5 stars.

This was an emotional roller coaster. Wow. I can't believe I finished this series so quickly! It was actually better than I thought it would be.

The book started as I thought it would with Hardin and his typical mood swings and then shifted when Tessa went back to the apartment. I honestly was not expecting that. It was a total shocker and what followed after was just... Ugh. Not hard to read, but I felt connected to the characters and almost felt like I felt the pain too.

Honestly, for this to have started as a Harry Styles fanfiction I wasn't expecting much from it. And it is obvious it's not the most amazing literature masterpiece that's ever been written but it was a fun read. If there wasn't so much drama it probably would have been a quicker read but it still was extremely easy to read and I do recommend it. (It probably would have been a quicker read if I didn't have to take breaks in between because I was so caught up in the drama lol.)

I throughly enjoyed the series and can't wait to read Before to get a little insight into Hardin's mind.

i hate to say this, it is paining me, but this was actually not bad :////

The saga concludes with Tessa and Hardin facing the final challenge of their relationship. The narrative brings the story to a satisfying close, exploring themes of forgiveness and self-discovery. The characters have come a long way since the first book and show remarkable growth.

What a crazy roller coaster! I enjoyed the ride for the most part, but for a final book it ended terribly... I’m glad it ended with the clique happily ever after, but it skipped a lot of years in a short period of time and I hated that, especially when what was skipped seemed pretty damn important. The last two chapters went from two years later, one year after that, two years later, six years later, and then to ten years later - which is way too much for such a short book. I don’t know if this was an editing mishap or whether it was originally written that way, but it was a mistake. Overall, I’m not disappointed that I read it, but just wish it was handled better.

3 ⭐️

finally finished and woohoo I have some thoughts overall:

I don't understand why they stay together after everything. I feel like Tessa and Hardin are one of those couples that after the series is done would've broken up (probably would've gotten back together as they did throughout the series as well)

I did enjoy the series as a whole but it was also incredibly difficult as I feel like a lot happened that didn't need too.

Anyway, I don't know what else to say because my brain hurts lol

My favorite love story! Happiness does exist at the end of the tunnel. It just has to be the right time for both of them.

Even though I read this 3 time I still had a heart attack during this book.

Spicy: 3

2.5 STARS BECAUSE i was very proud that Tessa CAME TO HER FREAKIN SENSES.
but also it was a good ish ending.
still a bad book though so i mean, read at your own risk.
**NOTE** I skipped around 60% of the book. I couldn't stand to read about how they fought, made up, fought, kissed, made up, fought, cried. OVER AND OVER AGAIN. A GIRL CAN ONLY TAKE SO MUCH.
I AM FINALLY DONE.

This book made up for all the other ones! I loved Hardin and Tessa’s happily ever after, it was nowhere near perfect to get there. I hated their toxicity at first but they finally got it right!
The part about Tessa having a miscarriage broke me, I absolutely felt that!
