The Next 365 Days: A Novel (3) (365 Days Bestselling Series) Paperback – September 27, 2022

Contains some spoilersOnce they were printed in English, I read all three books and at this point saw all three movies, with book three coming out not long before the third movie. I was hoping that the third movie would follow the third book in content because this book was, in my opinion, the best of all three. I wish they would go ahead and make a fourth movie based on this book ending. We all were entranced with Massimo's character in the first two books. Although we never question Massimo's love for Laura in any of the books, we do acknowledge that his treatment of her is, at times, over the top but in this book he really flips the switch. He develops even more serious control and addiction issues and his treatment of her becomes despicable! We met Nacho in book two and we acknowledged Laura's dilemma in that book, but like Laura we were trying to hold out and give Massimo a chance to redeem himself. That was not to be. Once we got into the meat and potatoes of Another 365 Days and Massimo was at his worst, we see that the story turns and the author pulls off a real stunner, She was able to turn us around to fall in love with Nacho! From there the love story of Nacho and Laura shines in this book and it is romance at its very best! I enjoyed this book the most of all three. Kudos to the author and I will definitely read more books written by this author.

(((Deep breath))) Ok, so this is the only book in the series that I gave 5 stars. I gave the others each 4 stars. I so wanted Massimo’s personality to be the lighter side, but in the end, his dark side was his dominate side. Throughout the book, I would get frustrated with Laura, but then when I would remember what she had and was continuing to endure within that same original 365 days, I would quickly end my judgement. I didn’t realize there were movies of these books, so I started watching those too - and although they only loosely followed the books, I was drooling over both actors playing Massimo & Nacho. Holy hot Italians!Anyway, when reading other reviews (before reading the series), I wondered how the author was going to flip the script so-to-speak to reveal the depths of Massimo’s ugly and bring out the greatness of Nacho, and I have to say, she did a great job. As in the earlier books, I wish the narration had dual points of view, but overall, very well done. I couldn’t put these down.

This trilogy has been a ride. I'm not sure if it was a good one or not, but I think I'm glad I took it? Each book, which I've read before watching the corresponding movies, have sort of been mediocre, but they are also slightly addicting. Not quite a guilty pleasure, but still mostly entertaining.Throughout the trilogy, I have really not liked Laura. She seemed whiny and bratty, and all around too immature. Even the author didn't seem to like her, saying in the Author's Note at the end of the book, "Massimo, as you can see, is not perfect or flawless, and Laura is stupid." I can't sum it up any better than that!But I will say, the prologue kind of put me off this book, but a few chapters later, I started to figure out that this series was going to go the way of A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. And I think that by the time I got to this book, I was here for that type of change, because previous characters were just not working for me as they were. I feel like things ended the way they were supposed to, and by the time we got there, I actually could almost tolerate Laura.I do think this last book was my favorite of the series, and that likely had to do with the Hero, he was by far the best of the cast of characters, closely followed by Olga and Domenico. I would love to see them get their own story, even though it seems like it was pretty much already told. They just seem like a more interesting couple.

I loved the trilogy! Like the author said, it is not saying that rape and Stockholm Syndrome is okay, but it was an amazing way to talk about it, a very graphic example and the way she describes everything made me see the “real picture” very interesting trilogy.

Great ending to a great series. This last book did not disappoint. Sitting on the edge of your seat throughout the ups and downs. Beautiful ending!

Great book, have the whole series

Laura grew up a tiny bit. Mission showed his true colors. Nacho proved to be the better man. To bad the movie won't tell this story. Why do authors let people do that to their books.
