Okay this one was definitely a tear jerker towards the end there. I can't believe what happened to Beau. I'm still in shock. 

I loved this whole book though. It's not my favorite out of the three books I've read so far but it was still a fantastic read. I was laughing pretty often anime reading this. I absolutely loved Dean and Allie together. I'm glad Allie found someone who wasn't going to hold her back or hurt her(at least not intentionally). 

I hated Sean in this book. Which was surprising because I really liked him in the last book. But he was an absolute asshole in this book. And we really get to see just how toxic the relationship between Allie and Sean really was. The things he said to her and the names he called her were just downright appalling and I'm so glad that Allie stood her ground the entire book and refused to get back with him(and even to just be friends with him in the end).

I loved seeing the appearances from the previous characters again. I love how protective Garrett was of Allie(with Allie being his girlfriend Hannah's best friend) when everyone found out about Dean and Allie's relationship. Logan was just hilarious as always. I wish Tucker had shown up more, but with that cliffhanger I understand a little bit why he was somewhat MIA throughout this book. And I'm excited to get into his and Sabrina's story.

All in all I'm still completely loving series and can't wait to continue it. I'm getting through these books faster than I thought I would. That's how good they are.

I loved Allie and Dean so much. Both of their characters were really fun and had a lot of unique personality.

My point in case: They both become obsessed with a French soap opera that that neither of them can actually understand bc neither of them speak Frenchđź’€

The banter and humor in this book was also amazing. There were so many times I actually laughed out loud.

I really like how this series builds on itself in a way. You can read all the books as standalones, but I wouldn’t suggest it. I loved the characters in the other books, so I love seeing those same characters constantly throughout this series. Plus, I really like the depth in which you get to know each character, due to them all having their separate books. 

But, this book does have strong themes of grief and
loss of a parent, as well as friend.
While this isn’t the main focus of the book, it may be very difficult to read for some.
