"You’re peace and chaos wrapped in a gorgeous package, and I don’t know what to do with you.”

This story had a lot that I liked, but a lot of it was the side characters. Evie's story was interesting, and I always enjoy a lil religious trauma in a backstory. Savage had some growth and tough lessons to learn. This was insta-love. I love how Evie was independent while being spoiled by Savage.

There were so many sub-plots with side characters it was a little hard to keep up. And those sub-plots went at warp speed. For example... We met Clementine and her mom in 1 paragraph, and then the next time we read about them, they are a family with Virgil. Speaking of Virgil, do the Jackson family(tattoo shop) get books? They were very prominent in the first half of the book. Does Ghost get a book with a certain sister? Will we see more of the teens in the mc and their hea's?

The epilogue was sweet, and I'm glad the main couple found their happy, but I just felt like this story felt rushed and smooshed into one book.

The Easter egg of the new book series was nice, and I will read the first one when it's out.

This was a terrible wrap up story. I knew the series needed to end, but this final installment was not good. 

In a rush to have all the characters find matches, anytime a new woman showed up you could just about guarantee that she was going to be falling in love with a single boy in the story. 

In my opinion, the series should’ve ended with Ghost & Brielle. It would’ve been truly full circle and we could’ve focused on savage’s story with a few side characters. 

I loved the cult part of it, but they’d bring in love by chapter 12 was annoying because most of the book after that part was purely filler.
