A wonderful conclusion that was fitting for Tessa and Hardin! This series has me yelling at them both, wishing they would get their shit together. It was nice for them to find themselves and grow!

What a train wreck of a series. What a train wreck of a relationship.

“When you love people, you don’t let them destroy you along with themselves, you don’t allow them to drag you through the mud. You try to help them, try to save them, but the moment that your love is one-sided or selfish, if you keep trying, you are a fool.”

Tessa, you said this and Tessa you are a fool.

I hate the romanticisation of abusive relationships and I hate that they ended up together.

Anna does a good job of writing a female who has been sucked in by an abusive, narcissistic sociopath to the point that they question their own behaviour and feel like they’re the problem. I would have loved this book to have had Tessa actually be recommended therapy and have gone to therapy to be able to leave this abusive clusterfuck of a relationship and hightail it out of there and not eventually go back to Hardin.

Also, of course Zed had to be made into a bad guy with only one thing on his mind. But that’s only okay for a character to be if his name is Hardin.

Moral of the story: give up everything for an abusive POS so he can have you (and your dreams) just so you can have him.

“I’m sorry that I couldn’t fix you,” I tell him while softly stroking his damp hair.
“Me, too,” he cries against my legs.”


it is never your job to fix someone. the only person you should feel responsible to heal is yourself

Harry Styles deserves better.

This is was honestly the best book in the entire series. It was the only one I felt like I couldn't put down. Todd could have honestly taken bits of the first couple of books and ended with this book. The first three 700pg books were not needed lol. Although I'm still pissed about the mystery surrounded Landon's Happy Ever After. We better be getting a book on Landon.

Ugh the last couple of pages sums up the way this entire series could have been written. Tessa is still annoying and I wish we got more of them as parents instead of being dumb idiots. Rip Liam Payne

This was probably my favourite of the series, you really saw a change in Hardin it was annoying how long it took to get here but it happened and it made me like their relationship at the end. Didn’t like the first quarter much though until they left London.

I really want to say I didn’t like this book. But I really did. This series has been a rollercoaster and the first three books were wild to say the least. The relationship between Tessa and Hardin was toxic and that word itself can’t even describe the fuckedupness that happened during this series.

But oh my god, I cannot deny that this last book didn’t make up for all of it. I’m a victim of loving clichés, okay??

I do wish the other books would have been more like the last one. The earlier books were too long and contained tooooo many fucked up turns to my liking. But of course I can’t forget the fact that this was born as a fanfic so I can’t really 1. be surprised 2. like at all.

I do need to add this though: the movie fucking sucked, but who’s surprised ay.

I loved the ending. Glad Tessa and Hardin finally worked through their sh*t! It was soo dang hard to read sometimes. I wanted to punch Hardin and Tessa both in the face depending on the chapter.
