I have never felt such an array of emotions in one book. I had to take breaks because I was honestly just emotionally tired lol. I love this conclusion to Grip and Bristol’s story and honestly think this was the perfect way to end this journey.

THIS BOOK COMPLETELY GUTTED ME.
Still, picks up after a few months after Grip and we are finally seeing Gripstol as a couple. And in this book, we get to see how their lives and their love changes over time and through everything that life throws their way. When I say that this series makes you feel like you are experiencing their story along with them, I truly mean it. This series and this book, in particular, isn't a romance it's real life, its a love story that is tested so many times and in so many different ways but the love that Bristol and Grip share is the thing that anchors them both when things get tough. And I just could not get enough of them.

I have a lot of feelings about this book. It was emotional, I absolutely cried, I love Grip and Bristol, but every so often something would really bother me.
I hated the way women’s weights were talked about in this book. It was uncomfortable, unnecessary, and perpetuates fatphobia. Also why does every woman in this book have hair down to their waist and why is it consistently mentioned?
Extremely upset by the comparison of self harm to sex near the end. Not sure why that was included at all and I hate it. Around the same time as this in the book there was an uncomfortable use of asexual, too.
I have the same fundamental issues with Still as I did with Grip, but I liked Bristol so so so much more in this one.
This book could have been 5 stars, but alas, it’s a 4.
