Review by Gia:
Wow! This book was amazing. It's really hard for me to write a non spoiler review, but no worries I won't include any spoilers.
In the beginning of the book Charley is dating Dylan. Something happens and she ends the relationship by totally avoiding him. Cash (who Charley calls Cash Money) is her rock. Charley describes Cash as her "knight in an F250 and a pair of Carhartts." I love that description of Cash. Charley goes off to college and Cash stays on the farm. Charley loves Cash but she wants to experience college and find herself. Cash is fine with that. Cash tells her, "I am willing to wait, continue being your best friend, boyfriend, continue being your rock, but I'm not leaving you ever again."
While at college Charley becomes friends with the girls on her dorm floor. She also meets Joe. Joe seems to be the perfect person for Charley to explore college with. Charley goes back and forth between Joe and Cash. Both Joe and Cash know about each other and form a friendship.
The characters were well written, which allows the reader to bound quickly with them. The end of the book took a turn I never expected. There's a huge cliffhanger. You are definitely left wanting more.

Finding Charley (Full Circle, #2)
One bottle of Jack and the words “I’m sorry” are all it takes for Charley’s world to turn upside down… again. Charley has a decision to make. Does she sink or swim?
After Dylan reminds Charley that he always has the upper hand, she decides it’s time break free. But how? She uses her past, present, and what she hopes to be her future to find her freedom.
With the help of Cash Money and the Kluft Girls, she devises a plan to take down Dylan. Will she succeed, or will she find that she will never escape his hold? Once this plan is put in place, who will be by her side when it comes to an end? And will this plan include Jackalope Joe?
Review by Gia:
| Finding Charley is a great book. Finding Charley is the second book int he Full Circle series. It can not be read as a stand alone. You must read No Turning back first. Finding Charley starts right where No Turning Back left off. After Joe comes clean about his involvement with Dylan, Charley comes up with a plan to stop Dylan. This plan is absolutely crazy but true to Charley's character. Everyone goes along with Charley's plan because they know Charley will do want she see as the right thing to do no matter who is behind her plan. Joe seems to be the unknowing victim of Dyaln's plan. you get help but forgive his character for what he did. I could you not forgive Jack, he just to awesome not too. I would love to have some POV from Dylan to see what's going on in his head. There were a lot of situations in this book where I was like OMG why is Charley doing that. Cash has some tough times in this story too but it just shows us how strong Cash is. The ending was a crazy cliffhanger. It leaves a lot of questions as to what happens next. I can't wait to read the next. |

Loving Charley (Full Circle, #3)
When Charley decides to make Dylan famous, she never thought about the repercussions that might occur, and how it would affect everyone around her.
Now that she has followed through with the plan, she is unsure of what the future holds. She has to decide what is more important in life: living her dream, speaking the truth, or keeping quiet.
Charley’s life comes full circle when her freshman year comes to an end. Will Dylan be in her past and Cash in her future? Or will Dylan continue to be an eerie constant in her life?
Review by Gia:
Loving Charley is the third and last book in the Full Circle series. The books can not be read as standalones. They mus be read in order. Finding Charley left with a cliffhanger and Loving Charley picked up right there. Finding Charley left me really worried about the fate of Cash, Charley, and Dylan. Cash is definitely Charley's knight in an F250 and a pair of Carhartts.
I really felt that the Charley really grew in this book, she came full circle. Charley finally came clean with everything that happened with Dylan. The way her parents reacted to the news seemed to be a very real reaction. I really loved how Cash and Charely's relationship progressed in this story. My favorite line in the book is, "I can't move forward without forgiving him, and neither can he." It's a reminder that in life we must forgive to be able to move forward. I loved how the character action in this story were very believable.
I am sad to see the series end but I enjoyed reading it. Reading the Full Circle series has a great journey. I can't wait to see what Casey Peeler writes next.
