ARC REVIEW: DID I MENTION I NEED YOU? by Estelle Maskame

ARC REVIEW: DID I MENTION I NEED YOU?

 
Summary:
Love has no rules.

It's been a year since Eden Munro last saw Tyler Bruce: her stepbrother...and secret love. Although they swore to ignore their feelings and put their family first, Eden can't help but feel excited when Tyler invites her to join him in New York City for the summer.

But it's not like anything is going to happen. Eden is happy with her boyfriend Dean, and she knows gorgeous, green-eyed Tyler must have moved on as well. But as they spend the long, hot summer in the city that never sleeps, it becomes obvious that those old feelings are still there...simmering beneath the surface. Will Tyler and Eden be able to resist temptation?

Did I Mention I Need You? is book two in Wattpad sensation Estelle Maskame's DIMILY trilogy: three unforgettable summers of secrets, heartbreak and forbidden romance.

Much like the first book, DID I MENTION I LOVE YOU, I highly enjoyed this one. I love Eden and Tyler and I am loving watching their story unravel (quite literally) because it is so different than any other story I've read while still being so similar to the ones that I love at the same time. The DIMILY trilogy is shaping up to be one of my favourites.
I think one of the best parts of this series in my opinion, is that it IS a series. You see a lot of contemporary novels as standalones and it is kind of nice that this is a trilogy and that I get three whole books of Tyler and Eden because I love them. I think what I like the most about it is that this is Forbidden Love at it's peak but it isn't treated that way. It is treated as a typical love story where people who don't think they should fall in love, do. Which is actually quite refreshing.

I liked the new people that we met in New York a whole hell of a lot more than the people from California and I am secretly hoping that we are done with Tiffani and her drama. Because it is getting kind of old to have the same sort of thing happen: Eden and Tyler get close, Tiffani decides she wants Tyler, Tiffani tells Eden to break it off, so Eden does. Not that I am anticipating an easy time for Tyler and Eden, I just don't want it to keep being Tiffani that is standing in their way.

Other than that, there were a couple pacing things that I wasn't a huge fan of, including the weekend of watching Harry Potter movies, and the tourist attractions. It just seemed a bit like filler before the Main Events happened and I wasn't a fan of it. But it was kind of nice to see Tyler and Eden have some mundane bliss where they didn't really have to worry about what they did. I highly recommend this one.
