Reviews for Easy

[tripsis_1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

booknook — Young Adult book reviewsThe first chapter I was raging at Jacqueline. She almost gets raped, an amazing white knight rescues her and offers to call the police, and she says "No I just want to go home." A man tries to rape you and you'd rather leave the scumbag out there to prey on other women?? I know I shouldn't judge almost-rape-victims, but ugh! She should have reported that guy when she had the chance!The next chapter, I was giggling. Giggling because Jacqueline is failing macroeconomics. I took that class in college and absolutely hated it to my core! I think I did pretty badly, but I didn't fail!Okay time to get serious. Easy was an incredible, heart-pounding, intense romance book that I absolutely adored! I don't usually read the Acknowledgements in books. If I love the book, sometimes I do, and that was the case with Easy. I'd like to share one part because I thought it was amazing and really shows how much emotion went into the book: I couldn't have written Easy without the help of my husband, Paul. The creation of good fiction begins with raw, honest emotions—whether the author is penning a story about a mouse who wants dessert, or a sprawling epic of Tsarist Russia. The subjects touched on in Easy come with an even deeper obligation to remain true to those emotions. Paul encouraged me constantly to fearlessly portray my love of hidden connections, and my belief that our close relationships with family, friends and lovers—any and all of those, if we're lucky—are capable of healing the trauma all of us experience in our lives.Tammara Webber, author of Easy Isn't that awesome? That's what I love about Easy. Tammara Webber put her heart and soul into this book and it really, really shows. This book is about love, rejection, loss, fear, trauma, and daring to fall in love again. It is so empowering in so many different ways. And Easy totally has me wanting to take some self-defense classes!It was so easy to love all the characters in this book. Lucas is a mysterious, drop-dead-sexy sweetheart; Jacqueline isn't perfect but she's sweet, vulnerable, but also has a little kick in her; and Erin.. I LOVE Erin! Erin is that "Best Friend" character that I absolutely adore in books! She's the fiercely loyal roommate, the roommate who comes up with "Operation Bad Boy Phase", and the girl who just had me flat out laughing.I made the mistake of starting this book later in the evening.. then I was so hooked that I was reading through the night. Soon it was 3:30am and it took every ounce of will power I had to put the book down and finally go to sleep!Jacqueline and Lucas have such incredible chemistry! It's mouthwatering.. it's HOT! Girls, it is FREAKIN' HOT! This is a new adult book so things do get a little hot and heavy.. and it's awesome. But it's not all just sexy lust. Lucas and Jacqueline had a really sweet relationship. I love the phase where Jacqueline isn't sure if Lucas likes her. The "not knowing" is so much fun! And since Jacqueline has a crazy rapist guy stalking her, Lucas really gets to play the "knight in shining armour" role and he gets to rescue her a few times. Swoon!Tammara, you are a freakin' mastermind genius! What I wouldn't give to read Easy from Lucas's point of view! "The night we met—I'm not like that guy." His jaw was rigid. "I know tha—" He placed a finger over my lips, his expression softening.""So I don't want you to feel pressured. Or overpowered. But I do, absolutely, want to kiss you right now. Badly."Easy by Tammara Webber, Page 89

So sweet and touching, really nice love story. The Lucas/Landon moments had me swooning. I didn't expect to love this book so much because I thought it was going to be too sad, but it was so "easy" to fall into.

This book is very well written in every aspect. It takes a very unsettling set of circumstances and weaves an important message throughout. Add in a touching love story, a bit of angst and anger, and a few risqué scenes and you have the perfect combination. All wrapped up with an incredible message of strength and determination that everyone should embrace. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

Most new adult novels which I have read are strongly love centered but this one is not and that is a very good thing. All other new adult books which I have read I read like a fairy tales but not this one - it made you feel like it is a real life or about someone's real experiences.

I mentioned earlier this week that I felt like that Live Through This seemed unrealistic to me in how the main character dealt with her rape and that it didn't seem to affect her enough. Easy seemed to handle it perfectly in my mind. I felt that Jacqueline is a completely realistic character that handled things like most any woman would. She was scared, worried, felt powerless but then she found ways to fight back and regain her power and gain control over her situation. I loved this book (and not just because Lucas was totally hot, smart and sensitive and all that jazz). I think Jacqueline is a wonderful main character and a strong woman.

I highly recommend this book and it is definitely a keeper.

[icemaiden786 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I loved, loved, loved this book.



It was real and genuine and didn't promote the same regurgitated twaddle a lot of YA novels tend to do. What I mean to say is, you could believe what was happening and yet still live in the fantasy. It didn't need mythical, unearthly, blood-lusting creatures in it. It was just too good for that- no disrespect to one of my fave genres (vamps and weres).

Jaqueline was an awesome character with depth, humour and a down-to-earth way about her. She wasn't over the top in her deepness, she didn't make you constantly question her actions because they weren't realistic. She made mistakes, and yet you understood why she made them.

She wasn't in the two main sterotypes of YA fiction. She was more, with many dimensions. She was a teenager and had a little bit of that serious, Twilightyness in her character but she was so much more than that. I think it's safe to say Tammara Webber scores high on the heroine.

The hero, Lucas, was also a believable character. He was funny, deep, interesting, mysterious, smart and loving, affectionate and sexy. But he was broken and far from perfect. He drove people (Jaqueline of course) away because of his own personal demons. His whole life since he was a young man has been consumed by guilt. Unwarranted guilt. And again you understand him and his reasons for being the way he is.

By the way I did know who Landon was the moment he was mentioned. But it made sense that Jaqueline wouldn't know because in real life, how could you when Lucas and Landon are two completely different people in personality? Until you start connecting the dots. So I wasn't screaming at her for not being smarter.

The storyline was interesting, focusing on the empowerment of women after being raped/attempted rape and the inner fears and demons of the characters.

I loved Erin because she stood by her friend, even choosing her over her boyfriend because of his 'bros before hos' complex. She made me giggle a lot and though she was the rowdy character, she wasn't labelled a slut at all. She was just a teenager, having fun, living life and full of bubbly energy. That was nice to see.

I also liked Katie, though her part was small. The way she defended Jaqueline and Mindi because she had also suffered at the hands of rapist and spoke out against all the guys and girls on campus who thought Buck didn't deserve to be sent to jail for his crimes. And the fact they didn't even believe he'd committed them anyway. I mentally patted her on the back for her speech and wanted to laugh in all those b**ches faces.

The writing was sharp, articulate, and well-paced. It didn't drag on and it gave the right amount of information with a balanced mix of dialogue, feelings and description.

I will read this again and again just because I enjoyed it so much.

My only criticism right now is that it did feel a little longer than necessary after Buck attacked her outside Lucas's house because I expected it to end not long after that. But after reading it I realized that actually, those extra pages were needed to make it a truly sweet feel good ending. The kind that makes you smile long after you've finished it.

Thumbs up for me and 5 out of 5 stars.

Tammara Webber’s young adult/new adult contemporary romance Easy is, easily, one of my favorite reads this year. Highly recommended by fellow bloggers and other reviewers on Goodreads, Easy has been on my wishlist for a couple of months. Finally, Thanksgiving weekend, I took the plunge and purchased it. After only a few chapters I was engrossed in a story that resonated strongly with me, and when I finished I knew this novel would be on a couple of my Top 10 Lists at the end of the year.

Easy jumps right into deep waters, opening with Jacqueline being sexually assaulted by Buck, who she thought was a friend. Only a timely intervention by a young man named Lucas saves her from actual rape but, shaken by what has occurred, she refuses to file a report (she does have her reasons, even though I can’t agree with them). Suddenly she is seeing Lucas everywhere – working at the campus Starbucks, sitting in the back row of her econ class, etc. – and finds herself intrigued by him. But Lucas has some secrets of his own that have him blowing hot and cold, leaving Jacqueline uncertain if a relationship between them is even possible. As their relationship slowly deepens, however, Jacqueline finds herself harassed by Buck who is determined to finish what he started. It is up to Jacqueline to learn how to defend herself before it’s too late.

What I loved most about this book is that while an extremely serious subject matter is the spark for this story the focus is really on Jacqueline – moving on with her life, starting a new relationship, finding support in unexpected places, and gaining inner strength. She’s learning and growing throughout, starting with the realization that she is where she is because she followed someone else’s dream and not her own. Now she has to find a way to navigate her life and school without her ex-boyfriend Kennedy beside her. The relationship she embarks on with Lucas has twists and turns, builds slowly, and ultimately makes her stronger because he has no interest in making her an “accessory” the way Kennedy did. While I didn’t agree with Jacqueline’s reasons against reporting the attack, I could understand how a 19-year-old would feel the way she did. She learns a lot over the course of the novel, including solid self-defense techniques (something every young woman should learn) so that by the end she can stand strong and fight – both against assault and for a relationship with Lucas.

And then there is Lucas – secretive, sexy, and supportive. I fell for him just like Jacqueline did. Understanding, artistic, intelligent, and apparently holding every job available on campus (Lucas’s multiple job titles are almost a running joke by the end) – I mean, what’s not to like? I loved that he had secrets and that, while I was able to figure out the smaller one he had, I had no clue about the major one he was still carrying – a secret that ends up defining his character and is the basis for all his actions throughout the story. I loved his hesitancy when he and Jacqueline finally became intimate, and I adored the way he was always encouraging her to be her best. His relationship with Jacqueline is so balanced; she draws strength from him and, by the end, he is drawing strength from her. It is a relationship worth fighting for.

Webber paints a very realistic picture of campus life with its sororities and fraternities – and those students who are outside of those rarefied organizations – which brought back memories of my college days and dorm mates. I even had a roommate who had some similarities to Jacqueline’s roommate Erin, including the same name (yes, my name is Erin, as well, which always led to confusion when the phone rang in our room and the caller asked for “Erin” without knowing our last names ). Speaking of Jacqueline’s Erin, she is an awesome character. Like Lucas, she supports Jacqueline and encourages her to stay active in college life; not to sit around and mope after her break-up with Kennedy. When Jacqueline finally breaks down and informs her of what happened the night of the party, Erin is fierce in Jacqueline’s defense. Seriously, the support system she provides Jacqueline is fantastic and made her one of my favorite characters this year.

As the description above states, Easy is geared to mature young adults/new adults (the publisher recommends 18 ) due to the subject matter; if you have a younger teen interested than I would suggest you read it first to gauge if your teen is ready (read it anyway – you’ll love it). I will note, however, that this book is not too graphic and the way Jacqueline handles herself as the story progresses (taking a self-defense course, for example) is something many young women will connect with. While I don’t approve of her initial reaction NOT to report the crime, the majority of sexual assaults and rapes do go unreported so her reaction is, unfortunately, all too natural. A list of assault and rape victim resources are provided at the end of the book, as well.

Tammara Webber’s contemporary romance Easy threw me back to my college days with the story of a young woman who grows stronger and finds a healthy, loving relationship after a bad break-up and an assault leave her shaken. Told in a relaxed, natural style by Webber and featuring well-defined, relatable characters, Easy is a very easy book to fall for.

[beforemidnight-1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

My brain exploded from awesome.I just spent a week reading books that were, at the end, so disappointing. I was so, so relieved that there was absolute closure for the end of this one. Perhaps that’s why I liked it so much.The writing in Tammara Webber’s Easy flows so well. It moves easily from scene to scene, and the shift of time is barely noticeable. The story jumps right in, doesn’t hold back, and I found myself wanting to know, badly, whether Jacqueline and Lucas work out.Speaking of characters, I really wanted to like Jacqueline. At some points, I was cheering her on, and at some points I really wanted to ask her, “are you serious?” both in her defense and at her. I think a lot of my problem is that I have a hard time identifying with female characters, mostly because so many of them are non-confrontational and sometimes I really just want them to stand up and say, “enough!”Eventually, Jacqueline gets there, but it’s a long road for her. By the time she’s there, though, I really appreciate her as a character, so there’s that. I was really glad to see that, in her progression to get to where she needed to be as a person to be happy with her life, there was little to no back-sliding.There was, however, one instance where I really didn’t like her. She digs into Lucas’s background once she realizes Lucas and her econ tutor, Landon, are one and the same. She googles him, his mother, asks the econ professor (who is a family friend of Lucas and his father). Everything she can to glean information except going to the source–Lucas himself. I really don’t go for that kind of thing, and it really made me dislike her, so Lucas’s reaction when she finally tells him was so reassuring. It restored my faith in the author. I figured if the author could write Jacqueline into this hole, surely she could write her out of it, as well.Lucas was such an intriguing character. I really, really liked him. At some points, he comes across as more wish-fulfillment than real, but at other times he’s so human. He lies to Jacqueline to protect her, just because he wants to be with her. His motivations are purely selfish in this instance, and I can’t really say anything except, “I don’t blame him.” I rooted for him, all the way. Especially when he comes through for Jacqueline not once, not twice, but thrice (haha), in big ways.Of course, I wouldn’t get by reviewing this without talking about the other characters, in particular Erin and Kennedy, as well as the Greek system. Erin is Jacqueline’s roommate, and while she isn’t initially honest about the assault that happens at the hands of Kennedy’s frat brother, Buck, she comes clean when rumors start circulating that she’s getting down and dirty with him. Erin signs them up for self-defense classes that are held by the campus police.I, personally, loved Erin. She was such a party girl (and an embodiment of many girls I went to college with), but she held such love for her friend that she was willing to sacrifice her Saturdays to go to self-defense class with her. I also adored her lust for doing bodily injury to an attacker, particularly in the groin area. But what really made me love her was her insistance that Jacqueline be present when Mindi, a freshman pledge in Erin’s sorority, must sit before the sorority and talk about Buck raping her at a party. Erin is so protective of both Jacqueline and Mindi that I really, really just wanted to be her friend and cheer her on at self-defense classes.Kennedy was… You know what? He was a grade-A jerk. What made it worse was that he came across as such a Nice Guy (TM), but in reality he was an ass masquerading as something he wasn’t. He breaks up with Jacqueline (Jackie to his Kennedy) in order to be able to sleep around, and then almost two months later decides that it wasn’t such a good idea and wants to get back together with her. He decides it’s enough punishment that Buck is removed from the fraternity after it comes to light that not only did he assault Jacqueline after the Halloween party, but that he raped Mindi. Jacqueline hands him his own ass on a silver platter for that one, and goes with Mindi to make a police report. I couldn’t believe the nerve Kennedy had, to assume that getting kicked out of a frat was enough punishment for having the nerve to violate someone’s personal space, make them feel unsafe in an environment where they should feel okay, and basically let him off with a slap on the wrist.Overall, I really, really enjoyed this book. Yes, I would totally recommend it, especially if you’re looking for a quick, contemporary read.

WOAH. This book was way better than I thought it would be. This is my first "new adult" novel but I was not disappointed...okay well...I would have liked to see the "all the way" but I understand that "behind closed doors" is part of the genre. I loved how the author took a serious issue and created something to advocate for the victim without making the book feel preachy...even though what she would preach would be the truth.

I loved this book. The passion between Jacqueline and Lucas as electric and I loved every second of thier angsty romance. I predicted both the middle twist with the characters and the end twist with the plot but that didn't mean it made the book any less. I was still awed, excited, and outraged when the moments arrived.

This is an amazing book, I look forward to more great reads from Tammara Webber.

[gwendolyngrace · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I really liked this book. The story was very believable, and the characters were well developed. I actually liked the main girl character for a change. I didn't give it 5 stars only because it was a little too subtle in the declarations of love department. Call me crazy but I need the heart racing, make you want to puke kind of love confessions even if it's only said at the very end. It's sort of like the cherry on top! For now my sundae is incomplete, however the story was still very yummy!

4.5 stars. I have had this book on my TBR list for a long while now and it was calling my name. I ended up devouring it. I really enjoyed watching this story unfold. I thought the emails and texts were great. I loved watching both characters help each other heal. Tiny bit predictable but a great book overall.

[schatzi_5 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

So, basically, I needed a book like this in my life right now - something uncomplicated and readable and maybe a little addicting. And this book was all of those things. It was a little formulaic - college brooding bad boy has a secret smart side and a bad past meets innocent college girl who just got dumped by her boyfriend. There's more, though - Lucas' past is downright painful to read about, and Jacqueline actually grows as a character throughout the book. Plus the definite anti-rape theme is good, and it's repeated throughout the book that it's not Jacqueline's fault that she was assaulted and nearly raped.Altogether, not a bad way to spend a few hours. I even downloaded the next book in the series already. ;)

[olongbourn · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Not five-stars for the writing... too obvious inconsistencies and poor transitions (and I am not one to usually notice them, being wrapped up in stories, even when reading works of new/unknown authors). The story and the message/lesson and the characters themselves (not just Jacqueline and Lucas/Landon, but also Katie and Benji) carry the five-stars. This will become a must-read for my daughters, probably in high school and definitely before college. Girls/women MUST remember what is acceptable behavior of boys/men. This is a great tool to get the message across to support the discussions I expect to have with them. Sometimes a book hits a message home where a lecture may be tuned out!

Tammara, do a little cleaning/editing, but do not change the story! Your characters are good, solid, wish-I-were-friends-with-them-in-the-real-world.

[annannean-1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Phew! I finished this book in one whole sitting which was something I haven't done recently! Well, Easy easily convinced me to just lie down and kick back to enjoy one hell of an emotional ride. The characters play major roles in this story where each one contribute significantly. There were interesting back characters but the H&H together completely blew me away. Something in each character conveyed their sense of emptiness and their need for understanding. That was pretty all that linked Lucas and 'Jackie' but their bond was strong. Lucas, the perfect candidate for OBBP, was a rebel. He sported tattoos, scars, a thin silver lip ring, and some crazy art skills. He fits the job description perfectly for Jacqueline's rebound. And guess what? He's actually interested in her too!
But then of course, there's the big elephant in the room where Jackie's almost raped which gives her trust problems. Add to that Lucas's emotional gap and shady history. This whole brew of college feisty drama blew up. But the results? It was delicious. This is the epitome of a great contemporary that worked. The themes were powerful and makes me anticipate my own future college experience.

Reader's Caution is Advised.

[dawn94-1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I liked this book, but didn't love it the way that so many others seem to have. The story was good, but I never felt emotionally involved with the characters. I will probably read Lucas' POV when it is released though.

[tarklovishki · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I can honestly say that Easy was by far one of the best books I have read in 2013. If I was to make a top ten list of books I have read this year, this book would doubtlessly be somewhere in the top five.

Easy is an emotional book. As a woman, I can really relate to it. Not that I've ever been raped, or almost raped, but because I have felt the fear of the unknown when I step outside my door at night.

What I love most about this book is that it's real. Rape is a real issue in our society. Women are often blamed and shamed whenever they speak out about rape. Easy deals with such a controversial topic with the delicacy it requires. There is no victim blaming in this book, unless you count the narrow-minded characters in the book that blame Jacqueline for what happened to her.

Jacqueline is a very likeable, flawed human being. She sticks up for herself, refuses to go back to her ex-boyfriend of a few years after he broke it off with her for reasons that'll make you want to punch him in the face, and when she is being threatened, she uses her brain to get her out of dangerous situations.

One of the best characters in this book is Erin. I swear that I had to put the book down and just do the weird fangirly wriggle of pure love whenever Erin was just being her usual badass self. I fucking love the way she reacts when Jacqueline tells her what happened to her, and how she never once blamed Jacqueline.

Then we arrive at Lucas.

LUCAS. PRECIOUS BBY.

This is one of the few male protagonists that I actually fucking love. He is just this flawed, intense, wonderful person. I connected with him, I empathised with him, I wanted to hug him and press kisses to his forehead and pinch his cheeks. Can we have more male protagonists like him please? I'm tired of the tall, dark, handsome and stalker types. More men like Lucas, please!

I strongly urge anyone who hasn't read Easy yet to buy yourself a copy somehow. Don't borrow it, buy it. Trust me; you'll want it on your shelves for years to come.

Jacqueline, hasn't been having much luck lately, after fallowing her boyfriend of 3 years to the college of his choice , a very different choice to the one a gifted musician like her self should go to, he breaks up with her only a few weeks in to the semester.2 weeks after the split, still trying to make sense of it all, she goes to a Halloween party only to end up the victim of an attempted rape and the accused none other thank Buck, a friend of her best friends boyfriend. Luckily a stranger is there at the right time and manages to pull Buck off her, and drives her home making sure she is safe.After skipping classes for 2 weeks, the first class back is Economics. One she not only happens to share with her ex Kennedy, but sits right next too. Unable to face him just yet, she takes one of the empty seats at the back, only to notice her knight in shinning army sitting bored and sketching. Jacqueline knows one thing for sure, she may not have noticed him before but now she can't take her eyes off him.In a bid to help her catch up with her missed work, her teacher assigns her a tutor. A smart, funny guy named Landan. Due to a hectic schedule, the tutoring is strictly email only and Jacqueline soon finds herself falling for not only Landon but Lucas(her knight), someone who is now suddenly everywhere. Love triangles are not the only thing she has to worry about, Buck just wont seem to get the picture and leave her alone, and Kennedy doesn't know if he made the right decision. After coming to the conclusion that things will probably never happen between her and Landon, Jacqueline sets her sights on Lucas. She soon finds out its not going to be as easy to catch this one as she had hoped.My thoughts? I loved loved loved this book. The characters were so well written and thought out that I was heart broken when it ended. Jacqueline is not perfect, but she tries to right her wrongs , she's strong minded and determined and I think a brilliant example for young women reading this book. Hell I think the book in general is. This books shows its ok to fight back, that we shouldn't just accept the love we think we deserve (yes... yes I do relies I just stole that line from The Perks of Being a Wallflower. But sadly I don't care). It shows its ok to want to get back out there after you get your heart broken, and it doesn't automatically make you a slut.I just really really loved this book. And Lucas?... don't get me started on him. I'm pretty certain he's one of my favourite male characters for the past year or so.

[readerspeak_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

New adult novel Easy lands the reader right into the college scene, where hookups are important and economics class not so much. The main character, Jacqueline is reeling from a recent long-term relationship breakup and is not ready to move on when Lucas, smoldering Starbucks barista rescues her - in more ways than one.I was initially impatient for the story to move beyond what felt like YA (just graduated to college with steamier scenes). As the story progressed, I became more interested, partly because Webber layered Lucas with his own history that helped make his character more realistic.Satisfied but not surprised by the ending, I would recommend this to girls near or in college. Without giving away what happens, Jacqueline's story is important for ANY girl to read so she can understand how to react when she, (inevitably, unfortunately) finds herself similarly attacked.

[debbie97462 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This was good but the ending was a little anticlimatic for me.

[pamzaragoza · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I freaking love this book I don't even know what to write on this review. It's an absolute must-read and would totally recommend it to others! It's filled with pure and raw emotions. Both the main characters have demons to face in order for them to finally let each other in. What they both went through really wasn't easy and requires a whole lot of effort. Cheesy as this may sound, but they're love and devotion for each other helped them get through the obstacles in front of them.

Another reason why I love this book is the instant connection I had with it. Probably because I could relate to a lot of parts of this story and those parts of the story made me delve into the past and broke my heart in both good and bad ways.
