He is as much a part of me as the sun is a part of the sky, as the Earth is to the universe.

when i saw that this book was almost twice as long as the previous two, i got nervous bc sometimes authors ruin their own books with too much ambition and filler. however, this one did not disappoint.

lily and lo reunite after his stint in rehab, but can she handle her greatest temptation?

i loved watching them overcoming obstacles together, and i think the ritchie sisters handled writing addiction and the therapy around it with tact and sensitivity. i'm rooting for these two so hard and even with their challenges this book, i'm seeing them hit couple goals status and i love it 🥰 (
the comic store/coffeeshop?? OMG SO CUTE
). their growth as individuals and as a couple is everything and i can't wait to see them continue this journey.

“Sometimes the person we think we’ll become is the person we already are, and the person we truly become is the person we least expect.”

connor and rose are just the best in this as well. connor again stealing scenes with his witty quips, but also seeing him break down rose's walls is so satisfying and romantic. rose is such a supportive, amazing sister to lily in this book, we love to see book sisters like this 🩵 i'm also getting really excited for daisy and ryke's story!

while this book had me STRESSING for them, on the edge of my seat, sometimes ready to FIGHT (dr. evan it's on SIGHT), it was such a satisfying roller coaster. this series is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

She is my past, my present, my future. So when I open the door and slide into the driver’s seat, I’m not surprised that it feels like I’m returning home.

3.5⭐
Alright, so, I feel like this book was really important for ALL the characters development. We saw them go through all types of things and how being sober from their addiction changed Lily and Lo's life compared to "Addicted To You"(book1). I had my suspicions about the leaker but never would've I had connected who it actually was. Maybe I should have had my suspicions when Jonathan refused to say the name but beat me, he hasn't been the most trustworthy character in the series. I was honestly really suspicious about Allison, Lily's therapist, but now I'm really happy she's back to her.. especially after what that fcker ,Dr Evans(?), tried to do to her. I thought they would show us a much more cruel reality when it comes to the press and Lily's addiction but we still have 2 books and the end of their deal with their parents sooo..yeah.
AND BRIAN, LOREN'S THERAPIST, I LOVE HIM. Like, we literally only had one scene with him but I hope we see more of them. 
As for the relationships, I can feel the bond between Loren and Connor and Connor and Lily grows stronger. The next book is gonna be his, so I hope we get more of them. I loved the improvement of Lo and Rose relationship and how he defends her.
 During their trip they depicted well, what Lo missed cuz he was drunk or in rehab, which I didn't expect. One thing about that trip that I liked was how Lo was the only one weirded out by Daisy and Rike. I don't really care about them and I find Lily's reaction to them funny but it's not like it's normal. Not for the age gap but only cuz despite being more mature than others she's still sixteen. 
Another thing I loved was the development of Rike and Lo's bond. Especially that ending chapter after discovering the leaker identity 🥹.
Honestly I was planning on giving a lower rating cuz it took me a while to get through the first 50/60% of the book but I really liked the rest. It wasn't a 4 star but neither a 3 so, I think 3.5 fits it.

I definitely enjoyed seeing Lo and Lily together as a true couple for once.  They went through tough times in this book, but they decided they loved each other more than their addictions.  

I love how much and how hard Lo loves Lily, it’s so sweet.  I know their relationship is slightly toxic, but I think they’d both be worse off without each other.

Also such a great cast of side characters and can’t wait to read the stories from the other Calloway sisters.

This book changed EVERYTHING. It pulled all my emotions out caught myself smiling, screaming, and crying. I already feel the main six are more than just characters in a book. Book 3 was a true turning point in my new addiction to this series.
