The cities of the world might have inspired her, but her entire being is content and at home in a gorgeous, small pinned dot on the map of Melbourne, Australia where every beat, crack, and scar of her heart has influenced the way she tells her stories.

Okay so I have to start off with saying I might have sent the author a bunch of messages in the middle of the night. I was kinda worked up about this book so I'm not even sorry. I was angry typing!!!
This book is told in past and present tense and we get both POVs. We finally get to know what caused AJ's decision at the end of book 1. By 4% my chest was hurting. By 20% I was anxious. By 40% I was a mess. I kinda wanted to junk punch Evan at points and wanted to hug AJ for most of the book.
Evan and AJ have been best friends forever but that changed when she fell in love. This book gives us the inside story into the moments that tested them. The moments that broke them. The moments that they both realised who they really were to each other and exactly why AJ didn't go to Stanford.
“Please, wait for me,” he begged in a small voice, eyes wide with fear and hope.
Sniffling, she moved her hand from his thigh to wrap around his wrist, her thumb brushing against his pulse. “Do you love me enough to warrant me waiting?”
I loved the back and forth. I loved the pain and out of control YA emotions and I absolutely loved that Evan finally spoke up. It was always there.
Eight protons.
Eight neutrons.
Eight letters that spell I love you.
Some truths are revealed, some wounds are healed but there's definitely more to this story and with it ending on a major cliffhanger I absolutely CANNOT wait to see what the future holds for these two.
I received an arc of this book.

"Sometimes, soul mates take time to realize it's love. And sometimes, soul mates need to be lost in order to be found."
After finishing TToU I was so glad I could start with TStU early. Only to realize at the end, I yet have still to wait until I get to know what life has in store for AJ and Evan.
"Evan is the truck. I am the car. Life is our distortion."
TStU is a slow burn, compared to TToU. Yet still a great read. But it stills feel like you are in between stories and even though a lot happens on the emotional side, it feels like there is kind of a lack of action. Not that this book needs so much more action. You as a reader have a lot to deal with. However we get to know more of AJ's and Evan's past, what happened with them during their last year of High School.
"Oxygen. The eighth element on the periodic table. Oxygen creates life. It is life. You are my eight."
Every time I find myself getting annoyed with AJ or Evan, I have to remind myself that they are still underage and only looking for their way in life. Again, Len did great work here, continuing with the characters as the children they still are. As we get more from what's currently happening in AJ's life her character development is more in focus. Yet I think she has a lot more potential and I really like to see where life will lead her.
"Because Evan might think he was her oxygen. But what Evan Gilmore didn't know was that he was arsenic to her soul. The poison to her heart."
Len was also right on writing Evan the way she did. He and his love for AJ is still kind of a mystery and I found myself in the position questioning it. I'm not so sure if he really understood what it means to love AJ the way she loves him and the way she deserves to be loved. He will have to prove his love in the third book and I am sure we continue to be up for further broken hearts like mine now.
TStU is a wonderful 4 star sequel which tries to mend your broken heart from TToU only to leave you with more questions and as an emotional mess, wondering if AJ and Evan will ever get the happy end they obviously deserve.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

“Every time I said those four words— eight protons , eight neutrons— I was telling you that I love you. Eight . The chemical number for oxygen. Eight. The number of letters that spell I love you.”
When I decided to expose myself to different stories. I never knew I would find a series I would love as much as I love The Science of Unrequited series by Len Webster. This series has everything I want in a book. Amazing characters that move you. Scenes to make you bleed and steal your breath. An unforgettable plot to make you swoon. Ever since, I exposed myself to Len Webster's writing, I fell head over heels in love. I felt in love with the youthfulness and energy of the writing. I fell in love with the fresh and emotional words that cascaded my heart. I started with The Theory of Unrequited which catapulted my heart. But it was The Solution to Unrequited that caused a wrecking ball to crash into my heart. The Solution to Unrequited enchanted my soul. Ahhh, my heart broke. My soul cracked open. And I felt the shards piercing me. Cutting me. I tell you, this book really held me tightly until every single word till the last page wrapped me.
The Solution to Unrequited is the second book in The Science of Unrequited. This is not a standalone book. You need to read The Theory of Unrequited first. The Solution to Unrequited was a beautiful story. My heart broke. I cried. I felt the hurt and love vibrating in my soul. This book made me a mess. This book made me experience how painful love is. Love is absolutely devastating. Love is selfless. Love is abundant. Love is unconditional. The joy of it. The sadness of it. The hopeless of it. Absolutely fleeting. Soul Shaking. Soul Wrenching. Stunning. The Solution to Unrequited is a slow burn romance of reacquainted love. A story of rebuilding love and friendship after hurt and pain. A story of finding each other among the heart break. Len Webster strokes you with her words. She lays your heart bare. The Solution to Unrequited is a beautiful story of young love that faces obstacles and triumphs that you cannot imagine.
A.J. and Evan are probably one of my favourite YA/NA couple ever. Their love is deep. Their love mends. Their love breaks. I hurt for them. I cried for them. I swooned for them. And I cheered for them. These two are epitome of soul mates. They still got a lot of growth, They still got a lot to learn. But my oh my, I am addicted to them.
A best friends to lovers story that will grip you till the last page, The Solution to Unrequited is the perfect romance you will need.

The Solution to Unrequited, the second book in The Science of Unrequited series by Len Webster managed to completely obliterate my heart. Even a day after finishing this story my heart is in the pit of my stomach and I am still trying to catch my breath after inhaling this new chapter in AJ and Evan's complicated journey. Once again we see their past and present intertwining so effortlessly that you are on the edge of your seat in anticipation. I found myself deeply invested in every aspect of their story and I was wholeheartedly captivated by the intense emotion that these characters brought out of me.
AJ and Evan's beautifully complicated story revealed some truths and my heart painfully ached from all the angst that I experienced while devouring every phenomenal word. This slow burning story had me in tears and I was a blubbering mess right now. I am so abso-freaking-lutely addicted by this extraordinary tale and that cliffhanger at the end left me in shock! While I am sad that it took me so long to pick up these books, I am also so glad because I don't have to wait too long before diving into the next book!
Len Webster your storytelling is incredibly captivating and you make me fall more and more in love with these characters after each story. I can't wait to see what the next book in this series has to offer...which I am about to find out because I am gearing up to dive in head first...RIGHT NOW!

I am so invested in both the story and characters of Evan and AJ so much so that at times I found myself having to remind myself to breathe.
To be honest both of them frustrated me so much, I was screaming at them on my head to just talk to each other but then I remembered their ages. Of the two I found myself questioning Evan's feelings for AJ the most. Does he really love her ? Does he even know what love is? I hated how as we saw in book one he took her so much for granted, how selfish he was. There are lightbulb moments when his past actions smack him in the face but can be be redeemed. Watching AJ flounder and flourish on her own is quite empowering and was a part of the story that is a great example for young women everywhere.
Another fantastic book in what is turning out to be one of my favourite coming of age series.

Argh this book is so good! Len Webster completely takes you on the journey that broke AJ and Evan during high school while simultaneously following them as the find their way back to being AJ and Evan. I was so rooting for Evan after The Theory of Unrequited, but to be honest, I'm not sure where I stand on the two of them anymore. This is such a great young adult/new adult book. The angst level to turned up to 10. This whole series is a must read for me. The only drawback is having to wait for the next book. (Review by Terri "Jane")

****ARC Received for Honest Review****
This series has been my undoing and I don’t know where I stand or who I am rooting for….I am waiting with baited breath for the next book to come out now because Len Webster weaved such a great story in book 1 and now in book 2 in the series titled The Science of Unrequited.
I don’t want to give anything away, so I will just let you know that this is not a stand alone, reading the first book is a must and you would be doing yourself a disservice by not reading the first one, because you miss all the complexities and intricate details of AJ and Evan. This series will take you on an emotional journey of discovery, friendship, first love, lost love, unrequited love, long distance, rediscovery and new beginnings. There may be tears, in the book and with the reader, but there is a sense of something endearing and innocent, that keeps you invested in every single word and page.-Review by Catherine(Catty)

Oh my poor defenseless heart!
Have you ever craved the answers? Like you needed them so much you begged the author for the next book? So much need, longing, and love for two characters that you twitched to have the answers?
But let me ask you, when you were desperate and needy for those answers did you fear the results? Because I found once The Solution to Unrequited hit my kindle I actually backed away in fear! Legit, heart clenching fear. I was terrified of The Solution to Unrequited. And even having read it, I'm still afraid. (Wan smile) I am afraid that this story is going to continue to break me.
Fear shouldn't hold you back though. And in the end, I let it back me into a corner. I had no other choice and I'm glad I finally found the courage to continue AJ and Evan's story.
The Solution to Unrequited will answer the questions tearing you apart after The Theory of Unrequited. #WhatHappenedAtPromEvan? Will he find her? Will they move on? What about Connecticut?
But don't break out the champagne just yet! The Solution isn't the end of this story. Len Webster has plans to torture us even more. So angst lovers, love lovers,and needy people who like to cry- buckle in its going to be a bumpy ride!

I was anticipating this book for a long time! I had read The Theory of Unrequited and absolutely loved it! I couldn’t wait to read the second book mainly since the first book ends with a cliffhanger!! The second one lived up to the first one. We finally find out what happened at prom and it’s a heartbreaker. Evan was very selfish in high school and took advantage of his best friend’s feelings. But to be fair AJ never really told him outright about her feelings. She would hint at them but like a typical teenage boy Evan never got the hint, even though everyone around them knew! Just like in the first book I love that AJ is such a strong female lead. She realizes when it’s time to take her own life in her hands and find out who she truly is on her own. She may have hurt Evan but honestly they have both hurt each other over the past year. Now we have another long wait for the third book in the series, The Results of Unrequited. I can’t wait to read it!

I received an ARC of this book from the author and I voluntarily reviewed it. Thank you Len Webster!
This book helped me fall for Evan. Not fully and completely though. Fight me, I’m still #TeamConnecticut. The feels in this book were amazing and I loved the science aspect of it yet again.
Eight Protons. Eight Neutrons.
Man that’s precious.
We learn more about Evan and AJ’s past, and I cannot wait to see what happens when she gets back to Duke.
The back and forth between Evan and AJ does get tiring at times. Especially since I’m not 100% sold on Evan, which is why I only rated it 4 stars. Landon is mine!

I liked this second book in this series less than I did the first, but I admit I'm still curious to see how the story will unfold on the third book.
In my opinion the heroine got even more wishy-washy. Every she was justified to feel just seemed to disappear and suddenly I felt like for her she was also at fault for how her best friend treated her before.
I was hoping to see some growth in her, because on the first book I thought she was very immature. But no, she seemed to got worse.
The two characters I actually like in the story (Kyle and Landon) appeared very little in this installment and I hope to see more of them on the third, specially Landon, because I feel like this book was just a "filler" and nothing really happened.
Unfortunately it didn't impress me.

ANGST ANGST ANGST! I love it. I crave it. I honestly have no idea why. Because it leaves me in a terrible way. It wrecks me and puts my heart in my knees and I go through a huge imbalance of emotions for days. But holy cow I love it.
Book 2 was even better than Book 1!!
PROM. Seriously. PROM. KILLED. ME.
Now I know why Alexandria had to make her choices. And I love her so much for it! And I hate Evan so much more for it! How could he? How dare he? And honestly, how could he ever make it up to her?
But my goodness does he try!!!!!
These two. My heart cant take much more of these two. I need happiness and rainbows please!
And now I have to wait for book 3 and its going to be complete torture!
I do have one serious question that I feel like I need answering because that one thing did not jive well with me. I dont want to spoil, and I am not even sure if I want the answer, but a "first" is torturing me right now!!!!!

Len Webster beautifully captured a story of unrequited love and had my heart in my throat as I read the continued story of AJ and Evan! God, the angst and love and heartbreak shattered me. Her writing is amazing and the past and present flowed together seamlessly. Did I want to throat punch Evan? Yes!!! But in the end I remembered that they’re still young and have so much to learn. I’m addicted to this series and can’t wait for more!!! Loved it!!! ❤️❤️

Review to come when I'm not a mess. 😭
June 28, 2018
This series is about to do me in...Couldn't stop reading!!! OMG!!! Is there a 10 star button?!?! All I can say is 8 little letters!!!
Have you ever given away your whole heart?
Loved selflessly. Unconditionally. Unrequitedly?
To the point where you no longer recognized yourself because you've given away everything to sustain a one sided love affair?
At what point do you break? At what point do you reach bottom and finally begin to dig yourself out of the hole you've been living in?
At what point do you begin to say enough and put yourself first?
How do you mend a broken heart when it no longer belongs to you?
AJ/Alex/Alexandra was finally happy, away from Evan, the boy who stole, crushed and never knew he had her heart. Unrequited love is what sent her to Duke, North Carolina, instead of Stanford, California.
AJ and Evan were living on opposite sides of the country instead of together. Attending the same school, BFF's, in each others lives forever.
Evan was currently attending Stanford, without her. The last email she read stating his hatred of her for deserting him, deserting their plans, and leaving him all alone. Solidifying the final nail in their friendship coffin.
AJ knew she'd sever their friendship when she decided to break their college plans, but she also knew she could no longer stand by his side pretending she was just his friend when she felt so much more.
She had to discover who she was without Evan by her side and he'd never let her go unless she left the way she did.
So when Evan appears outside her Duke dorm room door AJ doesn't know what to say. He wasn't supposed to find her. She was supposed to have more time, but she also knew, deep down, that she'd eventually have to face what she'd done.
But...
How do you repair something that was so fractured. The relationship that was so obviously unrequited? How do you really explain why you did what you needed to do to save yourself?
A trip home for fall break is all Evan asks.
A trip home to repair what damage was done.
She believes it's repair their relationship back to status quo.
Evan has another idea.
Evan needs this trip.
He can no longer breathe without AJ in his life.
Evan wants this time to tell AJ how he really feels.
What he really means when he tells her she's his oxygen. What he was too chicken to say out loud before they left for school.
8 protons. 8 neutrons. 8 little letters.
Have you ever given away your whole heart?
Loved selflessly. Unconditionally. Unrequitedly?
To the point where you no longer recognized yourself because you've given away everything to sustain a one sided love affair?
At what point do you break? At what point do you reach bottom and finally begin to dig yourself out of the hole you've been living in?
At what point do you begin to say enough and put yourself first?
How do you mend a broken heart when it no longer belongs to you?
AJ/Alex/Alexandra was finally happy, away from Evan, the boy who stole, crushed and never knew he had her heart. Unrequited love is what sent her to Duke, North Carolina, instead of Stanford, California.
AJ and Evan were living on opposite sides of the country instead of together. Attending the same school, BFF's, in each others lives forever.
Evan was currently attending Stanford, without her. The last email she read stating his hatred of her for deserting him, deserting their plans, and leaving him all alone. Solidifying the final nail in their friendship coffin.
AJ knew she'd sever their friendship when she decided to break their college plans, but she also knew she could no longer stand by his side pretending she was just his friend when she felt so much more.
She had to discover who she was without Evan by her side and he'd never let her go unless she left the way she did.

This is the second book in the series and book one needs to be read first.
Alexandra “AJ” Parker is attending Duke University after missing out on getting her application into MIT in time. She has realized that her dependence upon her former best friend, Evan Gilmore, was too much and she had to live her own life even if that meant leaving him behind.
Evan Gilmore is lost without his best friend AJ but due to his brother, Kyle, he has finally located her and will do anything to get his best friend back.
Now Evan has a proposition for AJ in order to get their friendship back on track and that means driving home to Massachusetts but he never anticipated Connecticut. Can Evan get everything back on track or will he lose AJ forever?
Wow – I was really looking forward to this second book and I had my opinions firmly in but I knew there was a chance that this book would end up swaying how I felt about certain characters, especially Evan.
I really liked AJ and I loved that she finally began living life for herself and not putting others in front of what she had to do with her life. I loved the friendships she began to form, especially with Savannah and I was curious to see if anything was going to happen with Logan. Yet AJ still had so much guilt with her past and it made me so mad!
So at the beginning of this book I really was not happy with Evan at all from the first book. I was curious when this book began if I would change my opinion or not. I think for the most part my opinion stayed close to the same although I could see that AJ’s opinion differed than mine. I hated that he was still mad and guilting AJ for choices he made and things like what happened at Prom made me so angry!!
I loved that the two were able to get through some of their biggest hurdles but I still feel like some issues were never dealt with completely. I wasn’t surprised about Connecticut at all as I knew it had to happen and I was happy for AJ. That being said the end was a little shocking but not surprising.
I was super excited that there is to be a third book to deal with everything that happens due to the end of the book and I know what I want to happen but we’ll see if it is what happens! - By Rebecca

I'm flabbergasted right now with this series!
I didn't lie when I finished The Theory of Unrequited and said I was going to dive in to The Solution to Unrequited because that's exactly what I did.
The story continues with Evan and AJ. She has decided to attend a different college to get away from the one person who has hurt her the most in a way that she doesn't think she will ever feel.
In the meantime, Evan is going crazy trying to find out which college AJ has decided to go without telling him. He's beyond hurt that she would do this to him, to them. He thought that they'd always be Evan + AJ, but it turns out that it isn't like that. But now that he knows he's lost her, he knows what he has to do in order to find her and get her back.
He needs to confess to her how he really feels for her. He was afraid that if he ever expressed his true feelings to her, he would lose her and it seems like AJ felt the same way. But AJ always gave him subtle hints, he was just too blind to see them.
Will AJ and Evan be able to forgive each other and move forward or do they need a lot of work in their relationship to make it "really" work between them.
The problem here is that these two kids have been friends since the day they were born that they never thought or expected to develop romantic feelings for each other. But as they grew up and hit puberty, things started changing between them, they just didn't know or were too hard headed to realize it. But what really broke AJ completely was the day of prom and that did it for her to finally make the decision that would change their friendship forever.
I am completely and utterly in love with Evan & AJ. This New Adult series has me completely hooked and I can't wait to get The Result to Unrequited because obviously there is a ton of work that needs to be done between these two and I want to be there every step of the way to find out how this will all work out.
5 STARS!!

Review Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
“Freedom = Hell at Duke...but someone DID make her smile”
I received an Advance Reader Copy for THE SOLUTION TO UNREQUITED (Science of Unrequited, Book #2) written by Len Webster and voluntarily reviewed this book. One unforgivingly memorable night, when things were finally going to go perfectly for AJ, it all had gone most terribly wrong, and she was never the same after that.
It was with a heavily shielded heart that she chose to attend Duke, and it was with the same sentiment that she turned her back on the promise to attend Stanford with Evan. Finally, Evan manages to glean some information on the whereabouts of AJ, when everyone had gone radio silent, and he rushes right over to her campus to see what he can salvage, because he realized that he was never going to be whole without her in his life.
It was really the hardest thing AJ ever had to do, be away from her huge supportive family, but she was able to eek out her own way, where no one knew her all. She was even beginning to open up her heart and begin to be hopeful for a future, but with “Connecticut” in the picture, instead.
Evan and AJ have many issues to name before working though them, but they must be dealt with because their faith and trust in each other has been shattered. They agree to drive home for her break, to begin working on them and to see where it will lead, an adventure all on its own which begins to draws out honesty and truths. Honestly, AJ has had some many males willing to throw themselves at her, but she does not see anyone beyond Evan, the one guy who has been the least supportive and unworthy of her devotion until this point for all his treatment and regard of her in the past. I am hoping for a lot of closure for these two and hope that they will be able to move on from this as well as an HEA for AJ with whomever most deserves her love!

I have read every book by Len because sometimes I just need pure romance. I liked the first book better, and to an extent I wish this book could be about true unrequited love because it does exist yet it is not as well represented in literature. As much as the reader wants to see the two characters together, the reality of our world entails that it may not happen for multitudes of reasons such as distance, lack of communication etc. We need love stories that don't have solutions. However, perhaps it is not my place to say what the plot should be. In terms of the actual writing, I did find it to be a fairly easy read, perhaps too simple for my liking. It's fairly descriptive in that this happened and that happened, it could have more depth than that.
I am also in a place in life that maybe a simple love story no longer appeals to me as it did in my teenage years. Despite the criticism, there are certain elements of the story I appreciated. The stress of college applications for one is quite relatable and I think more emphasis could have been put with additional perspectives. I also appreciated that there were several positive consent related conversations and the issue about relationship with minors/media exploitation was addressed. I did find that the story played on some problematic cliche's, there was one line in particular that really kind of pissed me off. I think it said something along the line of Evan finding AJ more attractive because she hadn't kissed anyone else but him. It really played on this idea of female purity or commitment being desirable which from a feminist perspective is really an overused and problematic idea. Overall, I'd say read this book if you just want to escape into someone else's love problems, but don't think too critically because you're bound to feel annoyed.

This continuation of the Science of Unrequited series is really good! Len Webster once again takes us on a journey of young love and all the crazy and complicated that comes with it. We pick up right where we left off with Book One and I was completely engaged from the very first page.
We get alternating POVs once again as well as past and present so that now we get the whole story as to why Evan hurt AJ so badly back in high school. The angst, the longing, the emotions are sky high as AJ and Evan desperately try to put the pieces of their friendship back together. It's not an easy journey but I was thrilled to see that Evan finally took off his blinders and saw AJ as she saw him. Not as just his best friend but as his true soul mate.
These two still have so much to figure out and the Author certainly takes her time in letting them not only see the light but in keeping it burning. Both AJ and Evan show a new maturity by being away from each other and finally realizing just what they both need to do in order to go forward.
There are some great secondary characters who I look forward to seeing more of and I am anxious to see where AJ and Evan's road may lead them. Hopefully it's together but something tells me their happiness is far from being truly settled. There are a ton of extraneous factors that need to be figured out and as much as I love them being together, AJ on her own was a pretty good thing as well. I want her to keep that sense of independence and surety in herself. Fingers crossed Evan can take that and help her flourish. Time will tell!
Bring on book 3!!
4 solid stars!

I have been waiting for this book since I finished The Theory of Unrequited, and now I have to wait for the third book...NO! Aj and Evan have this deep love and connection and yet, both seem to hurt the other. We go back and forth between present day and senior year of high school. We finally find out what happened at PROM. And man was I disappointed in Evan. And I think, why didn't AJ say anything about her feelings, but then I also get it, they are young and she doesn't want to ruin the friendship. But in the case of PROM, he was 100% in the wrong and I have AJ's back and a part of me wishes she could move on with CONNECTICUT. But she can't...her heart won't let her. But why is she dragging out with him if she wants to be with Evan?
We have to remember as we read these are still two young kids and they are trying to navigate life. Not much overall happens in the modern day for most of the story, it is them trying to navigate the NOW and I need to see how things go from here. They are in different places, and with out this ends, can they move on or are they destined to be together.
The writing is superb and you can't help but feel the connection these two young people have for each other and you just want them both to be happy. This series really does such you in and you cry with AJ at Prom and you cry with them both as you watch them navigate how things went so wrong.

"The hardest part of being in love with someone is finding a silver lining in the pain you endure for them."
I couldn't put this book down!
I was so eager to see what AJ would decide about Evan and her college plans that I ignored everything else just so I could finish this book. I almost thought I would have to die of frustration at one point, but then Len Webster restored my faith and I was able to breathe normally again for some time.
This angst-riddled college romance truly does justice to terms "young love". I became invested in AJ & Evan's story from the start because I know what unrequited love feels like. The tears, the pain, the jealousy and finally the resigned acceptance - I know it. My heart hurt all over again for AJ, as we're treated to a much deeper, emotional ride in this installment. Evan is in pain, too, as he realises that his mistakes have taken away some of his dreams forever.
I know that the couple had a lot of issues to sort through, but I really had no idea there would be a third part to their story. I was happy to see that AJ was finally maturing and realising that loving a man didn't necessarily mean giving up yourself for his happiness.
I'm definitely up for the ride that Len Webster has offered in her The Science of Unrequited series.
I voluntarily read & reviewed an ARC of this book.

Wow – I was really looking forward to this second book and I had my opinions firmly in but I knew there was a chance that this book would end up swaying how I felt about certain characters, especially Evan.
I really liked AJ and I loved that she finally began living life for herself and not putting others in front of what she had to do with her life. I loved the friendships she began to form, especially with Savannah and I was curious to see if anything was going to happen with Logan. Yet AJ still had so much guilt with her past and it made me so mad!
So at the beginning of this book I really was not happy with Evan at all from the first book. I was curious when this book began if I would change my opinion or not. I think for the most part my opinion stayed close to the same although I could see that AJ’s opinion differed than mine. I hated that he was still mad and guilting AJ for choices he made and things like what happened at Prom made me so angry!!
I loved that the two were able to get through some of their biggest hurdles but I still feel like some issues were never dealt with completely. I wasn’t surprised about Connecticut at all as I knew it had to happen and I was happy for AJ. That being said the end was a little shocking but not surprising.
I was super excited that there is to be a third book to deal with everything that happens due to the end of the book and I know what I want to happen but we’ll see if it is what happens!

I’m so unsure on this book, I feel like I’m on some weird balance board and I don’t know if I just liked it or if it was just ok. I’m struggling with Evan. I’m almost at the point where I think they both need a break from each other and need to see the world and explore. They’re so young and I adore AJ. She’s a good girl and is totally gaga over Evan… I’m just not sure he’s ready for her yet. Or even understands the feels yet.
I’m so thankful that we get both POVs, otherwise me and Evan would have major issues. I’m still just so unsure of where his mind it at. I also thought this was the end of the series or AJ/Evan’s story. So I’m a bit let down that I don’t get the ending really. I’m still hopeful that Evan and AJ will take a break and grow up a bit. They could be so great together… I can totally SEE it. I’m just iffy on who is ready for what. I might have been more ok with how this book went if people weren’t being as wishy washy.
I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

Read and reviewed an ARC copy for an honest review on behalf of Everything Marie http://everythingmarie.com
Ok! Ok! Ok, I am just ughhhhhh why! That ending..... ahhhhhhhh!
The Solution to Unrequited is the second book in this series. You must read book one The Theory of Unrequited- this is not a stand alone! You got to see what really happened in the past getting to this point as well!
Evan and Alex stole my heart and then left it in pieces! I can’t go on knowing what that ending means! I need book three stat!
So book two- Alex is in her new college trying to forget about Evan, her best friend, and love of her life! She left without a trace so he would never know where she is..... that is until finds her! She agrees to take a road trip home for fall break to see if they can fix their friendship! Their love is stronger than anything and they find forgiveness in each other! I hope their love survives! That ending grabbed my heart and crumpled it (Good and bad, happy and sad) not knowing! I don’t think I will survive if it doesn’t lol
This series is absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend it! I feel sorry for who ever does not grab it and experience it! Eight protons. Eight neutRons.. ❤️

If I wouldn’t have been in love with AJ and Evan after the first book, I’m sure as hell would have been by now! The Solution to Unrequited is just perfect. I fell even more deeply in love with AJ and Evan. Their story is turbulent and passionate.
I was a sobbing mess half of the book. My heart broke for AJ and Evan. To read more about them, their past and their mistakes was just heartbreaking. And now that Evan finally (FINALLY!!!!) found AJ it is so beautiful, yet hard to read what they go through now.
It is very rare for me to love a book this much but it was impossible to resist AJ and Evan. Their love and friendship for each other is just more beautiful and heartbreaking than I ever expected and I am head over heels in love with them.
“I’m not Evan without you, AJ. There is no Evan Gilmore without Alexandra Parker. You are what I love most about us.”
Evan is just the best! I am so in love with him!! I could totally relate to him. He’s broken without AJ – his oxygen. And it was just heartbreaking to read his parts. #teamEvan
And AJ, she’s just so sweet and unsure how to save her relationship with Evan without him knowing she’s in love with him. It’s been a long way for her and my heart broke for everything she and Evan have to go through.
I am deeply invested in this story and I’m dying to know what happens next in AJ and Evan’s life. They definitely took a place in my heart and fall 2018 is just too long away to find out about their ending.

So that's what happened at prom. Wow, I cannot believe that Evan was so insensitive. A small part of me thinks he felt bad, but at the end of the day, he didn't really care about anyone but himself. Yet there are definitely times when it's obvious that Alex is the most important person in his life. He just doesn't know how to prioritize her until now, when he's had to live without her. As for Alex, I adore her but she is just too nice and forgiving sometimes. However, I can see that she is more guarded and wary, too. Evan has his work cut out for him if he wants to prove that he can be who Alex needs him to be. I'm not convinced yet that he's that mature yet. He's still got a very selfish side to him that hasn't grown up and understood what true loss and sacrifice means. But I am curious to see if he can develop into a guy worthy of Alex someday. In the meantime, Alex should just go about the life plans she's already made since she's had to modify them as it is because of Evan, and in the end, she has lost so much. So I'm totally rooting for Alex to do whatever it is that makes her happy or to reach her goals or achieve her dreams and that Evan is just a peripheral distraction to all of that.

Eight Protons.
Eight Neutrons.
This has come up to be my favourite confessions of all times.
TSoU is a slow paced sequel to TToU. The story doesn't move forward much, but rather deals with the emotional turmoil.
I truly love Len Webster's writing. It is addictive.
BUT, the story was a bit.... monotonous.
Yet, it is amazing how her writing manages to invoke so many emotions, all at once. At one moment I am sitting, almost hating Evan for not realising it sooner. But in the next, I am forgiving him for everything. I believe him when he confesses, and I can't believe him for what he did on the Prom Night.
See what I meant when I mentioned the emotional havoc?
I am a reader that goes for stories that make me feel . Which is why I think I love reading Len Webster's books. TToU could be a 3-star read, but I'd give it 4 for the tsunami of feelings it gave me.
If you have read TToU, I would suggest you to go ahead with the sequel. You deserve to know the story. You owe it to AJ.
(After all, I did stay up till 5.30am reading it, haha)

"The next time he kissed Alexandra Louise Parker, it would be with honest lips and truthful touches, with whispers of love and belief in their future together."
This quote was the best, heart-clenching line I have read in a while. This author's amazing writing skills had me literally holding my fist to my mouth holding in the "ahh, how so very sweets..."
Being in an omniscient POV, I found myself wanting to make AJ see how Evan really felt about her. To have her be quiet and listen to what he was trying to say, but I know that was the author's intent. To have the reader feel the frustration AJ feels.
I have been waiting for this book since I finished The Theory of Unrequited, and upon finishing The Solution to Unrequited, I find I am going to have to wait for the third book. I got to 96% and was begging for an epilogue. I did not anticipate it continuing into another book. I'm not unhappy about that though. I am looking forward to seeing where this great back and forth love/ friendship will end and I am not ready to let AJ and Evan go yet.
