My babies! Iโ€™m so proud of them. I donโ€™t even have words to describe what this book represents. My heart is so full from seeing this two characters finally thrive in life.

Itโ€™s a very emotional book and definitely my favourite of the addicted series. Yes, the main characters are Lily and Lo, but they wouldnโ€™t be where they are without Ryke, Connor, Daisy and Rose, so this book is also about them. 

We could already see in โ€˜Thriveโ€™ how Lo evolved a lot through all the previous books, this book came to just prove how he really changed. As said in the book, for so long he was trying to not be like his dad while he already was, when he started acting like himself he finally became the person he wanted to be. Lo really is a great person, strong and supportive. 

To me, this was Lilyโ€™s book. Yes, she was already getting better in previous books, but for me, here is where we see the big change. Seeing Lily being carefree, being able to joke about sex, not getting red with every dirty joke, seeing Lily finally comfortable with herself. There is no way to describe the joy it brought me. 

There were a lot of happy moments in the book, but all of these characters also had to go through a lot. Lily and Lo are happy and at ease, but the other characters still have some things to work out, especially Daisy. Knowing the next two books are more focused on Rose and Daisy leaves me excited about whatโ€™s to come.

Yet another 500 pages of insightful observations and thought-provoking analyses from Lily and Loren.

Loren about his sister-in-law (yes, sister-in-law, not a dog): "Daisy should be outside or whatever she likes to do."

Pregnant Lily: "If I fall, so does my baby"

Loren: "I may not be the best at anything, but I can be better than mediocre" actually not sure you can hun

Loren: "I genuinely care about other people's everyday lives - it's bizarre."

Lily at a picnic: "I realise that I only brought myself. Which is not really a contribution at all." 10/10 for self-awareness there Lily, no notes

Some of the things that made me laugh:

- Lily's impeccable fashion sense: 'she wears her Wampa cap, dinosaur slippers, black cotton pyjamas and a fur coat'

- When they decided they would name their son MAXIMOFF.

- The whole "one of you will become the CEO of our billion dollar company" plotline. "Either my son, the recovering alcoholic who dropped out of uni, his girlfriend, who is a pregnant sex addict with a raging anxiety who can't really speak in public, my other son, who uses the word fuck in every sentence and only cares about rock climbing and hating me, or his girlfriend, who is 18 years old and an ex-model without a uni degree but with severe PTSD." like surely not all of these should be options
