5.0

This book has so much to say about love and bravery and grief and growing up. It all feels like such a culmination of the previous two books that it really works as a conclusion. The story needs all of them: Grace with her put-togetherness, Sam with his determination, Cole with his wow factor, and Isabel with her stubbornness. There’s a lot of love between all of them, and lots of other types of love too, but the three main love stories of the book are particularly heart-aching. Sam and Grace of course have the kind of love that feels familiar while at the same time feeling out of reach. Cole and Isabel and have the kind of love that isn’t even love yet but feels so deliciously inevitable. And the love story that is the foundation this series was built upon: Sam and Beck. It always comes back to Beck. It’s not a love story that I would model anything in my own life after. But most love stories aren’t.
