RAVI SINGH THE MAN THAT YOU ARE 🤩🤩🤩

everyone who has so vehemently disliked this ending clearly just hates to see a girlboss win 💅🏽💅🏽💅🏽

In all seriousness I owe miss Holly Jackson the biggest of apologies because so many things in the first book of the series that I just chalked up to plot holes/loose strings/little oopsies of a first-time author were actually me just not understanding her gorgeous giant galaxy brain like miss ma'am had a PLAN and it all came together so beautifully it actually made me want to re-read the whole series immediately after finishing this book (I won't, but, ya know… I REALLY want to……… maybe in the next year or two 😅😅😅).

I've seen some reviews from people who were dissatisfied with this ending to the trilogy commenting on how it felt "out of character" and it "completely deviated" from the first two and, while everyone's opinion and the way they interpret a book is obviously extremely subjecting and there is no such thing as a "right" opinion (in most cases, at least?  😜😜😜), I really and truly felt like everything led up to exactly what this book came to be.  The ending felt like a full-circle moment, where everything had changed yet the situation felt almost the exact same as in the beginning, as if it were a mirror-image, and it left me really having to think about whether or not anything can ever truly be just black and white, or if there will always be the greys in between.

i dnf’d this a year ago and came back to it now and realized i dropped it right before it got really interesting lol. anyways it made perfect sense for the story to continue in this direction i loved it the only thing stopping me from giving it a full 5 stars is that i feel like the beginning isn’t as interesting as the story actually is but maybe thats just me
