What a fantastic way to wrap up the series!! I had been waiting for Xandar’s story, even if I wasn’t sure how it was going to work out with all his issues. I have to say it surprised me with how much  I liked Xander and Derek’s relationship. I loved this series finale! 

 

One of the things I really liked is that the timeline in the book isn’t rushed. Xander needs time to work in his mental health and accept that he needs help. 

Derek and Xander begin stablishing a friendship which later on works as a foundation for their romantic relationship. They both have things to work on in relation with their mental health, and I like that not everything is treated together. There’s aspects that they have to work on their own, and even if Xander doesn’t agree at the begining, he ends up respecting Derek’s boundries. Derek respects and understands that Xander and Seven come as a package deal, and the friendship that he forms with the other Bertha boys (and partners) is really wonderful too. 

 

I really loved the book and it made me emotional at the end with how wonderfuly wrapped up was the series.
