Long Way Down
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ok so their fame is kind of unrealistic, and when their fans were angry at them for not doing a second season. But why would people be that blind when they know the producer fucked them over; posted Connor and Rose's s*x tapes and child pornography of children (Daisy) and they expect them to do it all over again!? Hmm...

Their nosies during spicy times are the most awkward out of all of them, I pretend I don't read it. But I have to credit the authors for creating such complex characters, literary none of them are shallow.

I love Ryke's love language; the hair ruffling omg it is adorable<3 And the way he calls Lo his little brother, man it does something to my heart.

Samantha literary see her kids as business opportunities, she even named them after flowers, things she owns...

I usually don't cry when reading sad books and sad scenes but I spontaneously started crying when they had their wedding because I was so happy for them.

The way Lo is there for Ryke to get him back up again, man the character development really showed.

The epilogue chapter was a mind-fuck because how am I supposed to keep track of all their children's names... also, I'm sad on behalf of Connor and Rose who didn't have their eight kid, but the reason is justifiable.

I am dreading finishing this series so I think it'll take some time before I read the final book in the series.

"There are moments you remember and people you will never fucking forget. While orange light bathes us, while tension flits far, far away, how much we’ve felt—all that we’ve bled—surrenders to our collective love. Lifetimes, days, minutes spent together.
As we watch outward. As we watch upward. As our faces warm.
We live and breathe in quiet, blissful peace."


i literally cannot stop crying, i've been crying the whole fucking day. i can't believe it ended, i can't believe it's finally over i don't even have it in me to review this book, im just. im so grateful for these nine books, these six people, lily and loren, daisy and ryke, rose and connor, every day, every minute, every second and im so happy i read this series, that i could be here for the end. i wish it didn't have to end, i don't want to say goodbye. they've all changed me, in so many ways and so many words, i can't describe it, except im breaking and being made whole all in one breathe, and i think if i were to die and come back alive for anyone, i'd do it for these people. i love you all, i love you lily, and lo. i love you the first day when you walked out of the frat house, to the last day when you watched the sunset with your family. i love you all so much. thank you. so much.

THE THREE STARS ARE FOR THE CORE SIX & THE EPILOGUE

Yikes this is going to be an unpopular opinion

Things that made me cringe so bad if I wasn’t in love with everyone else I would have DNF’d:

- Daisy calling Ryke “my wolf”
- Daisy saying “I have a theory” or “*gasp* THE DANGER” stfu
- The stupid sayings on Daisy’s shirts they needed to enlighten me with every single time

Daisy’s little quirks annoyed me so much in this book it was overkill. Every single conversation with her included one of those 3 points. Mind you this is over 600 pages long so it was just too much. I definitely can only enjoy Daisy’s personality in small doses.

What annoys me is I enjoy them as a couple until Daisy ruins it by sounding like an actual child and then I feel like I’m not on board anymore. She talks like a 12 year old and it makes me uncomfortable.

Ryke calling her the sun was cute af tho icl. One minute I loved them the next I needed it to end.

WAY too many near deaths. However they still had me choked up bc when am I not crying but one was enough tbh especially cause we knew what the outcome would be so it’s like bffr

Anyways I loved my Lilo and Coballoway crumbs ALWAYS. I’m INVESTED in Willow and Garrison those cuties. But why do the Raisy books have the least amount of Core Six content
