Not as strong a finish as I would have liked, but at least the pacing was a lot better. It wasn’t a bad finale for these two adorable but codependent teens. No one does angst like teenagers. I’m happy Ben and Silas finally got their HEA.

Oh my goodness what an amazing amazing book! I couldn't stop listening. I got completely lost in the story. I honestly listened to it non stop. It destroyed me and I cried like a baby but I loved every single word. Silas and Ben's story will stay in my heart. It was beautiful and heartbreaking and so so powerful. And the narrator did such an amazing job bringing it to life. And the last epilogue was pure joy. I loved it so much! One of the best books I read this year.

This book. My gosh. I have several questions. For starters, why? For seconders, what? And for finishers, how?
This book broke me apart. I was hoping for a resolution and an HEA for my boys. And we got there, but the road to it was heart wrenching. Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse for them, it did. This book was devastating. It was torturous. It was achy and raw and honestly? Even hard to read sometimes. I was so upset that I was almost angry. I honestly didn’t know where I was going to go on my review. But I couldn’t not give it 5 stars. It was beautifully done. Darn it. How do I move on now?!
This series is beautiful, but hard. Check your triggers as there are things in these pages that can be highly upsetting. If you don’t like angst, then find another series. But gosh. I think I need to buy it now. I think I need to hold it. And isn’t that just the darnedest thing.

I finished this entire series in 2 days and it tore my freaking heart out. In the best way. I just finished this book and I already want to re-read them all. Such a beautiful, painful, heart-breaking story!!! Even in the epilogue there were unexpected twists that made me gasp and cry. UGH so good.
4.5⭐️ Woof this book hurt. Infinite angst and pain. Silas and Ben go through so much in this final book it’s difficult to believe they’ll end up whole and together at the end. (They do, but by the skin of their teeth.)
I loved this series. It felt like a mix between When You Come Back to Me by Emma Scott and Lost Boys by Jessie Walker. Highly recommend if you love painful stories.

TRIGGER WARNING: This book features on page sexual assault, car accident resulting in death, death of parent, mentions of suicide, past references to child abuse, and homophobia/homophobic language.
Nikole Knight finishes off the Far From Ruined trilogy in a finale that had me crying at one point. However, Silas and Ben's story continues to have as much heart and beauty as it has since book one and continues to be beautifully written.
After Eric Boyt sent pictures of them having sex to everyone in the school at the end of the last book causing Silas having to come forth about Boyt's attempted assault, cracks have formed in their relationship. Silas blames Ben for making him speak up, for everyone knowing what he's been through, even though he doesn't want to blame Ben. The relationship is on thin ice and both boys are deperately clinging to what they want - each other - while trying to navigate the landmines that fill their day to day life after Boyt's latest attack.
This book is honestly harder to get through for me than the others, but at the same time I did NOT want to put it down. The light hearted moments of romance in book two are fewer, but they still exist. The chemistry between the two boys still crackles. They are still realistic eighteen year olds handling stuff that is far out of their depth in a way that feels very much like an eighteen year old would.
But damn was it painful.
This book took me on a full emotional roller coaster, but I was incredibly satisfied with how it ended. Not only would I recommend this book and this series to people, I already have.

Pace picks up a lot and story much more engaging. Hi angst and I still love these guys. Wonderful couple who go through so much. Lovely epilogue and sweet HEA which they so richly deserve.
