More Than This Jay McLean Books

Under normal circumstances I would have quit this book around the 20% mark. But since I was reading this for Netgalley I decided I needed to finish this book. Things did not get better for me.

'More Than This' starts with Mikayla, who is 18 years old, heading to her senior prom. Her prom experience quickly becomes a disaster when she catches her boyfriend of 4 years having sex with her best friend. She finds comfort in a group of strangers that are also having their prom night but are from a different school. They instantly take her in. And one boy in this group catches her eye more than anybody else. Mikayla's life changes forever after that night in more ways than one.

*sigh*

This book was incredibly juvenile and unrealistic. And there is nothing I hate more than instalove or teenagers acting like they are mature, sexually advanced adults.

A few examples:
*A tragedy occurs in Mikayla's life the night of prom. She is instantly taken in by the 18 year old boy that invited her to his prom with him. His parents welcome her into their home and let her sleep in his bed with him (while he just wears his boxers) to provide her comfort. They don't bat an eye that they've never seen her before and have no problem with 2 eighteen years sleeping together.

*He's so sexually advanced that he's slept with 30-50 girls/women but lately he's slowing down and focusing on his baseball. Okay then.

*The characters decide that they are falling in love with each other after just a day or two. They don't tell each other. They just think it to themselves. In fact, they never seem to talk about their relationship out loud. They seem to prefer having a confusing, frustrating non-relationship that continues to be the core of their problems throughout the book.

*So much drama happens that it seems contrived and unrealistic. I can't really list this out without spoiling the fun.

*Mikayla discovers she is a screamer. Even when she masturbates. She actually screams out Jake's name over and over while masturbating without even realizing she was doing it. And then notices she is hoarse.

I understand that I am in the minority here as there are quite a few 4 and 5 star reviews. I just don't understand it.

More Than This Jay McLean Books Reviews

I loved it to the point were I didn't do anything like errands for the weekend because I was not going to put the book down! This story pulls at your heart and makes you want to push and argue alone (or like we do- to the book). Jake is perfect and patient, protective, loyal and understanding. He is a rock when it comes to dealing with the unexpected all at once because what life threw at Mikayla was devastating. Not only him, every character in this book serves a purpose. New friends are great and bring some lightness and fun to the story that is more than needed too. The author did a great job with this story because it grabs you and makes you desperate but for some unique reason it also makes you feel that love that the characters have for each other. Makes you sympathize. Like I said- I loved it. Gave me a hangover.
I came across this one on facebook and I have to say that I am so glad I did. This story rips your heart out and then slowly puts it back together. Jay McLean has done a magnificent job.
Mikayla's life completely falls apart in the course of one evening and lucky for her she found Jake Andrews. My god, that boy was amazing.
I was immediately drawn to this story and couldn't put it down. At first you may think this story has already been told because of what happens out of the gate to Mikayla, but trust me you couldn't be further from the truth. This one is a roller coaster ride and I am so glad I took it. Trust me when I say this More Than This is one of those stories that will stick with you in the end, and what an ending it is.
I'm not a fan of cliffhangers (there isn't one), but it does leave you ready for the next story.
Jay McLean developed characters that made you laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time. I felt so drawn in that I didn't want it to end. The supporting characters are amazing especially Lucy and Logan and the interactions between everyone leave you wishing you could be part of that group of friends.
To me that is the mark of a great author, a story so realistic that you feel everything they are going through and this one does that for you. I am definitely looking forward to more for this author, because this one was pretty close to perfect.
This book? It's everything! You'll more than a lot like it; you'll even more than a lot love it. The characters, all of them, are everything you'd ever want in a group of friends. You laugh with them, cry with them, get angry with them, love with them, and fight FOR them! You want it all, for them. You know why? Because Jay MCLean is a master with words! She knows when and how to be witty, funny, snarky, loving, angry, sad, and she isn't afraid to pull out drunk Lucy when necessary! She makes this book everything!

More Than This starts off with making you laugh. Then moves on to pissing you off and making you swoon all within a handful of pages. Then you laugh and swoon some more. Then it hits! And you're like, wait......what!? How can this be!? The horror, literally!! Then you sob! Throughout all of MTT this happens to you. You will go through a myriad of emotions and they will cycle through on many occasions. You never know when you'll go from swooning to crying to laughing, all within minutes!

With dual POVs, you get both Jake's and Mikayla's emotions. And Jake.....just swoon! He's perfect, really he is!!

If you haven't yet, get a copy of More Than This and read what all the fuss is about! Because really? The book is really worth it and is everything!
