Even If We Fight

Ima need a minute…. update it’s been 10 days…. And I still don’t feel ready to write this review… reviewing books is hard… reviewing the final book in a series is super hard… and reviewing the final book in a series that put you through emotional turmoil and made you fuckin feel shit for a year and a half (while trying to not spoil anyone), honestly I don’t think I’d ever be “ready” to write this review, but I feel bad that I haven’t. And if my words can be what someone needs to start this series, or to stick with it then I want to do that. So without a further to do… 

Even If We Fight is the culmination of Phoenix Royal and Judah Colts story, and to say these to have had some soft and sweet romance over the course of these three books, would be a blatant lie, it’s been brutal. I’ve had so many heart pounding moments while reading this series because it felt like there was no way there would be a happily ever after, even though Brianna promised us one, I still could hardly see how all the wrongs could be undone and forgiven. 
But this book? This book did that. And it did it well. This wasn’t some “oh you need ✨rehab✨ & ✨therapy✨.” No this was real life, real shit, real pain, real display of rehab and therapy, for a man who desperately needed it. This was the story of a man who was beyond rock bottom, and this was his story of him wanting to get better to BE better not just for Phoenix, not for his friends, or fans, but for HIMSELF.
I sat on the edge of my seat waiting for the Judah explosion, if you’ve read the other books you’ll know what I mean by that, and it never came and that’s when I knew without a doubt that he was gonna be able to do this that he was gonna be able to be happy, that he would still be loved. Watching his character development over this book, watching Judah become the best version of himself, while still struggling in the most realistic of ways was beautiful, painful, but beautiful. 

And Phoenix? Oh my amazing Phoenix Royal, I am in awe of her, and let’s be real I have been since the first page of Why Are You Here. Watching her growth has been much more subtle than Judahs drastic self, but it is such a beautiful thing to see. She’s such a calm, strong main character throughout this book, but when she breaks down and cries I sob right alongside her. She’s an amazing friend, she’s forgiving, but not in a way that makes her feel like she’s getting steam rolled. I could go on and on about her, but I don’t wanna get repetitive or spoilery now so I’ll just say she’ll always be my favorite character of all time. 

As for Judah and Phoenix together, well I think I’ll leave that for you to discover on your own…

To say I shed tears while reading this book, hell this whole series, well that would be a huge understatement, but if I could go back in time and not read that ARC of Why Are You Here, well I would still have read it and I wouldn’t change a thing. 

I’m so excited for everything BRIANNA (sorry that’s a thing my phone does, I guess I yell at her a lil too much😅) has in store for us with the Dear Industry series, here’s to hoping it causes a lil less emotional distress than the Love Kills series, but who am I kidding I’ll love it even if it does.🥺🖤
