This is a lot of rambling, I am trying to sort my thoughts. I read this series way back when on the good ole wattpad. My worldview is much different than it was back then lol.
I am so glad it is over. I had to put this book down and stop reading it for over a month because I was just so sick of Hardin and Tessa. I only finished this book because I had to return it to the library and I would have been put on a waitlist to renew it.
I was sick of both of their shit. The first book, I felt for Tessa, now I almost felt guilty for hating her. I really hated how she kept trying to see other men (ex. Robert) knowing she couldn't move on from Hardin. But, I don't fault her 100% for that either. I guess I could never do what Tessa did, where a guy continually fucks up and I just let him run all over me, so that's why I ended up disliking her? I am not entirely sure.
I am very glad she saw Zed for who he was. I am also glad we learned why Zed and Hardin had major beef. Zed bothered me, even from the beginning. Hardin bothered me. Honestly, everyone bothered me. Wait I take that back, Karen and Smith were great. I usually enjoy seeing everyone's flaws and people truly loving everyone despite their flaws, but not this time. All I could say was WHY???????? to Christian, to Kimberly, to Trish, to Hardin, to Tessa, I could keep going but I would just name everyone in the whole series. ALL these people need a lot of therapy.
I enjoyed the part about hearing about Trevor's sex life LMAO
The last bit of the book where it was skipping years ahead was written wonderfully. It hit everything I wanted to know quickly after the extremely long series. I am glad they ended up together at the end. But, was I just not reading carefully enough or did I just google who Landon married for nothing?
This was a roller coaster of emotions. This is not at all criticizing Anna Todd's writing, because she DID amazing on creating such COMPLEX characters with such an amazing slow but chaotic plot. I am mostly critiquing the character's themselves.
I love you Anna Todd. I loved this book series.
