This movie was a great watch, really, I’m not trying to bash it. Though the heartwrench I received after watching it LAST year I am still dealing with and just the poster makes me cringe.
The movie begins with Logan and Xavier the latter taking care and doing what he can to support the two.
There is a lot of death in this movie and we the watchers have to deal with Wolverine and his struggle with keeping himself alive after the experiments done on him has begun to poison his body. He does find out he has a kick ass daughter and ends up trying to keep her and several other mutant children safe as they journey to Canada to escape the crazy ass government people who want to turn them into weapons and studies etc.
In the end he does what he begrudgingly sets out to do that costs him dearly.

DEAR JOHN is part of the #WorldLetterWritingDay collection and we have Logan, an undercover cop, and Zion, an artist, stuck together on a remote island with no Wi-Fi, internet, or anything digital. Logan wasn't there to keep an eye on Zion, but rather his rather dodgy boyfriend.

I enjoyed my escape to the island. I found the revelations from Zion to be sad and loved how Logan was there for him. Yes, it was insta-love, but sometimes it's just got to be!

This is a short story but there is still a steamy time, plus the tension of not knowing if said dodgy boyfriend would show up. And don't forget the letters that Zion sent, which definitely made me chuckle. A thoroughly enjoyable story that I definitely recommend.

The supporting cast provides some fireworks, too. Driver’s and Tatum’s controlled, empathetic deadpan—they make surprisingly convincing siblings—leaves room for wilder stuff elsewhere on their crew

Well, I probably shouldn't have bought this, since resurrection/reincarnation is probably my least favourite theme for books. I skipped pretty much 30% of this book about the half way stage when it went back in time to her meeting Cyrus and a shortened version of their life. I just didn't care by then. I wanted more LOGAN and Cyrus, and instead she couldn't decide if she was Logan or Sevan or a bit of both, or even the other six people she'd been previously, and I just started to lose interest. Add in that Cyrus wasn't even in half the book and I was done.

I won't be continuing the series.
