Well, I enjoyed the journey, but I hated the ending!  This entire time for each installment, there were some banger cliffhangera to the point where I almost expected some ambiguity for the finale.

I love these books, I was so invested in the story and I actually shed some tears.
Trigger warnings for so many topics, please check them cus even for me it was very hard to read. 
That's the reason why I've given these books 3 stars, both because of the topics and also because the story was just that damn good. Abby, you did an amazing job writing these controversial books. I loved them, and I hate them because of everything Lana had to endure.

Twist ending, did not see coming and was shocked repeatedly towards the end. Very creative ending and very bittersweet but a bit more practical and realistic
