The plot was cute and heartwarming. I loved how Warner finally got good in his life and how he was weird with it was emotional. There were some great scenes that showed the strength of their love. The shower scene was superior. The secret house building was so kind. Aaron's reaction was everything, especially because he wasn't used to kindness, and seeing him finally get what he deserved was special. The way he coped with the wedding was adorable. Kenji comforting him when he was overwhelmed was one of the best scenes. I loved Juliette standing up for him. Some characters could be more honest. The wedding from Juliette's side was slightly forgettable. Kenji was funny and had great sarcasm as always. He has such a kind heart and was very loyal. Juliette was loving and passionate. She was so brave and determined. She was so understanding of herself and what she and everyone needed. I wish some characters had better interaction, but I loved the ones we got. Ian was funny but too harsh. Juliette was naive, and Aaron was slightly selfish. Very minor criticisms, and such a happy book.
Favourite character - Aaron 
Least favourite - none but I guess Lily

Sadness - 1/5

Eindelijk het einde van de serie behaald. Dot boek was wat mij betreft totaal overbodig en voldeed niet aan de verwachtingen er gebeurde weinig en voelde vooral pagina vullend. Had een leuk boek kunnen zijn als er een tijd vooruit gesprongen werd en dan de wereld werd beschreven. Dit voegde niks toe en had geen toegevoegde waarde aan de serie.

Tell you the truth, it was pretty basic. Nothing much happened apart from the fact that they got married and how life is changing for the better and all that. But tell you the truth, I just found it pretty boring.
I think I’m like getting over Juliette/Ella. She acts like a literal child and sometimes it just annoys me so much when I’m reading.
Aaron as always is a woman killer ;)
I do like that the story is told in Warners perspective because I could not handle more of Juliette/Ella’s mind or reactions.
I’m really into romance and all those types of things, but this book being filled to the brim with romance was just not as much as a hit as I thought it would be.
Still a good book though :D
Overall I give it 3.5 stars because of how much of a hurry I was trying to finish this book.

Maam how dare you come out with a post-ending fanfic vibe novella about my favorite people in the whole wide world and expect me to be chill about it?
Warner has been a comfort, a constant and an inspiration for many years and so has Kenji. I love both of them individually but nothing tops their relationship dynamic, the chaotic besties are back!
And of COURSE this novella HAD to be written in Warner's POV. Not only showing his love for J/Ella but also signs of his anxiety and PTSD (kenji helping him avoid a panic attack is the CUTEST)
Anyway yall prepare urself for those wedding bells, babes
Happily ever after is within reach for our darlings ; FINALLY!

finished the series :(
This was such a lovely ending
It does still feel slightly incomplete but I think that probably because she was leaving room for the prequel series
4.5 ⭐️
I love Warner so so so much

1. this should’ve been an epilogue
2. the cranking out of extra novellas was so unnecessary and really took away from the overall story
3. there were like 5 typos just in the last 20 pages
4. but it’s warner’s pov so four stars i guesssss
