I’m not crying, you are! 🥹

Cal and Lana are amazing ❣️
They show what love should look like in the hardest of times. Even though trusting someone again after they hurt you and broke your heart seems impossible. 

Cal shows what it means to be a real stepdad and how a kid (even if it isn’t your own) should be treated and loved. No matter what you went through in the past.

This story shows the struggle of an addict and teaches you ,like Brady Kane would say, that “Sobriety is a journey”

The ending was *chef’s kiss* 🤌🏻

This series was sublime and al the books in this series are on my favourites list! 
Lauren Asher you really do belong too on my list of most favourite authors 🥰

"He grasps on to my elbow while his 
pained eyes flick er over my face. "You always deserved better than me." 
I rip my arm free of his hold. "No. I 
deserved better from you.""

Un adiós a esta bonita trilogía de hermanos que tienen que cumplir los últimos deseos de su difunto abuelo, para poder obtener su gran herencia.

Debo confesar que algo que no me gustó del segundo y tercer libro, fueron las condiciones para Declan y Cal, me parecieron superficiales y absurdas, pero al terminar este tercer libro, la de Cal tuvo un poco más de sentido.

Al principio nos encontramos a un Cal sin responsabilidad que se encuentra con su amor del pasado (Alana), quien vive en la casa de vacaciones de su infancia, que DEBE vender para poder recibir su herencia, sin embargo, las cosas se complican cuando se entera que Alana, también es propietaria y además vive ah  con su hija Cami, por lo que tienen que llegar a un acuerdo en el que ambos acepten venderla.

El desarrollo de Cal fue lo que más me gustó, como alguien que vive con personas alcohólicas, me gustó como la autora nos mostró esto de una forma sutil, no habían escenas grotescas sobre esto, pero es una representación de un tipo de alcoholismo distinto y el cómo queda implícito que la principal persona que realmente te puede ayudar a superar una adicción, eres tú mismo.

Otro personaje que me encantó, fue Cami, amé su interacción con Cal y cómo logró sacarle dinero a Cal 😆.
Alana, por otro lado, no me encantó ni me disgustó, fue muy meh 🤷‍♀️.

La historia me hizo reír, llorar y suspirar, el que los personajes estuvieran más cercanos en edad y experiencias fue un gran plus, porque ambos debian aprender lo que era tener una relación seria y con compromisos reales, sobre todo por Cami, y el tener que confiar en alguien, cuando esta misma persona te dio razones para desconfiar de ella.

Por último, el cierre de la trilogía no me gustó, muchos hijos en tan poco tiempo jajaja, perdón 😅, pero me gustó qué los hermanos tuvieran un hermoso cierre.

The end was so worth it.in love with the epilogue. This book was everything any reader would want in a book. Truely an emotional roller coaster. A journey I was proud to be on. Like Lauren states at the end it’s bittersweet to see the series go. With that in mind I’ll definitely cry later.
