I adored Selfish the first book of the Selfish series so much and was so excited when Myself released a few months back. When I realized it was a bout Becca and Jaycent and not the continuation of Ashlyn and Ryder’s story I was a little disappointed. Not because I didn’t want to know their story, but because I wanted to finally have answers to the cliffhanger we were left on.
Obviously I really liked Myself, but it felt like a retelling of Selfish with some of the scenes in Becca or Jaycent’s point of views. It was still interesting to finally learn more about their past and the emerging of their feelings for each other’s. In Selfish it was so easy to feel their connection and I must say I was really intrigued about their past.
Becca has always felt lost in her world of wealth, when she’s only a modest girl. She’s hurting from not being perfect enough for her mother and being mistreated by her boyfriend. The only person outside her big brother Ryder to really see her is Jaycent. I can’t express how much I love this guy. He’s so sweet with Becca and proves time and time again that he won’t let her go and he’s in this relationship for better or for worst.
In spite of their age difference, they’ve always share a special bond that developed into something more quite naturally. I enjoyed the fact the story flow between past and present, offering the reader with small pieces of the way their love story started years before.
I love the scenes where we could revisit Ashlyn and Ryder’s relationship too. I love both of them so much and can’t wait for the conclusion of their story in Selfless. Now that I know more about Becca and Jayce, the next novel will only be even more amazing with these two couples.
