This one’s not as strong as the first two books. The other two books have love triangles centered on Kristina, but this has three protagonists, each with their own love triangles, and keeping up with characters was a little confusing at times. I think it was trying to show parallels with Kristina's life as depicted in the previous books, but the events felt repetitive.
I like that the last few poems have Hunter, Autumn, and Summer coming together and relating to each other, but it also shows how their observations of Kristina reflect their own struggles throughout the book.
I don't like that it doesn't answer whether Autumn was pregnant. This part felt somewhat unnecessary, but I guess it serves as another connection it to how the other books end with Kristina being pregnant. But it also adds to the repetitive feel of the series. Though it is realistic to what some teens go through. This and the article that mentions that Kristina has lung cancer could just be to serve as lessons of the consequences of drugs and unprotected sex
