Spoiler Free review by Meagan
"The tables have turned. Now I have the power—and it’s his turn to beg…
Everyone wants to be me.
Maybe it’s the sway of my skirt or the way I flip my hair, but I don’t care. Even though their attention is the last thing I crave, I just can’t stop. I dominate the track, the speed rattles my bones, and the wind and the crowd screams my name.
I’m her. The girl driver. The queen of the race. And I’m surviving—something he thought I’d never do.
They all talk about him. Did you see Jared Trent on T.V? What did you think of his last race, Tate? When is he coming back to town, Tate?
But I refuse to care too much. Because when Jared does come home, I won’t be here.
Tatum Brandt is gone. I’m someone new."

At the end of Falling Away, the third book in Penelope's Fall Away series us readers were shocked to find out that Tate and Jared, the couple that started it all were no more. Jared broke things off with Tate to become a better person, but he was coming back, or so he said. Now it's been two years since that day when Tate told him to get out of her room.
When Jared left he never thought he'd be gone for two years, away from the one he needs to survive. He also never thought when he did come home, his love would have moved on. But now he is back and Jared is taking what he wants, what he needs.
Unfortunately for Jared, Tate isn't giving in as easily as she has in the past. Now it really is her turn to play the bully or in other words she;s going to make him suffer like she did all those years he bullied her.
Two years is a long time to be with out the person you've loved since you were ten years old. Even after being bullied by Jared in high school for three years Tate always loved him. When she went abroad Junior year, she came back a stronger person, now he comes back to find what? I guess you'll need to go purchase this book and find out.
I was lucky enough to win and ARC from Penelope of Aflame. To say I devoured this book would be an understatement. If I could have gotten away with no sleep, food or work I would have. Even from the first sentence I was hooked. I wanted or maybe needed to know what Jared was thinking when he left Tate behind. I needed to know what Tate was feeling in the two years they were apart.
So many questions ran through my head. Would they get back together? Would Tate really make Jared Trent, her bully, beg for her back? How are the other two coupled handling this breakup? What's been going on with Madoc, Jax and Jared since he left?
To say your questions will be answered is definitely true. Maybe not every reader will be impressed with the way Penelope wrapped up this series, but I definitely was. Not everyone is going to be 100% satisfied but I believe the majority will be. Penelope does an amazing job with the ending of all our favorite Fall Away couples.
