PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS FOR THIS BOOK!!!!!! There are some INTENSE triggers for most people in this book.
I waited all series for Lily's book and this did not disappoint! The rollercoaster of emotions here was wild but fit well with the characters for all they went through. Mason was everything I didn't know I needed to end this series.
-.25 stars - only because her nickname"little bird" gave me the ick sometimes.
-.25 stars - because of the new cover. Ok look, I am not usually picky about art, but this art DROVE ME INSANE. Why? Lily is described at 5'2 in the book, and Mason... HE IS 6'6/6'7!!!!! Okay fine, we love a height gap, but they are OVER A FULL FOOT difference in height. Now look at that cover.. they are MAYBE 2-3 inches in height difference.... WHAT?!? What artist made this? They obviously didn't read the book because their height difference is talked about A LOT. How could Emily allow this to happen? How did the publisher allow this to happen? Every time I opened the audiobook I got distracted from the story because all I could think about was how INCORRECT the cover image was.
Overall great ending to the series! Loved the wrap up - Becca was HILARIOUS, got teary over Jax, loved how Blakely came into the group, and we love Chase.
