an exceptional ending to the dr. harper patient files series!! i have absolutely fallen in love with these main characters and although i’m incredibly sad that their story has concluded, i love the happy ending they all received. i’ve seen everyone saying that the second book is the best book but in my opinion, this third book soars above the rest. after spending 7 hours today reading thorough the absolute roller coaster that is the dr. harper patient files trilogy, i can 100% say that finally reaching a heartwarming and satisfying conclusion made the journey more than worth it. i absolutely adore harper, noah, james, zach, and  kierra with my entire heart. i cannot wait to read the prequel!!

i know i say it all the time but…i ADORE this book. i’ve heard quite a lot about it but finally decided to check it out when i found someone selling the first 3 books for $12…and i’m so incredibly happy that i did!! growing up i was a huge fan of creepypastas and reddit horror stories so this book gets all the nostalgia points!
i didn’t expect each short story to connect in the end and that detail is possibly my favorite of them all! the overall storyline that runs throughout each short story is wonderfully developed and detailed. i couldn’t predict any of the twists and was left stunned at the end of each short story! 
noah and elliot are 100% one of my top book couples and i want to see their happy ending SO BAD.!!! 
i don’t understand why so many people are upset about the “hippa violations” or blurring of professional boundaries…it’s a fictional book. a fake story. the characters aren’t real people. it’s sad that so many of you claim to be readers but can’t tell the difference between reality and fiction…maybe you need to set up an appointment with dr harper ;)
as someone who is currently studying psychology in the hopes of becoming a therapist, i think dr harper did an amazing job researching for this book and found each description incredibly interesting. 
i devoured this book in under 2 1/2 hours and will be jumping into the next story IMMEDIATELY. 5 stars.
