I appreciated that Drake sought help and engaged with a therapist in this book. It was a welcome change to see him abstain from hooking up with someone else for once. Although I wasn't thrilled that he almost gave in to the girl at the store and continued to be attracted to others, his genuine effort and ability to walk away was progress. 

Despite his sincere attempts, I'm less enthusiastic about her swift forgiveness. Additionally, the imbalance in steamy moments between the main couple and other characters left me wanting more happiness for them. I read the series for them, and I was left wanting so much more. 

The narrative felt rushed, with rapid transitions following their union, including the abrupt ending. Suddenly, they were home for Christmas, and then suddenly, they graduated. It would have been more satisfying to witness a bit more relationship-building before leaping to the conclusion.
