This is book #7 in the intertwined Addicted/Calloway Sisters series and I was a little disappointed. A lot of the books in this series feel overly repetitive throughout the entire book until you get to the later chapters. The "sex addiction" that Lily is suffering from is a little more than overplayed at this point and almost seems juvenile the way she turns EVERY SINGLE scenario into a sexual innuendo. I mean c'mon, do sex addicts think about sex to the point where you can't say anything about anything without it triggering an arousal?
**Spoiler alert** I do like the fact that the sisters became mothers and Lily & Lo seem to mature to the point of prioritizing their health and seem to overcome their challenges.

I've neve thought I'd grew so attatched to Lily and Lo, they went through sh*t together and as Connor said, they fought for their future (their present) SO FREAKING MUCH. It will be hard to let go, even If I still have to read the other 3 books ;; This series has been A JOURNEY. ♥ Core-six forever.

Nope. Can’t do it anymore. I couldn’t care less for what’s going on. Had two hours left in the audiobook and usually i opt to just finish and be done but i need to have mercy on my brain sometimes.
These books might read like reality tv but i got so bored that i zone out every 5 minutes.
didn’t feel the pain everyone is talking about???

Okay. I gotta admit the first half of this book was pretty difficult for me. As I’ve said before I’m not a big Lily fan, so it was hard for me to feel engaged during her POVs because to be honest, she annoys me a bit at times. However, I will say the second half of the book? It’s sold me a little more on her. I think she showcased her growth and maturity and I think she is more able to be an equal partner to Loren, not just relying on him all the time. I was impressed with her character growth and I do hope it continues because if it does I can see myself liking her more.
Overall this book does what the twins do so well: it gives us that sense of found family that we love. The character interactions between the Core 6 are always my favorite parts of the books, and the way these people come to bat for each other truly just makes me so happy. I look forward to seeing where their lives take them now that they’re entering a healthy state of their lives where they’re actually finding peace and able to grow from that.

Addicted After All is a masterpiece—my Roman Empire, my everything. This book is pure perfection. It was just beautiful seeing how Lily and Lo have come so far. I was crying, sobbing, laughing, screaming, squealing, and giggling while reading this, but it was all worth it. They might relapse in the future, but now they know how to deal with that and all the backlash and the rumours. Every character in this book is fighting their own battle in their own way. I love everyone in this book with all of my heart. I can’t even articulate in words how much these characters mean to me.
This whole series is so amazing and shows that no matter who you are, you always need people by your side who love you selflessly. It shows the true meaning of love, family, friendships, relationships, brotherhood, and sisterhood. People have their own fears, their own damaged and tainted parts, but the good parts also exist. And there is always hope, a chance of becoming a better version of themselves. Most importantly, there are people who are addicted to something their whole lives, but you can never judge them based on their addictions. We never really know what put them in such a position, and Lily and Lo made me realise that you can overcome anything in this world—even your worst fears and addictions—if you have enough faith in yourself and if you have people by your side who will love you forever without any judgement.
In this book, the Core Six decided to live together, and so much is happening. They are all dealing with those rebellious teenagers in their new neighbourhood. They all needed stability in their lives after everything they had been through, and they finally got it. But there are still so many battles left to fight, and they are not going to back away from them until they win.
Lily Hale is my most adorable and absolutely perfect girl. I admire her so much for everything she went through and how she dealt with her addiction when everyone was against her. She is the purest, strongest, sweetest, and most lovable. She is goofy and introspective. And I love how she shipped every couple in this series—she always knew which two people would be a couple. She is imaginative and the observer of their group. She will always be my special girl. She always tries her best, whether it’s becoming a mother, a sister, or dealing with her sex addiction. She never backs down from anything, and I love that she finally got her own happy life with Loren, Maximoff, and her sisters.
“I want them to believe that I’m strong enough to be a good mum. Some days, I think I am. Other days, I have to convince myself all over again. But I’m going to get there. And I won’t give up.”
Loren Hale is everything to me and the love of my life. Words will never be enough to show how much I love him and how much I relate to his character. I love his sarcastic geek side, and I know his glaring eyes might kill you, but he can be sweet too, you know. He’s my cinnamon roll. He lets people hurt him because he thinks he deserves that pain and suffering, but he didn’t know that he is the strongest and most lovable man. And once he has confidence in himself, he is unstoppable. “He is ice and scotch, sharp and dizzying—breathtakingly gorgeous.” And the way he loves Lily is everything. I have never seen someone like Lo who loves so selflessly. His love is all-consuming and breathtaking. Lo and Moffy are the cutest and most adorable father-son duo. God, I want more of them. Loren Hale “The coolest and the hottest celebrity dad.” I mean, it’s the fact.
“Never did I think I’d be the recipient of fragile, precious things. Every single part of me is alive today. And it’ll be tomorrow. I’m not dying in my own body anymore. I am truly living. Peace courses through me. It’s the quiet that I never thought existed. And the heaven that I never believed was meant for me.”
Lily and Loren are my comfort couple, and every time I read about them, it feels like coming home. Their story brings me comfort, warmth, and joy. I have read so many books about so many amazing couples, but I have never read a book about two people who fit so well together—like they are one soul in two bodies. There will always be Lily and Loren in each and every universe because they are the same people in different fonts. They both will always be addicts, but now they are so much more than that.
They are now the best versions of themselves. They are the strongest people I have ever read about. Their love is just so utterly beautiful, and I am so very happy that I got the chance to read about their beautiful story and these amazing people. Their love is out of this world and unattainable. They make sacrifices for each other, but they will never leave each other’s side. They have this co-dependent relationship, but they have grown so much on their own and together, and I admire them for their strength and the struggles they have been through. I’m irrevocably, endlessly, and forever in love with these two.
I love reading their small adorable moments—how Lo teases her and winks at Lily. They are so adorable, and how Lo fake winces when Lily hits him. And how they hug each other when things are hard and help each other fight their addictions. It was everything, and it was mesmerisingly beautiful. If anyone asks me the definition of ‘soulmates,’ I can tell them—just read about Lily and Loren, and you will know what truly ‘soulmatism’ means. Lilo is my superior comfort couple from this series. I love my Marvel nerds so much.
This book is the last book of Lily and Lo, but it is the start of something more beautiful and a peaceful life with their son, Maximoff. I can never say goodbye to them because, for me, they are so, so special, and as long as I live, I’m always gonna remember their story. They all have a very special, permanent place in my heart. I want to hug the Core Six so badly right now.
Another thing I loved the most was Ryke and Lo’s brotherhood and Connor and Lo’s friendship. It is one of the best things about this book. Their bond is unbreakable and very heartwarming. I enjoyed Connor and Lo’s banter in this one. And I was literally shipping these two because of how sexily adorable they were in this book. Connor and Loren’s kiss in Mexico was everything and the highlight of this book.
The writing was, as usual, perfect, impeccable and simple, yet exquisite and beautiful. The pace was perfect—nothing felt too fast or too slow, and nothing was missing. It was the way it should always have been. There were so many beautiful quotes in this one, and that is one of the reasons why this book is my favourite of this series so far. There’s this thing about Krista and Becca’s writing that just makes you fall in love with the characters so easily. They always write the characters with so much depth and emotion that you can’t help but feel every emotion these characters feel. It’s like I was living this life with these characters, and it is the most utterly beautiful feeling for me.
The Halloween chapter was perfect, beautiful and overwhelming for me. The wedding scene was mesmerisingly beautiful and one of the best scenes from this book. I am so happy that they finally got the life they deserved. They fought so hard and made so many sacrifices just so they could finally start living their beautiful life the way Lily and Lo always wanted. I love them so much, and they always are going to be my forever favourite couple of this series.
There’s still so much I want to say about these characters and this series. This series is so comforting, heartwarming and riveting. The best decision I have ever made in my life was to start this series.

“Against the world, Loren Hale?”
“Yeah,” he nods. “Against the world, Lily Calloway. I’m familiar with that battle.”

“I knew from the beginning that we’d be addicted after all.” His amber eyes bore straight through me. “I just didn’t know whether we’d be at a better place than we were before.”

“Lily Calloway…all this time, your superpower has been loving me. And you’ll be happy to know that I’m not mortal.”
“You aren’t?” I choke. “No.”
He shakes his head, brushing away the wetness beneath my eyes. “Because my superpower is the love that I have for you. It’s out of this world, extraordinary, incomprehensible kind of love. And no one and nothing on this Earth comes close to it.”

“If someone ever asks how long we’ve spent together, I’d say for as long as my mind stretches back. I can’t tell you the day that I fell in love with you because there wasn’t a single day that I didn’t.” My voice shakes with more joy than I’ve ever known. “You have the purest parts of my heart, and I’m certain that in every alternate universe, I’m always, always in love with you.”

Lo snaps his fingers in mock realisation. “That’s right, love, I forgot about last night.”
“Impossible,” Connor says. “I’m unforgettable.”
