I really dragged this book out because I simply didn’t want the series to finish! It was such a lovely ending to the 8 books. I’m so sad that it’s all over!

It's the end of an era! I can't believe that after
nearly 10 years of reading 'I Heart' books,
this is the final book in the series. . .
I have absolutely loved the 'I Heart' series!
It was great to reunite with Angela, Jenny, and the gang to see what hijinks and catastrophes they could get up to, this time in Hawaii.
Cocktail-infused shenanigans, mum guilt, slander, and a best forgotten incident with a horse all made up this wild adventure.
I loved that this book's undertones were a little bit more serious than those of its predecessors. It felt like watching the characters mature.
Without giving anything away, I thought the ending was absolutely fantastic and gave the story a very smart twist.
I'm holding out hope that maybe one day we might get to return to see what they're all getting up to.

I discovered Lindsey’s genius writing through this special ‘I Heart’ series years ago and I have actually lost count for how many times I’ve re read this series in between waiting for the next instalment.
What an exceptional way to end the I Heart series! I actually feel quite emotional finishing ‘I Heart Hawaii’ knowing there won’t be another book to follow on.
I love both Angela and Jenny equally but for very different reasons as they are both very unique characters. Whilst reading this story it was like meeting up with old friends and Lindsey had a way of bringing in other events and characters of previous books in the series to make you laugh and fondly remember. Angela is trying to have it all being a new mother to Alice, going back to work then she has to deal with The MOB gang! - they are a bunch of other amusing characters. I would love to have Alex as a husband, he is so supportive of Angela and a wonderful father to Alice.
The setting of Hawaii was magical and this is definitely a place I would love to go to. Obviously it wouldn’t be a trip that goes smoothly with Jenny in charge (but I won’t go into details!) I was laughing and I was crying, not sure how Lindsey does it but I would love to know. Genuinely didn’t want it to end but I couldn’t stop turning the pages! 😊
‘I Heart Hawaii’ to me is about friendship, family, love and being there for each other especially when times get tough ❤️ I would give ‘I Heart Hawaii’ a million stars, actually make that for the whole I Heart series!

I didn't realize this was book 8 of a series.
I imagine reading the others would make me like these characters more but also don't think it's necessary from a plot perspective. If I wasn't reading for a challenge I would have dropped it.

this book was like reminding us of all the fun of the series...all the craziness of their trips and chaos. their trip to Hawaii was insane...with Jenny and of course Jame tagging along.
I love the ending...LOVE it. I have written it in detail in my journal but not gonna spoil it here, all I would say is , we get the full circle in the end.❤

This book gets 5 stars for being a series that has drawn me in again and again over 10 years! Whenever I’m in a reading funk I know I’ll race through one of the I Heart series. They are heart warming, funny, relatable and I sobbed my way through the last chapter because I’m sad this is the final book about Angela and the whole gang!

Okay so I’ve been putting off writing this review because once I’ve written it…it means it’s over, and I’m not ready for that
