Did I Mention I Miss You?: The Bittersweet Finale to a Hit YA Romance Series (Did I Mention I Love You (DIMILY), 3) Paperback – Picture Book, December 6, 2016

POV: Single - HeroineTrope: Forbidden Romance, Friends to Lovers, Second ChanceHEA: YesSteam Level: 3/4Swearing: 4/5Trigger Warnings: Alcohol, Anxiety, DepressionEden & TylerThis is the final installment in the DIMILY series.One reviewer mentioned that they felt like there was going to be more drama in this book. That it was anti-climactic because of it. But here’s the thing, this story is all about growth, becoming adults and making the and choices. Tyler went to therapy, got his shit together and became the man he was wanted to be. Not just for Eden, but for himself.In my review for the previous book, I even mention that as much as the ending was soul crushing, it was understandable. Tyler even said, he only got clean and didn’t hit people FOR Eden. He wanted to be able to do the right thing for himself and because... it was the right thing. It’s admirable, and I respect the hell out of him for it.I so badly wanted Tyler to punch Eden’s dad in the face. The guy was a major douche and because he was the dad, he felt like he could say whatever he wanted. Ugh. Tyler’s mom was a saint though. She just wanted her boy to be happy, especially after everything he had been through.I loved Eden’s final thoughts, it really hit me. “We have grown, and we have learned, but most importantly, we have finally accepted ourselves.” Their story is about self-acceptance, and not worrying about what other people think about them. A beautiful ending, to a beautiful story. One that I will 100% read again.(My steam level, swearing ratings and trigger warnings are based on a scale I created for my blog - diaryofabookworm)

My Rating: 4.2/5My Thoughts: Eden and Tyler had an epic roller coaster of a romance throughout this series. Eden had a tendency to be immature while Tyler was going through his own growth and removing himself from situations and relationships to better himself for Eden. This final book allowed them to delve into their mutual feelings as well as the hurtful treatment they both experienced. Once they were able to accept what they wanted, they were able to move forward without the repercussions of others voicing their opinions. This was a perfect ending for these two

I have enjoyed going on this journey with these characters from the beginning to the end. I have read their struggles and watched them grow. I will say that at the end of the 2nd book I was pretty upset about some events that unfolded but as I was reading through this book it hit me. This is what life is. It's not always pretty and sometimes things dont go the way we expect them to. People get hurt and yeah it sucks but it's all a part of life. I felt for everyone as they went through their ups and downs and all in all it was an amazing ride.Estelle- you rock! You wrote an amazing story with one heck of a storyline. It couldnt of been easy but it was raw and true! Definitely worth 5 stars!I'm sad to see this come to an end but I'm looking forward to the 10 years later book!

I LOVED the first two books and I love this one too it's good, but it wasn't as good or as emotional as I thought it would be I've waited for this book and counted down the days for it to be released me it just wasn't what I thought it would be. I am happy they got back together I just thought the whole trip would've lasted longer and been more about him trying to win her back or them sneaking around or something. The book had a lot going on in it that wasn't exactly Eden and Tyler and some of the best parts were skipped. Chapter 19 ended with them in town and chapter 20 began with her waking up with no clothes on in his bed. Like why didn't it tell the in between.? I thought I skipped a chapter or something. The other 2 books told everything. I just feel like the last book may have been rushed but it was still a great book. I'm in love with the series

Super cute trilogy full of sweet love, angst and teenage antics. I loved Eden and especially Tyler and reading how much they grew throughout the trilogy. Their issues were real, everyday issues that are very common. The secondary characters, including Rachael, Emily, Snake and even Jamie I came to love and get to know too which the author did an outstanding job of including them throughout as well. I highly recommend this trilogy to anyone who like teenage drama.

I loooooved this series. Yes the "I fell in love with my step sibling" has been done before, but not with this depth. I really feel these characters and I really feel their stories!! It's because I loved this series that I had trouble with this book. I didn't think it was the best conclusion book possible. Oh the ending was perfect, and Tyler's growth was great but there were a few things I couldn't get past. (Possible spoilers) 1. I can't deal with how easily Eden forgave Tyler. Yes wha he did was necessary, but the author let Eden forgive Tyler way too easily. He left for a year and left her with the fallout! It should have taken more than two days for her to forgive him, especially with how Eden's character is written. 2. Eden's father is a jerk, and his reason for treating her like a jerk is stupid, she shouldn't have forgiven him that easily either. Frankly she shouldn't be apologizing for anything, he treated her like a jerk and didn't talk to her for THREE years after divorcing her mom!! And then 3. Jaymie is also a jerk! Sure he's a teenager going through stuff, but he treated Eden horribly and she didn't deserve it! He doesn't have the right to be all self righteous frankly not with what his brother and stepsister had to deal with. The ending ending, as good as it was, was concluded to easily, and finally I was very disappointed that the author didn't write an epilogue, this series NEEDED an epilogue, If not an epilogue another book that shows these characters 10 years from now, otherwise this series was very well written!

This series was a quick read. I loved the couple and their journey. A great story of real world experiences and messages of standing up for one’s self!

So Did I Mention I Miss You? again takes off a year where the previous book, Did I Mention I Need You?, took off. I wasn't quite sure how crazy I was on the year gap between books personally at the beginning but getting into DIMIMY I kinda get why Estelle did it. And it works. It really does. After Tyler left at the end of DIMINY I honestly wasn't sure what the hell was going to happen with him and Eden, I'd kinda let my ship sink and be happy with that. But no, Estelle wouldn't let us down like that!I thought the year gap between the books was great, because that's where the story lies. In the between of what happened to each other, how they developed, and how they became more important to us. Distance makes the heart grow fonder and all, even if you don't know where you're heart ran off too! Eden was completely broken after DIMINY we know this, and what happens to a girl when you let her stew over an argument for a year? She moves on. She heals. She finds a distraction. Oh, Tyler.Everyone said DIMINY was their favorite book of the series, and I have to be the odd one out here and say that DIMIMY by far was my utmost favorite of the entire series. Mainly because it was SUCH a good ending. Eden was not a weak character, but she definitely needed a bit of a kick up the butt in books 1&2 and boy did she find her umph, she was such a better character in DIMIMY. She stood up for herself, and she did what she wanted to do for her and I loved reading here all the way through. Tyler really read as a better character in DIMIMY, I mean he was a good character that was versatile and complicated in books one and two but in the third I think he really became a character to love and to relate too. Tyler has developed massively over all three books and I think Estelle did a magnificent job in transforming him for the douche bag he was to a likable boyfriend worthy kinda guy.Did I Mention I Miss You? was the book I was most skeptical about going into, not because I didn't want to but because I'd binged the series it's always hard to go into the final book knowing there are no more afterwards, and with DIMINY being as good as it was it had a lot to live up to. But it was one of the best finales I have ever read to a series, it had the expected chaos from a DIMILY novel, it had the love and romance, it had the arguments, it had all the ingredients for a dysfunctional family, but in the end it wrapped up SO nicely guys! Everything just seemed to come together, and it wasn't one of those finales where everything happened right u[p to the end then suddenly Happily Ever After it happened slowly, and gradually throughout the novel you could see it happening.I'd recommend the Did I Mention I Love You? trilogy to anyone who loves a romance, a YA contemporary or a book that just perfectly feel-good. DIMILY makes you feel at home with a novel, like you can sink into a chair, and loose a rainy day immersed in Santa Monica, LA, New York, Portland! Did I Mention I Miss You? is a spectacularly heart warming ending to a beautifully written and concise trilogy. I can't wait for more from Estelle Maskame.

The book I just read doesn't match the description on Goodreads and I note there is a new publication date so I'm guessing the version that's releasing in December is an updated version? I'll definitely check it out to see what changes were made.I did enjoy reading the final book in the series even if he did have a slightly different vibe to the first two books.Tyler's character development in this series is absolutely superb and I say bravo to Estelle for the expert way she crafted and nurtured his character. I've gone from despising him in book one to totally loving him in book three. Tyler is awesome and such a motivational character in how he has turned his life around.Eden has grown up in this instalment too. Her reactions toward Tyler at the start of the book were bang-on. I was cheering her on because I felt her pain and her anger and she was totally justified in feeling that way, but I loved how she afforded him the opportunity to explain, and it was an explanation worth waiting for.The rest of the book shows them developing more of a normal relationship and it was really sweet and so good to see these characters getting their HEA.I also loved the two moms and it was great to see how supportive they were of their kids even if they didn't fully agree with some of their decisions. I'm not sure how I feel about Tyler's dad, and given the timeframe whether it was credible or not, but, hey, this isn't real life so I just went with the flow. Eden's dad continues to be the greatest jackass to walk the planet and I'm glad that she took the bull by the horns and tried to tackle him at the end.My main complaint with this book is that there was no real conflict (beyond what we are used to in this series) and no climactic moment. I kept expecting some bombshell or obstacle to be thrown their way but nothing happened. The story seemed a little flat as a result. I still enjoyed it but I think it was lacking a little on the dramatic front. I also would have really loved an epilogue set in the future. Hopefully, both those points will be addressed in the new version and I look forward to checking it out.Having read this complete series now, I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was very addictive - I've read the three books pretty much non-stop, back to back, over the last few days, and I got totally immersed in the characters lives and the settings. I hugely enjoyed how each book had a different backdrop and that only added to the appeal. If you haven't checked this series out and you enjoy teen drama and angst and/or step-sibling romance, then I highly recommend it.

Das ist das erste Buch, welches ich seit einer gefühlten Ewigkeit auf Englisch gelesen habe und ich hatte schon bedenken, ob ich gut in die Geschichte reinkomme und wie verständlich das Englisch ist und ich muss sagen, es ging sehr gut. Ich weiß nicht, ob ihr die Problematik mit englischen Büchern kennt, aber ich überlege dann doch manchmal, ob ich jetzt soll oder nicht.Die Handlung geht dort weiter, wo es in Band 2 geendet hat, aber ein Jahr später. Eden war jetzt in Chicago und Tyler war verschwunden. Der Einstieg fiel sehr leicht und zwar macht Eden Heimaturlaub und ich habe gemerkt, dass sie noch nicht so ganz über Tyler weg ist, obwohl er nicht da ist. Als sich die beiden wiedersehen, knistert es schon gewaltig. Ich muss aber Eden zu Gute halten, dass sie nicht gleich auf Tyler angesprungen ist und sie doch eine schwesterliche Variante probieren wollte.Mir hat so die Fortführung und das Ende der Geschichte sehr gut gefallen. Es war für mich sehr interessant zu lesen, wie die beiden immer noch familiäre Probleme haben und es nicht alles geregelt scheint. Was mich dieses Mal ganz besonders begeistert hat, war zu erfahren, was Tyler in diesem Jahr gemacht hat und was er für eine Wandlung durchgemacht hat. Ich persönlich finde, er ist deutlich Erwachsener geworden. Schön war, dass er das Jugendzentrum eröffnet hat. Was ich nicht so gut finde, ist der Kontakt mit seinem Vater. Ich glaube, wenn ich in seiner Situation wäre und soviel schlechtes mit einer Person erlebt hätte, könnte ich das sicherlich nicht mehr.Eden fand ich auch wieder richtig nett und ich finde es schön, dass sie trotz der Bedenken mit Tyler gegangen ist.Das Ende war für mich gelungen und es war auch sehr realistisch, weil, wenn es zu schnell geklappt hätte, wäre es sicherlich nicht realistisch gewesen.Der Schreistil war wieder richtig angenehm zu lesen und auch die englische Variante ist für einen Nicht-Muttersprachler sehr gut verständlich.Fazit:5 von 5 Sterne. Definitiv eine Kauf – und Leseempfehlung für diese Geschichte!

Vorweg:Ich bin durch eine Leseprobe zufällig über Band 1 gestolpert und wollte das Buch zunächst nicht lesen, da ich eher ältere Protagonisten bevorzuge. Zusätzlich lese ich ungern Serien aus der Perspektive nur einer Person, was hier durchweg der Fall ist.Mein vergessener Kindle und einer mehrstündigen Zugfahrt sorgten aber dann für einen kurzfristigen 'Notkauf' von Teil 1 im Bahnhofsshop.Und meinen Vorbehalten zu Trotz, von Anfang (Taschenbuch deutsch) bis Ende (2&3 eBook englisch)...Ich liebe diese Geschichte!! bittersweetJeder Teil wurde nur beiseite gelegt, wenn es unumgänglich war (arbeiten, schlafen,...).Ich habe gelacht, geweint ;), war fuchsteufelswütend (ja wütend) und manchmal fassungslos.Die sich anbahnende Beziehung der Stiefgeschwister (weder blutsverwandt noch zusammen aufgewachsen) scheint zunächst ein eher hausgemachtes 'Problem' in den Köpfen der Hauptcharaktere sein.Durch die Erzählweise aus Edens Sicht, weiß man immer nur, was sie fühlt und wahrnimmt. Und auch bei ihr wird einem kein kompletter Steckbrief hingeknallt.Man lernt sie langsam kennen, bekommt manchmal, eingestreut, Hinweise, über ihre Erfahrungen und Probleme. Mit ihr lernt man neue Umgebungen und Leute (Familie/Freunde) kennen. Man versteht nicht immer gleich warum sich Personen verhalten, wie sie es tun.Bei jedem Charakter spielen dessen persönliche Erfahrungen und derzeitige Lebenslagen mit rein.Man möchte manchmal den Kopf schütteln oder schreien, wenn das Verhalten zu extrem scheint, aber merkt im Nachhinein (wenn man sich beruhigt hat), es kann tatsächlich alles so passieren.Die Entwicklung der Charaktere ist spannend mitzuerleben und überrascht auch im dritten Band noch.Man sollte auf jeden Fall alle drei Teile in der richtigen Reihenfolge lesen!

It was a fitting end to an amazing series. Did I Mention I Miss You? was so great, it wasn't as jam packed at the first two, this one seemed a lot slower paced. It picks up a year after the second book ended, and as you read you just know that good things are going to happen. I would highly recommend this book to anyone finishing off the series. It was emotional but not in the same way as the first two books, it was emotional in a sad and happy way. When the book ended it left me wanting more, I feel like I desperately need more updates on Tyler and Eden. I'm desperately finding another book series like this as I'm having withdrawal symptoms from it. Once again, a perfect ending to an amazing series.
