Wonderful end to series I almost didn’t finish. Honestly the Windy City series got better with every book. Rio and Hallie's story was by far my favourite.

I love Rio. I can't believe this series is officially over. This was such a good book it culminated from all the different stories told and I didn't stop crying through it all.

If you, like me, started this book thinking it was impossible to love Rio DeLuca more than you already did, well you thought wrong. I don’t think I will ever be able to read a second chance romance again and have it hit the same as this one. Hallie and Rio have the absolute sweetest relationship, and even the reasoning for their initial breakup stems from them both being the sweetest most amazing people. Everything about this book—the roof, the mixtapes, the tattoo, the jersey number, the house—is just absolutely perfect. I want to say it’s the perfect way to end the series, but I’m also bitter about it being over because I’m obsessed with it. I don’t know how Liz Tomforde manages to write books with such compelling and serious issues associated with the central conflict and yet manages to make them into a low stakes comfort read, but seriously every time I get sucked in and manage to just chill while also absolutely loving it.

I’m crying, I’m crying, I’m crying. This was an amazing end to an amazing series. This is most definitely my favourite of the Windy City Series. The second chance romance, the personal reflection and self growth, the friendships, romantic and familial relationships… I loved every moment!!

The end of the book was just absolutely beautiful and had me bawling my eyes out.

I especially loved that the audiobook for this was a duet, unlike the others, not that I mind, but duets are so much better. Megan Wicks and Connor Crais were great!

Maaaaaan I wanted to love this more!! 3.5 stars⭐️

But I think it’s me, not the book😩 Personally I struggle through second chance stories that have a lot of flashbacks. I felt more invested in the present day plot and often found myself hurrying to get back to those chapters.

It also felt like there was a lack of emotional build up, due to the main characters already knowing each other from childhood. I wish there had been more build up or emotional depth in the present storyline, but I fear the story relied on the characters history and the flashbacks for that.

That being said, I read this in 2 days😅 Liz’s writing is addictive and still a fun read. I also enjoyed Hallie and Rio as individuals, even if parts of their chemistry felt off or not as deep as the other couples.
