This book DRAGGED and did not need to be this LONG. There were many things that were repetitive and I had to take multiple breaks while reading because I was getting bored.

I loved learning about Lily and Loren's relationship over the 5 books. I am sad to reach the end of the series. Not only did we, the readers, learn more about their relationship, but we also experience a deeper understanding of their family and friendships.
I would love to read more about Loren's and Ryke's relationship with their father. Both of them have a complex relationship, so reading more about this intrigues me. Expecially, as he experience liver disease. I know Ryke was conflicted as to whether or not to donate to save their father, but ultimately decided to donate.
I cannot express how much I love Connor. Connor was another character that developed throughout the books. I loved seeing his manipulative side of him turn towards love. He once stated that he did not believe in love, yet we see him develop these feelings for not only Rose but Loren as well.

This is part of a series. So start with addicted to you and work your way up to this book. I recommend reading the Calloway sisters spin off along with the addicted series. I found it easier to know what was going on and references.

The books are about Lily and Lo who both struggle with addiction. Their addiction is a big part of the book and in the first couple it is quite graphic with descriptions of him getting wasted everyday. And she also has addiction which is a common challenge for her throughout the books. If you get triggered by these things I would not advise you read these books.swelchreads's review against another edition

Think the worst and be ready. When Jonathan Hale arranges a "essential" meeting, Lily and Lo attempt to do it. The issue is that they are unsure of what the worst is now that they have been thrust into the spotlight and are struggling with their addictions.
Ryke and Daisy moving in with them is just one of many shifts that have caused Lily to understand that the best aspect of her shifting hormones may also be the worst. Her sex desire has gotten out of hand. Although Loren is aware of her unquenchable nature, he still has hope for her. Too much of him is in her. Some of the people he loves are starting to have doubts about his determination as he takes on more and more responsibilities.
This has had to be one of the finest series endings I've ever read. I was extremely pleased with how everything was put in its proper place and how the finish tied everyone together. The tempo wasn't very consistent, so sometimes it was slow and other times everything happened at once. I believe that is a component of KBR's writing style, and I don't really like it.
I can't believe I've read the final book of the Addicted series. I won't read about Lily and Lo's first experiences any longer since it makes me feel so nostalgic. It seemed like I was fighting dragons alongside them all the way to hell.

i literally cannot stop crying, i can't believe the addicted series is over.
when i started this series i had no idea that i'd fall in love with characters as much as i have. lily, lo, rose, connor, daisy & ryke I LOVE YOU.
what a completely beautiful ending to lily and lo's story. the growth of these characters is so admirable and you can visibly see in every book how much they have changed and how much they accomplish. they are the strongest characters i have ever read. i have never been prouder of fictional characters in my life.
i can't really put my thoughts or undying love for this series into words, i just love them too much.
"and when he looks at me, i see those thousands of memories course through his gaze. the seven-year-old us performing a backyard ceremony. the nine-year-old us racing around his father's mansion. the fifteen-year-old is flipping through comic books on his bed. we have consumed each other from day one. and we truly never let go"
"i can't tell you the day i fell in love with you because there wasn't a single day i didn't"
"all this time, your superpower has been loving me"
