What a beautiful conclusion to this series. 🥹 I really grew to love this town and these characters and felt like I was really there with them during parts of these stories. 

Beau and Bailey were everything and more. I think I knew from the start they were going to end up together, from Bailey’s first appearance in Flawless. The age gap was done so so so well, usually age gaps like theirs kinda icks me out if it isn’t done properly but this was flawless. Seeing Beau work through his trauma and find his purpose in civilian life was so empowering and following Bailey through her internal struggle to command respect and ultimately getting that was very satisfying. 

Small towns are no joke when it comes to last names so how this was handled was spot on. I can’t wait to jump into Elsie’s other stories. 🫶🏻
