I went into this book with wrong expectations which kind of ruined it for me. I thought it was a follow-up to Tessa and Hardin's story but it wasn't like that. Instead, I got an insight into the other characters like Trish and Vance, and even Molly. Why Molly turned out how she is and I really liked that. Maybe if I re-read it I would rate it differently. 

Was mich gestört hat, ist dass es viele Sprünge gab die verwirrend sind. Jedoch habe ich die Tessa und Hardin vermisst und war sehr glücklich ein weiteres Buch über die beiden zu lesen :).

Can´t remember a single think that happened in the book which would be worth mentioning - quite unnecessary.

what an awesome conclusion to an iffy series. id say this one, and after we fell are BY FAR the best books of the series. this book held so much insight, into Molly's, Steph's, Zed's, Landon's, Natalie's and Melissa's lives, it truly was spectacular. ALSO, getting to see little Emery and Auden was awesome. i just wish we had a book for logan and molly, they're so interesting.

After loving the "After" series so much - I feel as though this final book in the instalment was just written to write something else. It had chapters for almost every single character but whilst in their POV, it still focused on the main characters and then didn't come around to their POV again, so it just didn't make much sense to me. I loved the whole After franchise despite it being YA, but I wouldn't pick this one up again if I did a re-read.

So.... This book was something else. Before was not on the plan to read, but I bought all the books in paper back (Why I have no idea, I just know that I wanted them even though this isn't my favourite series of all time.)

But this book, even though I didn't looooooove it, it drew me in by the time we got the following things.
✔ Hessa (Why do I say this was awesome? Because it was rushed in the last book, and it could have been a whole nother book on the future but nope, I got what I got and well... I did get upset, but this helped recover it.)
✔ Multiple end POV (Why was this good? Well you see, it was interesting to see the happy endings she was giving Zed, Landon, Vance, and Smith. I love this writer, but these lives were fucked up ha-ha)

In the end it kind of got to be the best part, even though my cat decided he wanted to take a bite out of page 319. Who knows what possessed him to do it? Cats man, anyway.
I've finished my first entire big book series in a year.

Wonderful and chaotic feelings ensue when reading this book series.
I shall miss hard in and Tessa for a while.
