CECELIA YOU BAD BITCHHHHH! You outsmarted and beat the master at his own game! This whole series was incredible and I was not expecting that ending. I think this was my favorite of the series, dual POV with Tobias and Cecelia, that’s how it should have been for all of the books in my opinion. I am confused on why the epilogue with Sean was the same in both exodus and the finish line though? I loved these books so much I had to buy the physical copies of them. 💕

Although I might not have pictured the ending at all, I’m not mad. I will say this book out of the 3 was the slowest to read, and man does Cecelia complain/fight a lot. Less spicy than the first two. I like the story line and seeing Tobias practically beg daily.

Not really a spoiler but my favorite “aw” scene ever was the Halloween chapter. 

The way it ended had my heart stomped on again, but in a good way?! 

I wish there was another book to fill in more gaps, or even POV’s from Sean and Dom for the first two books, that would be incredible although I know it’s her last addition to this series. Seeing Tobias’ POV was my favorite part of this book. Maybe that’s because Cecelia has a long inner monologue and maybe it’s because Tobias had more depth than he let on, but one thing for sure is the *spicy scenes* from the perspective of Tobias were incredible.

I MISS DOMMMMMM!!! and … “pup” got me good.
