“When love was real, so was forever.”

I'm literally in tears right now.
My emotions are all over the place.



Getting to be a fan of this series, a part of the whole family, and someone who has been emotionally engaged to the stories right from the beginning had made it so hard to accept what happened.
Although there were parts that annoyed me, where first:
Cami and Trenton finding out the truth immediately about Thomas's plan and overreacting every time someone mentions more "secrets", I mean come on. The family isn't in a situation now where everyone starts competing and splitting apart
, and second:
they had to kill off Olive?!?! Just like that. WHY! and then not even mentioning her funeral, and jumping off to Jim's final funeral ignoring the fact that her death affected Trenton, Cami, Falyn and Taylor! I mean, for reals?


Overall, I just couldn't let go of it easily. Of course I can't elaborate more about who was it, reasons, plot twists, BUT I gotta say that the last chapter was my faaaavorite, and it shattered my heart into pieces. It was indeed a beautiful funeral, I couldn't help but sob at the ending.

Thank you very much [a:Jamie McGuire|4464118|Jamie McGuire|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1479315727p2/4464118.jpg] for writing such a beautiful closure <3 I felt belonged to everything they've been through, joy and sorrow, each word in every sentence felt so real.
