This...is all I've wanted from this finale. It broke my heart, shattered it, then pieced it all together in the last page. Not the perfect book ever written, I'll agree to that. But to me, this means a lot. Ravi and Pip mean a lot. Ravi and Pip will always be my favorite, always and forever and ever. Making a promise to them right now. I wished their was this reunion at the end, but knowing Pip, she'll certainly do everything she's said she'll do. I love them, I love this book. I love everyone who recommended this series to me.

This made me ugly cry. Like painful sobs and snots running cry. This is so well done. Such a good follow up to agggtm. Not sure if I'll ever get over this. I hope I don't. I want to stare at the walls at 3 am and think about this. Think about Stanley, Ravi, Jamie, Connor, Nat, Cara, even Max and most importantly, Pippa. I cried while reading this. Then I locked myself in the bathroom and cried until the world in front of me was just a blur.
