Holly Jackson, how does it feel to end the emotional stability of a poor young woman in disgrace? 

Hi, I introduce myself. I'm that poor young woman in distress. After a great series of events, full of secrets, betrayals and surprises, this story has come to an end. I really can't believe how long it's taken me to read these books, but I absolutely refused to suffer any more than I already had. Spoiler Alert: I ended up destroyed. 

By the end of this great story I had concluded several things:

1) My desire to study criminology and forensic medicine is still within me and makes me hesitate to change my career. 

2) I don't have the emotional stability to be a criminologist but it is worth dreaming.

3) I want a Ravi in my life. Correction, I <b> need </b> a Ravi in my life. Will I ever get one? I don't think so. Do I feel sad about that? Clearly. 

I understand that most people didn't like this book, mostly because of the lack of mystery, however I liked it. I loved reading that sequence and that the title of the first book had even more impact on the story. 

I definitely loved this book series.
