This was such a great ending to the series (really the last two books were the real highlights for me)! I think in real life I would not vibe with a person like Hadley, but in the book world I would die for her! What a sweet, sweet soul! I really enjoyed Spencer as well, and enjoyed that she was a person of color! These are our interracial queens! My only complaint was that I felt like we didn’t get enough Gia in this book, who was introduced as Hadley’s initial best friend in the first book. I thought there would be more of her due to this, and my love for Gia is also big so she was missed for me.

Goodbye Seven Shores, it was a very enjoyable ride! I will continue to wonder about these characters long into the future, hope they are all living their best lives!

An honest review thanks to NetGalley. I would highly recommend reading the previous books in this series before starting this one. This was my favorite in all the Seven Shores books. I loved Hadley from when we first met her in Isabelle's book. Hadley and Spencer's romance was an off the charts page turner. If you are in the mood for a fantastic romance with off the chart chemistry, this is the book for you!

The last book of the Seven Shores series and what a book it is! Hadley has always been one of my favorites so I was looking really forward to reading her book.

It was fun seeing an other not so innocent side of Hadley and I really loved Spencer (and the fact that she's the first poc main character in this series).

The ending was so wholesome and an amazing conclusion to this series. I really enjoyed it.

I was extremely excited to read this one. Hadley is my favorite character in the Seven Shores series. She stays very true to her character throughout the story, and even the conflict and resolution in the later part of the book is exactly how I would expect the character to handle it.

One of the things I like about this book is that the idea of love and sex is handled in a very "adult" way. (This applies to all the books in the series, even if I haven't reviewed them.) Brayden did a fantastic job of showing that a relationship doesn't have to follow the basic design of Meet, Flirt, Fall in love, Sex. She writes an engaging story that feels realistic, that sometimes love comes later. I'm aware she's far from the first to do this, but she does this in a very smooth and believable way.

The pacing was also done very well. At no point did I feel it was dragging or being rushed in any way. I genuinely got teary-eyed at the ending. It packed quite an emotional punch!
