Another home run! This series is 4 for 4! Love all the characters, and the author did a good job of making this about the lovebirds while also giving closure for the series.

Appreciated we got Isha's love story as well. Gave us a break from the Emma adaptation, which is a Jane Austen story that I've grown to enjoy more but is admittedly not my favorite. 

I thought all themes were treated respectfully. I was mildly surprised we didn't dig into a couple of things, like

Vansh's mild eating disorder and the hint that Naina's father broke her arm as a child but that Naina has blocked this out

; they were treated more like IYKYK. But I guess not everything needs to be so spelled out!

Masterful ending to the series. I was little worried how I would like Naina as romantic lead when I didn't like her in the last book. But she was beautifully fleshed out in this book and I fell in love with flawed damaged heroine. I don't know how anyone can dislike her.

Maybe if they don't understand how abuse can effect a child into adulthood. How it can effect relationships and the need to push people away to protect yourself. But I found her very human.

Vansh made for dashing leading man.

As someone with a learning disability I really liked the angle of his learning disability and how it effected his relationships and interaction with the world. You are always self conscious of it and family reactions play a huge part.

I found the subplot romance so interesting I wish we got a whole book telling their story. There was a few times I felt like Rajas sounded out of character given the previous characterizations in other books. But if you stick with the story all is explained. The ending felt a little rushed but I forgive that because the book was so good

I received an ARC of this book and was so excited. I loved the first three and this one did not disappoint. I definitely recommend as it ties up the series nicely. 

Sex scenes are not F2B but limited in detail.
