I love, love, love this book, so much I cried at the end. I'm so excited to see the movie! This whole series is beautiful. I never wanted it to end. Anna Todd you are an amazing author, thank you for bringing this series into the world. If you want a heart bending, steamy, romantic, emotional read; this is a great series to read. I would 100% read this entire series again, over and over.

Finally, (finally!) the Tessa and Hardin show some progress and satisfying character development. This book picks up right after the previous one when Hardin discovers that Vance is actually his father, not Ken. It starts with a bang and doesn’t stop until the end. Both of them continue to struggle with their family issues, Hardin, continues to be an asshole (but slightly less so), and Tessa slowly but surely begins to develop a backbone. For all of you readers who have been silently yelling at both of them to get their acts together, this book is for you. Tessa finally manages to leave Hardin about 2/3 of the way through the book, which was understandably hard, but was the best thing for both of them. She moves to New York City with Landon and starts a life on her own terms, while Hardin finally seeks out the therapy he’s needed since he was a child. The space allows them to grow on their own, yet they still never stop having feelings for each other. The last part of the book jumps forward in time over several years, which I really liked, because it really showed the character development and maturity, especially for Hardin. Todd wraps it up nicely and I finished the book feeling exhausted, but in a happy and satisfying way. I’m glad I stuck around for the fully series. I give it an A.

All I can say is I FINALLY finished. After reading this book non stop, I am most definitely ready to put them behind me. This book was not like the others as the drama wasn't as repetitive and annoying. In this novel, there was some much needed growth and separation, but the delivery felt flat and ended up feeling more like a chore to finish. The ending was strange as you kept jumping ahead several months and years - just get on with it!

Overall, if you're like me and want to see it through since you've invested so much time finish the series but, I'm not going to recommend it. This series was more stressful than great storytelling.

I will not continue with the next as I am not particularly interested in the past events. They happened, molded them for who they are now and I just don't want to invest more time.

Hardin and Tessa are the most toxic book couple I have ever read about holy sh*t! They break up and get back together like 70 times across the 4 books it’s actually madness!

Like at some point you gotta call the quits and realise the relationship was done… right?

Anywho, this book was not short for drama, breakups and makeups, and obviously they got their happy ending… finally!
