“And then we end—we end where we started. Just us.
All six of us.”


no words... sobbed so much with what this book put me through and love I have for these six people. After 10 books of this entire Addicted series journey with Lily, Lo, Rose, Connor, Daisy and Ryke, I'm devastated we've reached the end. This epilogue, referencing the title was actually perfect just so many feelings of love, angst, struggles and laughs. Despite my issues with some of the previous books, I found this one to be so well balanced just everything I was looking for because all six perspectives in one book was exactly what I needed. I laughed, I cried, I fell in love with these characters all over again. Starting this final book was so nostalgic with knowing this was the last time I'd be reading their perspectives, with how they've come just so far especially having each other through all these years of ups and downs and having reached their best selves.

This is no coherent review really, just me dumping out my feelings about them. Following them as parents, having kids (looking directly at my best people coballoway with seven), and lows too as expected with loss and the intense media scrutiny particular dealing with their kids in the spotlight. But out of all this, the core six truly got all the happiness they deserved. I adored seeing the strength of each couple's love for one another stay so strong, seeing the love expressed constantly reminded me so much of each of their first few books, each couple's love is genuinely eternal. Lo, Ryke and Willow's sibling dynamic grow through this made my heart so full, I can't wait to read willowgarrison and also see Willow's perspective on her brothers. Lilo my best friends who went from enabling to their healthy love including keeping the other afloat, not dependent but instead always their for the other, that canoe scene of theirs I sobbed so much. Coballoway, my best intellectuals whose words is not just their power but love and with actions too. Seeing them raise so many kids was a joy to read how they are as parents and they were outstanding as expected. Raisy the wildest souls, kbr was sick for the trauma they went through in long way down but them with their two daughters made my heart burst. I'm just so emotional they've carved up a huge space in my heart that this was a hard goodbye as reading this whole series, readers get to grow with them and seeing them at their highest and lowest points. I can't wait to reread this series again in hopefully the near future and come home to my core six.

“Look how far we’ve come. Look at us now. Ache for ache. Smile for smile. I only ever wanted to live this life with her.”
