AMAZING ENDING OF THE MUST-READ SERIES!
Deep and emotional, heartbreaking and healing final installment of one of the best series ever! Loved everything - every little detail and episode. I liked Brooke in this installment (no, I'm not kidding), and as a huge fan of Graham/Emma's couple, I was happy with glimpses of them. River's POV was heartbreaking, but the ending was really perfect- the way I wanted it. Excellent job once again, Mrs. Webber!!!

this whole series gets a five out of five from me even though there were some moments I was sad but tammara webber always surprised me and when river said "no cry daddy" I cried with happiness and when Dori finally said i love you to reid, man I was done! Tammara Webber you are officially my favorite author you don't just tell a story you describe it!!!! amazing series!

Reid - His character growth and transformation across all four books has been astounding! I thought we'd seen all the growth possible for him, but Webber proves otherwise. Truly cannot believe that the asshole Reid of book one is the same selfless and kind Reid of book four.

Brooke - meh. Still not really liking her. Even after reading about all of the difficulties she faces in book four....still not really warmed up to her.

Dori and River - <<<<333333 so much love.

I expected more. Don't get me wrong, it was good but I liked Dori in GFY, but here not so much.

First things first, it should be noted that I PRE-ORDERED this ebook. PRE-ORDERED! I don't buy books. And I certainly don't pre-order them, but there's a first time for everything and I'm a huge fan of this series.

At this moment I really wish I had written reviews for the first three books in this series, Between the Lines, Where You Are, and Good For You. I read all three of them in the same week last year, the same week Sandy hit and I had an unexpected week off work. That was before I had this blog and when I was only occasionally reviewing books on Goodreads.

If you haven't read those three books I highly encourage you to do so. I don't think any of them are quite as good as Webber's Easy (my review), but they're not far behind. If you haven't read the first three books in this series I would recommend you stop reading this review now as there are spoilers for the first three books ahead.

When I first heard there was going to be a fourth book in this series I had kind of assumed it would be about Brooke. Emma and Graham's story had wrapped up pretty nicely in Where You Are and Dori and Reid were in a good place at the end of Good For You. It definitely wasn't unwelcome, but I was surprised, when I learned that this book would be about Brooke, but also about Reid and Dori.

Of all the books in the series I really loved Good For You, I loved Reid from the first book in the series, even when he was an insufferable idiot, and seeing him change over the course of Good For You and him getting together with someone like Dori (who I also loved) made me really happy. I was terrified that this book would be filled with a lot of unnecessary drama about Brooke coming between Reid and Dori.

Thankfully, and I don't think I'm spoiling anything here, the drama was mainly kept at a minimum. Dori and Reid had their issues, but they mainly revolved around Dori moving away to go to school, Dori still not feeling secure in her relationship with a hugely famous movie star, and Dori learning that Reid had a son with Brooke several years before. Reid really loves Dori and there was no drama about that, which I loved.

Surprisingly I wasn't dreading reading a book about Brooke. I definitely thought she was a massive bitch after reading the first two books in the series, but after reading Good For You I  felt more sympathetic towards her. I also have a lot of faith in Tammara Webber not to write a story about a completely unrelatable, evil character and she didn't disappoint here. I liked Brooke tremendously. Yes, she's kind of crazy and a little misguided at times, but she's had a tough life, despite the fact that she's a successful movie star, and I was really rooting for her to find some kind of happiness.

The part of the story I was most hesitant about going into it was the kid. The description doesn't mention the kid, but it does mention a secret between Brooke and Reid and having read the other books it's pretty obvious, not to mention there's a kid on the cover, that this will be about Brooke and Reid's kid. I still didn't love that part, I did love the different sides of Brooke and Reid that came out because of the kid, but I didn't 100% buy into the idea that what happened with the kid would actually happen. It just seemed very convenient.

Bottom Line: I didn't love this one as much as I loved Good For You, but I still enjoyed it. Honestly, I think (I hope!) I will love anything Tammara Webber writes and especially anything she writes about these characters. If you haven't read this series I suggest picking it up and if you started reading it and need to finish I suggest doing that, too!

Same as the third book - the first two books soured the main characters for me a bit, but still love Tammara's writing.

No puedo siquiera comenzar explicar como ame este libro.
He de aclara sin embargo, que no se basa en el romance, ni nada de eso. Si bien han partes romanticas y lindas, no todo se basa en ello.

Se nota como Reid crece y ya no es aquel tipico actor adolescente de Hollywood que era en Between The Lines o Where You Are, ahora es todo un hombre responsable. De repente leia lo que pensaba y decia "Como se nota lo mucho que ha madurado". Adore como asumio su responsabilidad, lucho por su relacion con Dori y no se rindio ante nada. Sus pequeños detalles, todo, simplemente todo.

Ame el desarrollo de los personajes, Tammara hizo un excelete trabajo (como siempre) & en definitiva ame la conclusion de esta serie.

Brooke. Muchas veces, en los libros anteriores, llegue a odiarla y a pensar en ella como una malcriada actriz. Sin embargo, ella es mucho mas que eso. En esta historia, si bien se ha dicho que su madre siempre fue negligente con ella, aqui se nota lo mucho que eso la ha afectado, la influencia de su madrastra en su vida. Adore como dio la cara por su hijo, aun cuando todos estaban en su contra en algun momento, ella nunca se rindio.

Dori. Cuantas veces no quise golpearle algo de sentido comun. Pero bueno, despues de lo que le ha pasado, uno no puede simplemente juzgar a la ligera. Nunca me ha pasado lo que ha ella (espero nunca me pase) pero su manera de reaccionar antes ellas, a veces me molestaba! Pero bueno, uno como lectora, a veces sabe el pensamiento de todos los personajes mientras que ellos ignoran lo ignoran por completo.

River. Oh, River. Ame a ese pequeñin. Muchas veces quise llorar por lo que le sucedio, pero bueno, al final regreso con sus padres. Lo amo, al igual que a su padre.

El epilogo fue mi parte favorita! Graham & Emma, son mi pareja favorita. Verlos un poco, aunque no hagan mucho, es bastante.

Muy buen final para esta serie, me encanto.

When I first started this book I didn't think I'd care for it much considering the storyline - I don't like Brooke& don't really like kids - but I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected to.

River is such a little sweetheart and oh god, that poor baby. I don't understand how people can be so terrible to children like that. :,( I wanted to cry during all the parts in his POV, and I actually did end up crying in the epilogue.
