3.5/5⭐ This tied all the loose ends really well. Compared to the other books, we can really see the character development here. Mother nature basically forced them to sit-the-f*** down, relax and talk. All they needed from the very beginning was communication, they needed to talk things through.
I'll admit. I was disappointed on how the Josh-Gemma relationship was handled and how Josh's character was treated like a plot device. After reading this book, things became more clear. Everything ended up where and how it should be.

Sure, this series is silly and ridiculous and implausible in a dozen different ways, but I couldn't care less. Gemma and Hallie's revenge hijinks never fail to leave me highly entertained and in that light, fluffy mood for summer. I've said it at the beginning, and now I'll say it at the end of this series — the Broken Hearts trilogy is just a barrel of laughs and fun. I may roll my eyes a bit, but know that I smile a whole lot more and will always keep turning the pages.

I loved this last book in the Broken Hearts, Fences and Other Things to Mend trilogy. This book shows that you shouldn't keep grudges for long even though it might seem like a big deal at a time. Also, people will remember things that you have done in your past, so don't do anything that you might regret in your future. Please read this book and the other two before it!

There's a storm and all the characters are trapped together in one house?! I love those kinds of dynamics! What I don't like however is people trying to sabotage other people's happiness. Thank goodness for Ford, that's what I'm saying. A really lovely end to the series, but maybe it could've been a duology as a lot of the emotions seemed really drawn out.

Really liked this book, and was a sweet ending to the series. Was a bit cheesier then then the previous books, but I think it was mostly in order to bring closure to the storyline and the characters.

My thing with this book is that it wasn't bad, it just didn't need to exist. To be honest, this was 244 pages of pretty much nothing happening. It's pretty much an entire book on just character growth and it was pretty unnecessary.
Gemma and co get stuck in Bruce's house because of a hurricane and she finds out her dad and Karen are getting married. And because the entirety of the second book didn't happen apparently since no one seems to have learned anything from it, she and Hallie go back to do everything they did in book 2 except it's to their parents.
And literally everyone was telling them to take their heads out of their ass and just let their parents be happy and Gemma essentially went, I hear you and I kind of agree but I'm gonna do it anyways. Like the entire time she was scheming, she knew she was doing the wrong thing, she didn't even want to do it, but she just kept going. And the way her and Hallie made it sound, you'd think capers would ensue but literally only two things happened and the second event was the only dealbreaker one for their parents relationship.
Like the entire Reverse Parent Trap plot didn't really go anywhere, to be honest, their parents weren't even in the house with them most of the time, and the rest of the time they were too busy making sure things went smoothly because of the hurricane.
The Ford plotline was dragged out for way too long, for suspense purposes and nothing else obviously, to the point where it was just annoying. Like the dumb pining and stuff would've been cut down significantly. Like the scene at the end where the two of them do get together was cute and all but it could've happened at literally any other time.
The rest of the characters were pretty uninteresting like nothing happened with them, they were mostly there because they had to be. Gwenyth was home the entire time to literally no one's surprise, it was fairly obvious.
I guess the only thing that we really got out of this book was that Hallie and Gemma finally got over their problems and grew closer since they were gonna be related and all. But all in all, anything worth keeping around in this book is so small that it could've been added onto book 2 with like an extra hundred pages or so and it would've been a nice wrap-up. So, like I said, there wasn't really any need for this book. It wasn't bad, it just didn't serve a purpose.
