kip feels like
forever and I can't even call him mine.”
I could devote multiple
single-spaced pages to each character in these books, but I want to talk about
plot. OMFG, Kandi you absolutely crushed it! Kip was the perfect addition to
the PSU world and damn did he cause a commotion. I don’t want to say too much,
as not to spoil it for others, but this f**kin’ book BLEW MY MIND.
Erin’s ex and the
center of Skyler’s attention had his own game to play—just like the girls.
Between Erin’s insane plan, Skyler’s sneaking around, and Kip’s secrets, there
was seriously no telling how it would end.
“YOU LITTLE OFFICE
WHORE! Oh, my God. I’m so happy. And so proud. Tell me more! Tell me everything.”
And I am OBSESSED
with Ashlei’s escapades. I could read an entire novel just about her and
Brandon. She and Jess keep me laughing and smiling and this was easily my
favorite quote in the whole book. I’m so happy she’s happy.
And I can't wait to
see how Jess finds her happiness. Damn, does she deserve it.
I’ve barely touched
on the men in the book because I just love the women so much. But Bear—he is
the man/friend/hugger that we all need in our lives. He is so genuine, and I am
crossing my fingers for him at all times. He deserves the most happiness.
The verdict is still
out for me with Adam, I’m excited to see how he and Cassie pan out in the next
installment of PSU.
And I absolutely
cannot waitttt for more Kade. I have a feeling he is going to climb up my list
of favorite characters very quickly.
There is just soooo
much to love. I love the drama, I love the sex, I love the friendships. I
CANNOT WAIT to get my hands on season 5!
“In the meantime,
there are parties that need raging, kegs that need draining, and boys who need
banging.”
I would like to thank
Kandi and her PR team for the entire collection of PSU books & the ARC of
Legacy. I thoroughly enjoyed them, and I am (im)patiently waiting for season 5 :)
