First I would like to say that this book was perfect to end the series. It was so heartwarming to see all the characters from the previous books and of course characters from the book itself. It tied everything up in a excellent way! I literally don’t want the series to stop. These books consumed me and the characters were so lovable.
Ok moving onto the actual book. I’ve heard some complaints that this books characters take forever to get together. But personally I loved it. It was nice to see them both want each other but not want to react on it. The time it took for them together wasn’t just “passing” moments. The moments were real and raw and gave the characters to really learn about each other before getting in a relationship. They had conversations that most couples would have in a relationship and most likely fight about, but they had these conversations as friends. So it was almost easier for them to start an relationship. I loved the characters and the way they both are pinning for each other. They are really a perfect match. Stella is lovable and cute! I also love her aesthetic! Stella was a boss woman she was creating her brand and really diving into who she really is as a person, which I loved. Christian I loved him as well. I loved all the ways he bends his rules for Stella. Some of the different things he did were so sweet. It shows his vulnerable side. He is so tender when it comes to Stella, as much so that I want somebody to be like that to me! The only thing I wasn’t a huge fan of the fact he sort of stalk her, but I did love the fact he kept that ring. He barely even knew her and kept the ring because it reminded him of her. Ugh Christian is literally so head over heels in love with from the start and that’s why the book is worth the wait for them to be a couple.
Anyways, I want to read this book again for the first time! It’s definitely one of those books that after you read it you think about the different scenes again for awhile. This series is wonderful! I am not huge series reader, so they fact that I read all 4 books, and one of those books had over 500 pages, then this series is an AMAZING! I get intimidated by books with 500+ page. I give a round of applause to Ana Huang for writing such lovable characters and interesting plots!👏🏻💗
