Renée Ahdieh, I tried SO hard to understand why you took the final book in the series here and why, and I just couldn’t let go of my absolute discontent for the way everything came to a close.  I completely respect and admire giving the two main characters time to grow and develop individually, but WHAT WAS THAT ENDING?! 😩😠 Overall, I don’t regret reading the series. I completely ADORED book one, loved book two, felt pretty hopeful after three, but was left at the end with my feelings mirroring the title of this last one. [The] Ruined.
