My Not So Super Sweet Life is quite different than the previous two books, but I adored it all the same. Gone is Reyna's gypsy magic. No one is traveling back or forward in time. Instead, we're following Cat again and her new boyfriend Lucas. Cat is preparing for her dad's wedding, but then her birth mother drops back into her life. Cat has no idea what she wants, and she's wary of this sudden attention. While a part of Cat does want a relationship with her mother, she's braced for "the other shoe to drop" and accept some closure. Meanwhile, Lucas is completely head over heels for Cat, and is worried about letting her down during this emotional time.

The tone of My Not So Super Sweet Life is more serious than the series has been, but I still really enjoyed it. Cat learned a lot about herself when she traveled back to the 16th century, but now is time to put lose lessons in action. She's sprung into the spotlight thanks to her mom, and it's really getting to her. She dares to hope that her mom is really there for her, but that woman is awful! I was so sad for Cat! She does not deserve that! Luckily, she has Lucas there for her, but she does revert to old habits and begins to push him away, even though she's terrified he'll leave her. Of course, he doesn't! Lucas is such a sweetie!

If you have not started this series yet, you really need to! My Not So Super Sweet Life was the perfect conclusion to Cat's journey. We see her go from closed off from new people to having a wonderful group of friends and family. She also helped her "distant" cousin Alessandra become the woman she longed to be, and Less returned the favor when Cat needed support. It's just a very sweet and fun series and deserves so much more love!
