This was so cute. However, even though I enjoyed the book, I reached a point in the book when I felt a bit bored because nothing really exciting was happening. I wanted lots of drama and angst and there was not much of that in this final book. But I still enjoyed reading about Ruby and James fighting for their love and their dreams. By the end of the book I was so happy for both of them. I also liked reading about Ember’s and Wren’s story. I wish there was a bit more of Alistair’s and Kesh’s love story, but once they figured out their differences, I can totally see why there were no more of Alistair’s POV. The same happened with Lydia. Which I totally get since they all are the secondary characters and the main focus had to be on James and Ruby.
Anyway, I liked the ending, but the way things were solved were a little too convenient for my liking. So even if I am happy with the ending and I’m going to miss these characters, the ending felt rushed, in my opinion.
Other than that, I think this series is very beautiful with a lovely message. I think I would have loved reading this book back when I was a teenager or maybe even when I was in the university because it dealt with the existential crisis we all go through in those years about our future and our life while at the same time trying to discover who we truly are in this scary and big world. This is a love story, but it has more depth than that and I like that, when books give me something more than just entertainment. So if you are a someone in these age range or maybe you are feeling lost, consider giving this book a try, you might find yourself connecting with at least one of these characters.
And even if you are in your late twenties, like me, you can still totally read these books. There were some things that I could still relate to.
