"I see us in the sky. I see us in the sun and clouds. In the grass and trees. I see us in everything."

This series and these people are everything to me right now and for forever. And how could I express my love for them and all the happiness they bring me in just a few words. I have seen them grow up and fight for each other, for themselves and I have seen them how they fought so hard to find their voice in this chaotic world and how they fought their addictions when the whole world was busy criticising them for it. I have seen them and I always will.

This book made me cry so many times like seriously what the hell!? I wanted Daisy to be happy and in love with Ryke and her family but the world is just always cruel to good people and everything she went through from the start of this series to this moment when she finally found her happiness was excruciatingly painful to read. She deserves the whole world and every happiness and every goddamn chocolate and cake in this world. The plot was a little heavy and a lot but the last few chapters made me so damn happy. It was a rollercoaster of emotions and I felt everything while reading. I felt their fear and their grief, their excitement to start a new chapter of their life. I cried so many times when they tried so damn hard for their future and I laughed so many times when Ryke picked Daisy on his shoulder upside down and when Rose and Connor bickers and I was grinning like a kid seeing Crazy Raisy. I loved Daisy's theories and her mock gasps. She's so cute sometimes. I love their wedding scene so much and the way Ryke looked at Daisy was just so sweet and beautiful

god this book was a fucking rollercoaster of emotions. I love reading from Ryke and Daisy's perspective so much! The prologue being about them bungee jumping back in Cancun years ago had me SCREAMING! The following dreamlike, beautiful proposal was everything to me! I loved all the insights we get from Lily/Lo and Connor/Rose obviously. The friendship growth that Ryke has made over these books and years with his brother, Connor and Lily is so so so satisfying to see. Seeing Daisy's entire character arc buildung up towards this book and her finally able to stand up for all of her ideas, opinions and dreams was great!! But one big complaint I have was the event that happened at the 65% mark. The timing of it all and the trauma that went with that was crazy and imo unnecessary... The lasting psychological impact wasn't dealt with well enough after the fact either, which rlly makes me mad. On another note, the whole journey Raisy went on to have a baby was heartbreaking and endearing at the same time. 

(ALSO ALL THE CASUAL AFFECTION BETWEEN THEM?? THE PLAYFUL FLIRTING?? THE COMMUNICATION?? MY HEART)

I love all these characters SO MUCH and I can't believe there's only the epilogue novel left ahhh!!

“Without you, the sky has no sun.”

I love the core six but I just don’t care about Daisy & Ryke that much. I just wanted to fast forward to the Lily & Lo parts. The epilogue was everything ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ I can’t believe there’s only one book left!
