I don’t remember the last time I felt this many emotions reading a book. I think I cried like 4 separate times!! I love these characters and I love how their lives have ended up.

Jesus this was LONG. Ryke and Daisy were always my favorite but it always annoyed me how the end of the series turned into everyone just having children. The majority of the story is just about them having children / trying to get pregnant. Like it's fine, they are growing up yada yada but also I don't care about any of this and it was most of the book.
The way the "fans" and paparazzi were portrayed was absolutely insane, with this one being the worst from this series. I know celebs have been flour bombed but the way people just kept doing it to them here really took me out. And then the coke one?? I died. The girls crying outside the grocery store at them also a favorite in being weird as shit. It's so cursed how you can see the inspo for famous person / bodyguard romance in this though oh my god.
Daisy and Ryke are v cute though and the book really just called me single and poor for almost 700 pages rip.

I don't get how the ratings of this book are so high. I always try to finish my books, but I nearly gave up this one. I feel like more than half of the book could be cut and that would make no difference. I loved Hothouse Flower, but this one felt so forced and so redundant. I hate how Ryke's personality is made all about him being grumpy and always swearing. I hate how Daisy's personality turn around being immature and insecure AND wanting sooooo much a baby. It really felt like: oh no, my sisters are having babies and not me, I want to be included so I'm gonna have a baby too. Their age gap is way too much felt during this book.
Also, too many chapters were focused on unmeaningful events and flour bombs... I wish we saw Daisy in therapy, maturing and learning during her sessions. I wish we saw her worked on her "big" project. The book was very about telling but not showing, while it was more than 600 pages...
At least, the last third is better. The epilogue is good. I'm glad I finally finished this book.

são tantas as sensações de terminar esse livro... o coração tá aquecido e a respiração tá ofegante e eu acho que não poderia ser diferente, já que... a daisy e o ryke são exatamente assim.
ver a personalidade deles ocupando cada página desse livro te deixa sem ar, porque eles nunca se soltam mesmo quando eles estão na velocidade máxima. e é surreal ver o quanto eles cresceram e o quanto o amor deles se tornou ainda mais bonito.
eu tenho poucas reclamações sobre esse livro, sinceramente. eu achei o plot bem desenvolvido e ele foi bem consistente. achei que a história não ficou tão repetitiva igual a dos outros livros e foi interessante acompanhar eles superarem seus limites pessoais mais delicados.
mesmo que o começo da história não tenha me instigado tanto... o final... nossa. me fez chorar, me fez rir, me fez me apaixonar por esses dois. eu queria que não acabasse nunca, sinceramente.

4.5— that was by far, my second favorite book from the series. The epilogue just melted my heart
