What an amazing ending to this series! I literally will be recommending this book to everyone I know. It was so much more than a romance book. I left with my mind expanded even more which was such a delightful surprise!

A perfect ending to a great series! I love Grip and Bristol's love story. Kennedy Ryan knows how to write tragedy and triumph. This story broke me and put me back together again!

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.

emotional hopeful sad

4.0

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.
