I really feel like this series is a written version of a telenovela or soap opera. SOOOOOO much dramatic, toxic love jam packed into 3 books and the "happy ending" is kind of rushed, while some of the drama is rather infuriating....but, as usual in these books....you become ADDICTED and CAN'T STOP READING. I've been anticipating this book since I finished book 2 and despite how her actions were interpreted by Nick, NOAH WAS A VICTIM. I was CERTAIN that that would be acknowledged in this book....but no--she is villainized so so SO much and NICK's heartbreak is seemingly the main focus while Noah works tirelessly to make herself "worthy" to get him back and then, when she feels it's too much and tries too move on--HE WON'T ALLOW IT and she finds herself in another situation that she can't get out of--once again, under Nick's control and at his whim. Yes, I believe they have chemistry.....but that doesn't mean they have to be together. Thank goodness this is fiction. So it works. But if this was a real story about my friends--I'd be BIG TIME mad. But since it's fiction--I'll relax and just enjoy the drama.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC of this book in exchange for a review. So I really enjoyed the first two in the series and I was over the moon when I got the email saying I got this arc. I loved it. However, I flew through it up until around 65-70% after that the story felt really rushed, huge time skips. I love Nick and Noah but I wish the last bit of the book wasn't rushed. I would have loved reading more about what Anabel is going through, how Maddie is adapting, etc. But up until that point it was at a perfect pace.
Our Fault is, sadly, the series ending. After the gut wrenching ending to Your Fault, I was really hoping that Mercedes could find a way to bring Nick and Noah to the ending they deserved. After a year of being apart, with each dealing with their breakup in totally different ways, they are suddenly thrust back together.
This emotionally charged finale had me so very engrossed in the characters. While Nick still has to learn how to deal with his toxic behaviors, and Noah learning how to live with past trauma, I think that together they represent a lot of other current day relationships - growing together through difficulties.
Throughout the 3 books, I have grown to both love and hate Nick and Noah. Yet seeing how their story ends truly left me feeling at peace with them.
Thank you to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books for this early copy in return for my honest opinion.

Nick and Noah are everything. I love these books. Your Fault destroyed me and Our Fault put me back together. If you’re hesitant to read this series, I beg you to try. It’s full of drama, angst, smut, and everything in between. The plot is fun and the characters flawed. It’s such a great read.
I always wanted to read this story. Last summer, I watched My fault and I fell in love with with Noah and Nick. So I devoured the two first books and here I am with the last one.
Noah and Nick made me go feral with their storyline. I was so scared that they are going to have a bad ending but it wasn’t like that. I love how they grow apart and their character felt more stronger. I love their character development. Well done.
Overall, I enjoyed their story. It wasn’t the perfection, but I liked it.
I have been provided with a review copy of Our Fault from NetGalley for an impartial review. I just loved getting to enter this world. I just loved getting to meet these characters and see what they are currently getting themselves into. This book was just a really fun read. I just lost myself in this great story and I didn’t want to put it down. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
The finale of the series
the heartbreak i went through
the feeling of closure
I love the series so much i couldn't put it down
The movie made me fall in love with Noah and Nick. I never read the first book but I did read the second book which I absolutely loved. Unfortunately I didn't like this one at all. Nick was kind of insufferable, a lot of red flags were never addressed and I hated Noah's unexpected pregnancy. Such a shame because this book had such great potential but it left me very disappointed.
I am so in love with this series and was so excited to receive an early copy! As Nick and Noah navigate the tumultuous waters of their relationship, they're faced with challenges that threaten to tear them apart for good. Ron expertly delves into the complexities of love, forgiveness, and second chances, weaving a narrative that is as suspenseful as it is sizzling. The chemistry between Nick and Noah crackles with intensity, drawing readers into a forbidden romance that defies all odds. With each page, the threads of their past are untangled, revealing secrets and traumas that threaten to unravel their connection. 📚❤️ #OurFault #MercedesRon #CulpableTrilogy #Romance #YA #BookReview
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the e-arc in exchange for my honest review!
Easily my favorite of the series. I was hoping for a way to have Nick and Noah's story end without it being completely predictable and this was most definitely it. Book 2 ended on such a heartbreaking note I wasn't sure exactly how Mercedes would end up bringing the story full circle and make it a sound ending and it was done very well. The angsty back and forth dragged my heart through the mud, as anticipated, but it was so worth it in the end. I will say, it was a tough battle for me surrounding the initial reconciliation but, to be honest, I am not sure why I expected any different. The toxicity of this couple has been blatant and apparent through every book and I still couldn't put it down. Co-dependency and mistrust at its finest. This is very much a Tess and Hardin situation all over again but I loved it. 3.5/5 stars
I feel like it's a bit telling that I thought this was the second book and accidentally read it before Your Fault but didn't realize until the end because the plot holes just seemed normal to me? Honestly, I didn't hate it, but I just consistently disapproved of every single action and found it unmotivating to read most of the time. I know it's translated, but the writing just wasn't it for me because I couldn't stand how pitiful Noah seemed sometimes. I wouldn't recommend this series to people, but I might watch the second movie.
This book is emotionally charged. I experienced a range of emotions, from tears and laughter. I eagerly followed Nick and Noah's relationship, intrigued by how they navigate challenges. Although their love was strong, there were nail-biting moments.
Characters have some toxic behaviors and they still needed personal growth, given the trauma they endured.
Still loved it all the way
Considering that I have a love and hate for this trilogy, I enjoyed it!
At first glance, their relationship was very toxic, lacking in trust and continued emotional dependence. The ending surprised me a lot, but it made me open my eyes to the prospect that there really was a lot of love between Noah and Nick. Even though Nick is a very toxic person, he has made an effort to get into the best shape, and Noah has learned to grow personally and is not so dependent on him. All in it was a good ending to the three books.
This one was just okay, and I gave it 2.5 stars. Nick and Noah frustrated me a lot during this series, but I did root for them to work out. Although they were quite toxic together, and I agree with other people, that they probably should have worked on their trauma, and focused on themselves as individuals before, trying to get back together. I wasn’t a huge fan of the pregnancy trope to get them back together, it gave me mixed feelings. But overall, it was a satisfying enough ending to the series, it just wasn’t my favorite out of the other books.
Thank you NetGalley and Bloom Books for the ARC!
<i><b>”Nick was the one; he was my other half, and now I'd have to learn to live without him.”</b></i>
It took a little bit for me to get into “Our Fault” but once it did, Nick and Noah’s love story took control of my heart. I was in so many emotions and had moments of sad tears to happy tears!
Noah really matured and evolved throughout this series and I was so happy for them to finally get their happily ever after!
<b>Thank you to NetGalley, Mercedes Ron, and Bloom Books for the chance to read and review this e-arc in exchange for an honest review! All thought and opinions remain my own.</b>
Mercedes Ron’s writing always leaves me feeling a certain kind of way after reading her books. Just like the first novel, this one is equally emotionally charged. I cried, laughed, wanted to toss my kindle across the room and sobbed some more.
I was thrilled to see where Nick and Noah go next in their relationship and how they navigate the hardships within the pages of the book. Their love, in my opinion, was already rather strong but there were moments where I was biting my nails the quick.
Through the toxic behavior, I still definitely sat there cheering them on. They still needed to work on themselves, by all means, with the trauma they endured. The drama? Definitely stuff I would have dealt with in my 20’s and in my young adult years and comes off still quite relatable.
Thank you to Bloom Books and Mercedes Ron for the eARC!
Réédition anglaise de la série A Contre Sens, Your Fault regroupe les tomes 3 et 4 et Our Fault les 5 et 6. Comme j’avais beaucoup aimé le film mais que le livre My Fault ne m’avait pas franchement convaincue mais je voulais voir ce que la suite pouvait offrir et je reste sur mon sentiment du premier tome après avoir enchaîné ces tomes… Certes, l’histoire est assez addictive, les chapitres sont courts et pleins de rebondissements mais le soucis, c’est clairement les personnages que j’ai trouvés immatures au possible, j’ai eu envie de les claquer ou de les secouer à plusieurs reprises dans ces deux tomes. Certes, j’aurais pu abandonner mais je voulais vraiment me faire ma propre opinion et puis le début de Our Fault était plutôt bien parti mais ce n’était que pour mieux replonger derrière…
En bref, une série que j’ai lu, qui clairement ne m’a pas marqué mais je regarderais par curiosité les adaptations sur Prime

I really loved this book. I do not usually read just romance books like this and I read the first book and loved it. And I was so happy to read the second book. The teenage drama was very entertaining
An enjoyable read for a young adult. This book is full of teenage/young 20’s drama. Main characters lack depth. Nice end to the series though.
