Three Sixty A Companion to Small Circles Megan Duke 9781484864999 Books Reviews

OH MY GOODNESS...this was amazing. I am so happy I finally got to read this. I loved Small Circles, and I was wanting to find out what happened after to novel ended. Three Sixty is the perfect companion to Small Circles..it really is...I just wish it was longer! I don't ever want to stop reading about Pax, Audi, and Larson. I love them and I never want to stop reading about their journey through life.

I love how Megan Duke writes...love it. Her stories aren't typical stories...they are real. They are stories that almost everyone can relate to in one way or another. People have experienced the love or pain or insecurities that these characters have faced. And their endings are perfect. The characters don't all have a perfect happy ending at the end...and that's okay. Megan shows us in these stories that its okay. Its okay to make mistakes. Its okay to mess up. Its okay to not know who you are or confused about what you are feeling. Its normal. And even when you make mistakes and you think your world is falling apart...you can always start fresh or "make a three sixty" and come out a different, better, person on the other side. That's what I love about these stories. Three Sixty made me feel hope and the knowledge that it is possible to go through the hard times and the struggles. Its not always going to be easy and that's okay. That's what I love about what Megan Duke writes. Her stories give us hope. She gives us hope.
If you liked Small Circles, I recommend reading Three Sixty. It's told mostly from Audrina Ashby's perspective, and throughout the story we learn how hard it was to watch herself get pushed out of the group of friends while Paxton and Jade fell in love. More importantly, this book follows Audi's struggle to figure out who she is, sans Paxton.

I loved that. In Small Circles, Audrina was "the other girl" who had developed a dependency on Paxton over the summer, and had become his crutch when he needed one. When Jade came into the picture, Audrina felt threatened, and her confidence turned to insecurity, which came off as near-hatred. But in Three Sixty, we see Audi as she is full of life and sass, still hurting over Paxton and Jade being in love, but trying to get over him, difficult as that may be.

A lot of things happen around Audi in this book, but also to the other characters. Paxton is struggling with his addiction again, Jade has a revelation that could put her and Paxton's relationship in jeopardy, someone new is introduced into Larson's storyline, and Jade's younger brother Carter comes to visit.

Ah, Carter. What a horrible little douchewaffle, isn't he?

And yet, Carter is not mindlessly horrible for the sake of being horrible. His actions are abhorrent, yes, but like any well-written antagonist, he has motives for acting the way he does. We've seen a bit of what motivates Carter, but hopefully in Infinite Limits we'll fully understand what makes him tick.

Poor Larson. After Owen's death in Small Circles, he needed someone to talk to who hadn't lived through it, unlike the rest of his friends. Fresh eyes. So he reconnected with an old friend from his childhood... SILAS! Silas and Larson hit it off, and I love everyone's different reactions to Larson being with someone else. Audrina is happy for her brother, and "interrogates" Silas to see if he's good boyfriend material for Larson, while Jade feels like Owen's memory has been betrayed.

I thought Three Sixty was an amazing follow up to Small Circles. There was character development, and plot twists, and references to the previous book. I'm really excited for Infinite Limits to see what happens to everyone.
Warning!!! I would suggest with utmost certainty that you read Small Circles before reading Three-Sixty because many things that happened in Small Circles IS mentioned in this book. So if you do not want to be spoiled or completely confused then do not read this book yet, read it eventually.. after you have read Small Circles If you have read Small Circles, then yes, please read Three-Sixty. Enjoy!!!

I am so happy and thankful that there was more than one book in this series by Megan Duke. In the past I have read books that are written from the third person’s point of view, which for me, makes it somewhat difficult to connect with the characters. However, in Megan’s case, she does such a flawless job in the way she writes. She has an impeccable ability to draw readers into the story where you feel as though you are with the characters every step of the way.

I love the way in which this series is divided up. Instead of chapters, she divides her books by years (Small Circles) and months (Three-Sixty). There are some books where the chapters feel as though they are too short or just wayyyy too long-at times where you flip through the book just to see how much is left in the chapter. I never did that once in both her books. Doing this gives a very unique perspective into what occurs in the characters lives throughout the novel. Yes, this book is small, only 125, but there is so much that occurs during their summer spent together.

I really enjoyed (or not so much-you will get that comment only if you’ve read Small Circles) that Megan incorporated events that occurred in Small Circles, as well as events that predated Small Circles.

Just like with any other book that I have rated 5 stars (yes, I know I rate mannnyyyy books with 5 stars), your emotions will be bouncing around like a ball in a pin-ball machine. There were parts where I laughed, smiled, became frustrated, and even cried…

I really liked how this book included more of Audrina Ashby, who was introduced as one of the supporting characters in Small Circles. In Three-Sixty you experience seeing Audrina in a different light, especially regarding her relationship with Paxton. There were aspects of Audrina that I enjoyed, she seemed care-free and nice-mainly to her brother and his friends, BUT when it came to what was going on between her and Paxton, I was very frustrated with what she was doing. I felt that she was being extremely selfish in her actions and could not let things go. I understand that Paxton was the first guy in her life that really meant more to her than just friends, but sometimes things don’t always work out the way we expect them to. We have to learn to just move on and let it go, because you never know when another opportunity will come by. (I’m ranting, I know, but she was really frustrating me!!).

The new characters that were introduced in this book was Carter Walbridge (Jade’s younger brother) and Silas McFuller.

First, lets begin with Carter… let’s see.. how can I put this nicely… I ABSOLUTELY HATED THIS KID! Yes, emphasis on KID! Right away I could sense that I wouldn’t be a fan of him, and lo and behold.. I was right! He was arrogant, smug, and immature. There were so many moments where I honestly wanted to hit him upside the head a few times due to how he was treating people.

Now onto Silas McFuller. I don’t want to go into too much detail about Silas because I don’t want to spoil anything. Let’s just say that Silas was a great addition to the storyline and is a breath of fresh air-especially for certain characters in the series. And his character kind of reminded me of Simon Lewis (LOOKS WISE!).

The ending of this book was what took this book on a whole new level. It was absolutely and emotional and left me completely stunned after reading it.

There are many surprises in Three-Sixty that will literally leave you having to pick up your mouth up off the floor. Reading this book has really made me anxious to get my hands on Infinite Limits, the third book in the series. And of course this book shows you that it’s “ok to be happy” Megan Duke.

Again, I can’t say it enough, you really absolutely need to read Small Circles before reading Three-Sixty!!

I hoped you enjoyed this review!

Happy Reading!
OMG THIS book was solo good! This was just as good as Small Circles By Megan Duke! I love All the characters, wish there could be more...
