THE EPILOGUE 🥺🥺🥺. I am so sad I'm done this series. It truly was a favourite of mine and I will hold all 10 of these characters close to my heart.

this book brought me back to life, obsessed with Rio!!! He has to be my favorite male character of the series. His relationship with Hallie was so emotional

Idk what it is about final books that have been leaving me feeling like, idk, they’re lacking?

We did not get the usual Rio that we have grown to love and with this being his book that just leaves me feeling some type of way. Hallie felt really flat and without personality. I did not get the chemistry at all between Rio and Hallie that we have gotten in the other books with the other couples.

I was bored most of the time and really just couldn’t wait to be completed with this one.

The banter was lacking, the dialogue from other characters was lacking. I figured out the secret pretty quickly so when it was revealed I wasn’t shocked, at all. And I feel like the issues that caused Hallie and Rio could have been resolved 6 years before they were if they just had a conversation, which I’d fully expect them to be able to accomplish since they’d been friends and together for so many years by the time “the incident” occurred.

I still read this faster than the first three, mostly so I could be done and finally have this series complete.

I will reread the first 4 books but this one will stay looking cute on my shelf, I have no desire to reread and annotate this one at all. 

I am looking forward to Monte and Reese in March and really hoping it’s more along the lines of what we got with the other couples, which was pretty close to perfection.
