So when betrayal and tragedy come in quick succession, Mikayla is completely destroyed. Suddenly, everything she loved and everyone she relied on are tragically, irrevocably gone. Jake, a handsome boy she just met, happens to witness her loss. With no one to turn to, Mikayla is forced to depend on this near stranger and his family, and he in turn is determined to take care of her. But Mikayla―thrust into adulthood with no one to guide her―is desperate to contain her grief and hide what she considers to be her weakness. Mikayla and Jake both want more, but despite their growing closeness and intense chemistry, she tries to keep her distance and protect her heart. As he does everything in his power to win her trust, Mikayla must choose between remaining alone and safe or letting love in. Revised edition: This edition of More Than This includes editorial revisions. Review: I more than a lot love this. There are no words - I’ve reread More Than This about 30 times and I still can’t figure out how I’m supposed to express in words how much I love this book. The first time I read More Than This I blamed my overly emotional state after reading to me starting the book at one in the morning and finishing around 3 in the morning. But every single time, I read it I fall in love with the characters all over again. The emotions don’t get any less intense each time either. That is true props to Jay McLean’s writing style. The storyline is unique and still devastatingly as well as fantastically emotional. I found the characters relatable not because I’m Filipino just like Mikayla is half or because they’re young like I am, but because they are REAL. They say things normal people would say, they’re realistic, fiercely loyal, and hysterical. I loved the alternating points of view between Kayla and Jake. “I know, it’s strange, and I know it might be circumstantial. Like we shared an expericne, and that somehow makes us closer, but, Lisa, Jake, he makes things hurt a little less. He… He’s home for me, right now. If being around him takes the pain away just a tiny bit, then it doesn’t matter how or why he’s here with me. I just… You can’t understand.” The story wastes no time getting into the deep emotions. The first scene showcases just how happy and close Mikayla’s family was. Then, she goes out for prom night and nothing is ever the same again. I was in shock. Talk about the worst night of her life. Everything as she knows it is gone. I can’t even begin to imagine what that must be like. First, was the ultimate betrayal. Then, she met Jake Andrews and his group of friends. She joined them for the rest of prom night and BAM insta-connection between Jake and Kayla. Gahhh. Then the rest of her life is taken away in a flash. With no one else to turn to Kayla ends up staying with the Andrews’. I adore them. They took her in, no questions asked. They helped her arrange everything after and when she almost couldn’t go to college they all helped with that too. “Loved ones. I think I do. Love her, I mean. I think I’m in love with this beautifully broken girl.” Mikayla is probably one of my favorite book heroines. Her situation seriously became messed up in the blink of an eye. But not once did she have thoughts of giving up. She never thought about taking her own life. I applaud her for that. She never tried to run or do something extremely stupid. I loved her. She’s smart, feisty, independent, adorable, and sweet. She accepts the hand she’s dealt and makes the most out of it. But, I mean, if I was given Jake Andrews too I would more than gladly accept. She doesn’t put up with any kind of crap, and I just can’t get over how awesome she is. “God, Jake, I so much more than a lot like you.” “Mikayla, I passed that stage a long, long time ago.” If there’s one thing I can’t resist, it’s a guy that isn’t afraid to speak his mind or go for what he wants. Jake Andrews is definitely one of those guys. Absofreakinglutely. His inner monologue cracked me up at times. He was so respectful, patient, protective, loyal, strong, sexy, and I just love him okay. I can’t list all the reasons. Oh, and that ACCENT. Good lord, I wish I could seriously hear his voice. He doesn’t ever try to deny the insta-love connection he has with Mikayla. He accepts it and her easily. He is a crazy talented baseball player, yet he is still very down-to-earth. Sigh. I can just go on and on about how he’s one of my top book boyfriends. “Because if I kiss you, then I’ll want to taste you, and if I taste you, then I’ll need to f*** yu. And when I f*** you, it means you’re mind. And when I make you mine, I want it to be in our bed. Not a hotel room… Is that okay?” So, basically there was nothing you couldn’t love about this book, Jay McLean is magical like that. I loved their circle of friends. They brought so much comic relief, like Drunk Lucy and Logan’s infamous one-liners. I was also really happy that they accepted her into their circle so easily. Most of the time I couldn’t decide if I wanted to laugh or cry during this book. It was that amazing. Jake and Mikayla hold the record for most non-kissing moments. It was ridiculous. They have burning up the pages kind of scenes and it made my panties melt. And their cuteness together made me swoon. Big-time. The concept of insta-love as it was portrayed in this book made me swoon. I want a Jake, Or maybe a Logan, after all, he does get a book next. This is a heart-felt story about love: family love, first love, young love, friendship love, insta-love, and forever love. It’s a story of picking up the pieces and learning to move on. It’s a story of living and leaning to seize the moment. ““Why should I be jealous?” I ask. He shrugs once. “Because I’m your Jake,” he smiles, “and you’re my Kayla,” he says. He’s my Jake. And I’m his Kayla. I like it. I more than a lot like it, so much more than a lot.” Review: Jay MacLean nailed the males point of view better than many others I've read - Funny thing about this book- I came across a few quotes on Goodreads​ for More Than This that immediately caught my attention. “Because if I kiss you, then I'll want to taste you, and if I taste you then I'll need to f*** you. And if I f*** you, that means your mine. And when I make you mine, I want it to be in OUR bed. Not in a hotel room...Is that okay?” And then I saw this... “He's not the heart and flowers kind of guy, but he's the heart and soul kind, and f*** if every girl would rather that than flowers.” And this just added to to my quick liking of this book by quotes alone. “We're testing each other. Seeing how far we can take this before something snaps. Most likely my d***.” I'm a total quote kind of girl. A blurb obviously peeks my interest, but seeing snippets like that are what truly reel me in. After I saw those quotes, I went to the reviews and found so many high rated ones (A LOT!) and I thought to myself, why haven't I heard of her before? So I bought the book. A few days later I started reading only for it to go downhill super fast. Like rolling and tumbling down so fast that I couldn't stop myself! I was so mad! How could I read the reviews and quotes and see so much love for this book and then read such a crappy story? A few days later when I went to pick the book back up (I had to set it down, it was that bad) I opened the book only to see it start from the beginning. I was so confused. I had no idea why none of the highlights wouldn't show up, why it wouldn't sync to furthest read page or why none of story looked familiar. And then it dawned on me. I was reading the wrong book. I know, I know. I'm such an idiot sometimes. I've never done that and couldn't believe I did! Once I started reading the CORRECT book I. WAS. IN. LOVE. Seriously, how are more people not reading this book?!! More Than This has it all! Sarcastic humor, emotionally draining angst, romance (could've used more in my eyes, but still...), a shocking and sad curve ball but most importantly, a moving storyline that left me wanting more! Plus, characters that we can all relate to on some level that were true to their age for once! I really just loved everything about this book. Of course there are a few things that I did take notice on that could've used some work... but in all honesty, I can't even bring myself to complain about them like I normally would. All the good qualities of this book surpass those little flaws. The best part for me? Jake's point of view. I couldn't get enough of it! In my opinion, Jay MacLean nailed the males point of view better than many others I've read! I mean, it was spot on how a guy would think, at least I thought so. Jake doesn't say things like ' it smelled of cinnamon peaches on a dewy morning in the mist of fall.' Seriously, what guy talks like that? Answer: Most males in fiction books. But Jake surely does not! And lady's? JAKE IS SO DARN HOT. Just thinking about him makes me want to read this book again. Oh, and not to mention, his friend Logan...*sigh* So I went back into my highlights to mention some of my own favorite here only to realize that I highlighted nearly the entire book. So now I won't be putting them in here. You know how some books you just connect with more despite some faults? Yeah, this book did me in. I realize all I'm doing is gushing, but sometimes I can't really help it. But then I got to the ending... Not a cliffhanger at all, but sweet Mary Mother and Joseph, I cannot wait for the next book! It's going to be juicy as a peach! More Than This is definitely one of my favorite books this year! Jay MacLean is an author we need to watch out for. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,572,734 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #923 in Coming of Age Fiction (Books) #4,177 in Teen & Young Adult Coming of Age Fiction #11,196 in Contemporary Romance (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 5,462 Reviews | ## Images ![More Than This - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AN5q7UgYS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I more than a lot love this.

Jay McLean, thank you from consuming me with this complete story of young love and so much more. It has everything; I don't think my review will do it justice. I was full of emotions reading this from hating, crying, laughing and loving. How much can a young woman endure? Mikayla (Kayla/Mickey) is your regular girl next door. Her boyfriend James is the love of her life, so she thinks. And her best friend, Megan, has always been by her side. Until Prom Night. Where she is betrayed by both of them. Both James and Megan ruin her and break her heart in the process. But all may not be lost as she happens to meet Jake in this heartbreaking situation. They have an instant connection to each other and Mikayla feels that she can really trust Jake for some reason. She decides not to let her ex and bestie ruin her prom and heads out with Jake and his friends. Jake is the star pitcher set for "big things". He can have any girl he wants. But he is attracted to Kayla in more ways than one. He is amazingly gorgeous, strong and manly for his age. He's sweet, giving, patient, understanding, strong and possessive. And he's attraction and pull towards Kayla is his undoing. He feels so connected to Kayla that he can't explain it as they have only known each other a short time. Putting her heartbreak behind her for the night, Kayla enjoys her night with Jake and his friends only to be dealt a traumatic turn of events that leave her without her family. Jake is there to pick up the pieces - will he be able to heal her heart? Will Mikayla ever be the same person she used to be? Will she allow Jake into her heart and bring her happiness once more? It is such a heartbreaking journey for Kayla, but Jake makes it that little bit easier to deal with things. Through her tragedy she bonds quickly with Jake. Their relationship is slow and frustrating at times, but each of them have their reasons for moving slowly as it is tainted with heartbreak and tragedy for Kayla and for Jake not wanting to loose Kayla for moving too fast after what she's been through. "Talking without speaking. Feeling without touching." I loved that it was dual POV. We get to see how each is feeling and what they are thinking about the other. It makes you want to scream at them both for not sharing their feelings for each other sooner. There is so much angst and sexual tension between them that it was hot and sizzling and maddening at the same time. They both wanted each other so much, and waited to move forward for their own reasons - which were infuriating and admirable at the same time. "Jake She's looking at me with so much emotion that I hope to hell that I'm reading her right, that the look she's giving me is telling me everything I want to hear. That she believes in Fate. In Love. In Us. Forever." The characters and their story are so well developed - you feel as though you really know them. The relationship that Kayla and Jake have is really just beautiful. Watching it grow from friendship to more was exquisite. Every one of the secondary characters (Logan, Lucy & Cam, Heidi & Dylan) are awesome in their own way. The support they are for each other and for Jake and Kayla is astounding. What they bring to the story is acceptance, friendship and love. So many times they made me laugh with their antics and dialogue. They were always there for one another. Jay McLean did a brilliant job and took great care of building this story and the relationships in it and she hit the mark with her depiction of their pain, sorrow, happiness and the intense chemistry that Jake and Kayla shared. A friendship that grew into so much more. A first love that became a forever love. "I more than a lot like you".
