The Hawthorne brothers got the closure and healing they needed though I do hope they all are in therapy after all of this. Anyway, Avery got the upper hand so good for her. How people can play with other people’s lives like this is just horrible? I get that in his way, he was protecting his family but at Avery’s expense. It is the second book in The Inheritance Games trilogy. What he did to Avery is kinda cruel but I do like what she did with the money at the end. The Hawthorne Legacy is a young-adult contemporary mystery novel by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. ![]() Tobias Hawthorne was an asshole but I can’t imagine anyone who accumulated that much wealth is a decent person. The Hawthorne Legacy - (The Inheritance Games) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes 8. The puzzles were more complicated and we have a new antagonist to play against. The fast pace nature of the story telling is still there. Well all of that was answered and some of it was good and some of it was okay. Avery had picked between Jameson and Greyson but I guess her year wasn’t quite over yet and hadn’t officially inherited the Hawthorne fortune yet and I guess we still hadn’t found it why she was picked. I mentioned earlier that I was surprised to find out this book was a trilogy because I thought it wrapped up pretty nicely in the last book. ![]()

Lara Jean and Peter’s relationship is as adorable as ever-minus the bumps along the way-and the side plot with Lara Jean’s dad getting married is heartwarming. Reading this book, I remembered the anxiety that went along with waiting for college acceptances, the joy of watching my friends get “promposed” to in elaborate ways, and the paradoxical feeling of both excitement and terror at the fact that everything was changing.Īlways and Forever, Lara Jean is raw, real, and relatable in a way that the first two books were not but still had that same charm.
