Review: Yours Truly, Taddy (The Undergrad Years #2) by Avery Aster

[Eva Millien]

Blurb:

(Off Goodreads)

Jetting to Martinique for a modeling assignment with three of Europe’s hottest magazine photographers—Gustave, Fabian, and Leon—should’ve been easy, breezy beautiful. Never did I expect to look up and see a hole in the ceiling of our plane that was bigger in size than my Birkin bag.

Shit! We’re nose-diving toward Eden Island. I pictured how my New York Times obituary might read when I’m gone, “Taddy Brill, Manhattanite, dethroned descendant of the Austrian House of Brillford royalty, dies at age eighteen, penniless, unloved, and a virgin.” I swear this crap only happens to me. Suddenly, Leon pulls me with Fabian and Gustave. Adrenaline racing through me, our bodies clung as one. We prepared to…crash. 

The Undergrad Years is a New Adult contemporary miniseries about first loves, independence, and everlasting friendships. 

Reader warning: Contains mature content intended for readers 17 and up.

My Review:

The second book in the Undergrad series is a riveting and intense recounting of an intriguing part of a Taddy’s life.  Taddy’s easy breezy modeling assignment in Martinique turns into a torturous experience when she has to put up with three of Europe’s hottest magazine photographers and then the plane takes a nose dive toward Eden Island.

This fast paced plot keeps readers on their toes with suspense, drama and passion.  The author describes the story with well written scenes and details that capture the imagination and the strong compelling characters are easily related to and grab the reader’s attention from the very beginning.  The charismatic Taddy tells this story from her point of view and the reader gets caught up in the drama of her feelings as well as the events as they are happening.

Taddy is extremely attracted to the three French photographers, Gustave, Fabian, & Leon and it radiates from every page and the reader can practically feel her frustration.  There is a couple of really hot and steamy sex scenes, one takes place in the ocean, one on the beach and one in the bathroom of Eden’s castle and I’m not saying who with, how they come about and what happens afterward, you’ll have to read it for yourself and let’s not forget about the fantasies inspired by the three hot Frenchmen. 

Taddy’s best friends are with her of course and Blake, Vive and Lex as always add lots of their own spice to the story and their life.  The story provides some very intense moments as well as some humorous moments and snarky fun dialogue between friends.

Though a little short, I found the story to be fun and entertaining and I can’t wait to read the next one.

About Avery Aster:

(Off Goodreads)

New York Times, USA Today bestselling author Avery Aster pens The Manhattanites, a modern romance series of juicy melodramas multilayered on love, friendship, scandal, and drama to the hilt. As a resident of New York’s Upper East Side and a graduate from New York University, Avery gives readers an inside look at the city’s glitzy nightlife, socialite sexcapades and tall tales of the über-rich and ultra-famous. “I write about what I see in my metropolis that never sleeps–beautiful people on the quest for a passionate thrill,” Avery says. By and large, Avery’s characters are ripped straight from the headlines, speak their minds and always get what they want.
