Violet was every bit as surprising as I expected her to be! I did not expect her story to go where it did, but I loved that the emotional content and character journeys weren't only centered in their distrust/past- and that we didn't spend a ton of time seeing that past situation or have a ton of OW drama, which was a real fear for me. But leave it to Rebecca to force Violet’s hands- a little bit of forced proximity, a persistent hero, and sweet moments of vulnerability created the just right moments needed to force these two to come to terms with their past- and their unresolved feelings.
And even more so, could VIOLET forgive Gavin? She showed no signs of wanting to understand, even caring to understand, what exactly happened that led to the heartbreak she experienced. I was so curious to get underneath what really happened between them- and if Rebecca could actually redeem Gavin, even though I logically knew there had to be more to the story. I can’t get enough of the Wallflower crew- and I’m so happy we get to see Violet find her HEA and Gavin redeem himself so perfectly.Īfter we got a glimpse at the complicated past between Gavin and Violet and the vitriolic state of their relationship, I knew this story would have a bit more angst, a lot of push and pull, and ample drama. I just adore this series! The sweet chemistry, the endearing characters, all the charm and sincerity paired with humor and the complexity of growing up. He does some nice things but I wanted more.
I felt super conflicted because cheating is a hard no for me, and Violet forgives him thinking he did. Why couldn’t she have just walked into his room? And you’re supposed to start liking him then but I kept thinking he’d be having sex with another girl right now if she didn’t walk in. They’re not together, sure, but literally minutes later he cares for her when she’s sick. When a story starts, I just want my MCs focused on each other and everything else in the past. I don’t like that she walks in on him hooking up with a girl. That *of course* the guy is always in love with the girl the whollleee time but sleeps around like crazy and *of course* the girl doesn’t date at all. I know the point is that she forgives him either way but we could have at least seen her find out he didn’t!! I had a feeling he didn’t but then you find out in the last like two minutes and we don’t even see Violet ever find out?! It’s such a huge deal I think we needed more. That you think he cheated the whole time. That they both have ambitions and other things going on besides romance
We must be twins because I’ve always felt like an “Austen phony” too - I love all the adaptations but not the real books! 🤣
