Sometimes the best way to talk about books isn’t with a formal review, but with a chat. So here’s my Skyland trilogy FAQ—my favorite characters, the quotes I loved, the moments that broke me, and the ones that had me fanning myself.
Who was my best character?
I’m torn between Yasmeen and Aaron. Yasmeen because she’s mature, level-headed, and rational without losing her heart. Honestly, I’d love to be like her in my own life. And Aaron—oh Aaron! He’s autistic and non-verbal, but he sees people so clearly, without the filters we adults put up. His way of interacting with the world moved me deeply. Honestly, can I just be both of them when I grow up?
Which book did I prefer?
This Could Be Us is hands-down my favorite. Watching Soledad grow—from stay-at-home mum, to sole provider for her girls, to Judah’s lover—was a journey I didn’t want to end. The beauty was in the pacing: nothing happened overnight, and that made her transformation even more powerful. A true slow burn of self-discovery.
What lessons did I learn from the trilogy?
- Only women know how to love women, and I’ll die on that hill.
- Have your own source of income, separate from your partner’s.
- Teenagers will test you. Just call on all the spirits and keep loving them anyway.
- Love yourself—immensely, deeply, wholeheartedly. Date yourself. Spend time with yourself. Do what you love, every single day.
What was my favorite quote?
“The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love—whether we call it friendship or family or romance—is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light.”
(This Could Be Us)
Which fun quotes made me laugh out loud?
“Father, forgive me for I have whored.” (Can’t Get Enough)
“I don’t have a law degree, but I have my doctorate in relentless bitch.” (Can’t Get Enough)
Everybody needs a friend like Hendrix 🤣.
Who was my favorite child?
Lupe! Mature and good-mannered, the kind of child who jumps in to help her mama with the business and doesn’t hesitate to gently redirect her sister when it’s needed. Her mama really raised her well. Can we all agree her mama deserves an award?
Who was my favorite male character?
Judah. His calm. His strength. His patience. His resolve to have his woman. His love for Soledad and his children. Whew, chile! Somebody bring me a fan. Like I said, Judah is my guy!
Which storyline hit closest to my heart?
Soledad rebuilding herself. Maybe because I’m also in a season of rebuilding and reinventing—the woman I lost along the way. Sometimes fiction holds up the mirror we didn’t know we needed.
Which scene made me cry?
When Judah bought Soledad a bookmark because she started reading. Or when he ordered one of her Fall baskets to help her business. Little gestures, big love. Like I said, Judah is my guy!
Which scene had me asking for cold water with extra ice 🥵?
Soledad and Judah in the back of his truck 🙈. Hendrix and Maverick in the coatroom 👀. Yasmeen and Josiah in the dressing room 🔥. I couldn’t decide whether to blush or take notes🤣. IYKYK
Which book was the spiciest?
All three books are extremely spicy. Spice lovers will thrive here. If not… well, consider yourself warned.
Who should read this trilogy?
Read this if you love second chances, romance with stronger themes (like depression, grief, resilience, etc), very steamy romance, strong women’s friendships, and you’re not shy about explicit language. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
What did I dislike about the trilogy?
Book three leaned a little too heavy on wealth. Gucci this, luxury that—it got distracting. Also, it didn’t hit as deep as the first two, though it was still entertaining. With Hendrix? Of course it would be fun! Just my two cents!
What was my favorite female friendship moment?
When Soledad and Hendrix jumped into the fountain in winter to help Yasmeen find something—without even knowing what. No questions asked, just support. That’s the kind of ride-or-die energy I want in my life.
Which character did I relate to most?
A mix of the three women: Yasmeen for her practicality, Soledad for her creativity, Hendrix for her humor and joy. I saw myself in all of them. Honestly, that’s the magic of this series—it mirrors back little pieces of us.
If I had to describe the trilogy in one word, what would it be?
More. Because it’s more than just romance. It’s love, healing, friendship, reinvention… and then some.
Would I recommend the Skyland trilogy?
Most definitely. This Skyland trilogy FAQ proves it’s a story that stays with you—through laughter, tears, and maybe a little fanning.
