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 🥰 (
“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.

I understand that addicts lie, and I understand that their friends and family have to be borderline rude and apply tough love and not fumble to support them and push them into getting better and wanting to get better, but the way Lau and Ryke made a bet on Lily was so demeaning. And they have been very demeaning toward Lily a lot of time, even more, in the past two books, and it's quite annoying and frustrating. Especially Ryke. He is better in this book, and he now treats Lily better, and I understand that he did that because he was protective of Lauren, but you can be protective and not be a complete piece of shit and a complete asshole toward someone who is also struggling.
The relationship between Ryke and Daisy really rob me the wrong way. I know that she is been physically described as having a really grown body but as a quote-on-quote legal adult of 21 years old, all the flirting and sexual undertone between Ryke and Daisy should have never happened. The author could have perfectly made a friend-to-lover relationship between Ryke and Daisy without all of that. An age gap of 5 years is completely fine when there is no minor involved. And yeah Lauren reprimanded Ryke and he is now only friends with Daisy, and nothing will probably happen until she is legally an adult, but all of that was very borderline and uncalled for, in my opinion. They could have had a cute simple friendship without all of that flirtation and sexually related anything.
Connor and Rose are so cute. I love them, nothing bad to say about their relationship. But all the scenes where they are arguing and the rest of the group are simply watching always get me like 🧍🏿♀️🧍🏿🧍🏿♂️.

The way they let a sixteen-year-old go to spring break with tone of alcohol and shitty drunk man, and tried to make it okay because they would keep an eye on her. But also tried to make girl Stephanie (or wtv her name was) look like an ass because she REFUSED to serve rhum cocktail to a MINOR (even if her intention were not all pur) made me gasp. Also how they dragged an alcoholic to a party animal destination also fucked with me. But all went for his throat went he vomited because they taught he drank while it was his alcohol-infused fish. Make it make sense. When Lauren met his biological mom was heartbreaking. Like WOMEN, he did nothing to you. I get her, his dap took advantage of her while she was a minor, he SA her, she has all the right to resent him, but poor baby Laurent, that moment ... and how Lily consoled him. They really wanted me to cry.marine2907's review against another edition
