The Hawthorn Legacy (The Inheritance Games #2)

I have (mostly) patiently waited for MONTHS to read this book. I wanted to read it as soon as I found it, but then I saw it would have a sequel, which means cliffhanger, which means utter lack of control on my part. So, I made the mature decision to wait until the sequel was out to start.... The book? "The Inheritance Games" by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. The sequel? "The Hawthorne Legacy."

["The Inheritance Games ended with a bombshell, and now heiress Avery Grambs has to pick up the pieces and find the man who might hold the answers to all of her questions - including why Tobias Hawthorne left his entire fortune to Avery, a virtual stranger, rather than to his own daughters or grandsons.

Thanks to a DNA test, Avery knows that she's not a Hawthorne by blood, but clues pile up hinting at a deeper connection to the family than she had ever imagined. As the mystery grows and the plot thickens, Grayson and Jameson, the enigmatic and magnetic Hawthorne grandsons, continue to pull Avery in different directions. And there are threats lurking around every corner, as adversaries emerge who will stop at nothing to see Avery out of the picture - by any means necessary."]

I made a family tree for this duology...it didn't help. Like at all. At all at all. Even when I thought it had...it hadn't. Stupid fucking plot twists.

Also like (major spoiler alert in this paragraph), she didn't end up with the guy I wanted. I mean, even when nearly every single sign pointed to the other brother, I still wanted the other other one. For her. Sure...

This series was so fucking confusing, in the best possible way. Just like when you watch #KnivesOut (if you haven't yet, do it. now), when you think you know what you know, you don't know what you know. You really know shit all. It was great anyway. Like fabulous. I can't tell you what it was really about, I'm blaming my sick brain on that one, but read this duology anyway.
