Goodreads

The third and final book in the international bestselling Maxton Hall series, now in English for the first time.

Can they save themselves? Or will they destroy each other?

Ruby is in Her worst nightmare has come true, and now Oxford and all her dreams that finally seemed within reach are at risk. Worst of all, everything points to James as the one responsible, even after everything they’ve been through together. Ruby thought that she had met the real James—the one who has his own dreams, the one who makes her laugh and makes her heart beat faster with a single glance.

However, after an explosive fight between the two, they discover a terrible truth. Together, Ruby fights to graduate, as James tries to clear her name at school. But that means once again James must challenge his father and his expectations for him. And despite everything, James still threatens to break under the obligations to his family. Ruby and James must ask themselves if the worlds they live in are perhaps too different after all, or if they can finally find a way back to each other.

If you haven’t read the previous books in the Maxton Hall series, STOP READING THIS REVIEW. You have to read this in order!

Save Us continues where Save You left off and it was explosive!! All Ruby has ever wanted was to go to Oxford, and now she might not even graduate high school. This leads to a huge fight between her and James. In typical high school drama, these two have been back and forth like a see saw. He’s a jerk, he’s the love of her life, he’s a jerk…Add in the poor rich boy vibes and sometimes its really hard to like James. But, he has these moments where he shows he is worth the effort. I did appreciate that both Ruby and James mature in this final book. It has a hard road to get there, but they both were able to recognize their flaws.

Since this is book 3 and the last of the series, there are other storylines to tie up as well, so there is a LOT going on! I love both Ruby and James’ sisters and they really enhance the story. Bottom line-I loved every drama filled moment of this high school love story. Its messy, immature, and a bit over the top. But, its also perfect and totally engrossing!

The audio for the series is great as well! If you are an audio fan, I highly recommend giving this series a listen!
