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.

I loved this book so much. The two perspectives of Lily and Lo really add to the story as we are able to delve deeper into their own individual stories, issues and struggles that they face and overcome throughout the book. The dynamic of the 6 main characters are amazing and i love how they all have a bigger role in the story. This is truely a found family series and i loved how they can support and lean on one another throughout the story and events that unfold. I was shocked when I found out who the leak was and I truely feel sorry for them. But I loved the ending of the story and how they were able to make amends and push through even after all the stuff that they had to go through.

3.75 stars. Okay-I finished lol. This book is so long. I read it in three days but it feels like it's been two weeks. I feel like this could have been cut down a bit and it would have still been the same thing. This book made me fall in love with Lily and Lo, especially Lo. This was about Lo's return home from rehab and navigating his life with Lily and Lily getting help with her addiction. It was emotional at times but it was good. I liked reading about them on vacation, I thought that was fun but it kinda went a bit downhill for me once they went back home. A lot of the plot began feeling like filler. Despite all the drama, I thought some parts weren't that necessary. It was also kind of dramatic at times ngl. The ending was cute though.
I think this book solidifies the friendship between the six of them and that was nice to see. I actually didn't mind Ryke this time around but when it comes to Daisy, I still don't like him lol. About Daisy, she's so immature to me. I know the authors keep trying to make her seem older and mature but I'm not buying it. She's 16 years old, and it shows. She's a rebellious teen. As for Rose and Connor, they actually took a bit of a backseat for me lol. I was really into Lily and Lo's story. This a was pretty decent read overall.

People weren't lying when they said things pick up once you get to the 3rd book. This was definitely better than the first two. There were more things happening plot-wise, there was more at stake, and alot more development and closeness of the characters' relationships.

I adored Loren's development from overcoming his addiciton as well as seeing his struggle to maintain his sobriety as well. And I love love love how he ADORES Lily and ultimately just wants the best for her. He was actually being the boyfriend that Lily deserves.

I also admire that we really got to see Lily struggle to get better. I've been rooting for her and felt sympathy for her since book 1. I can't wait to see her get better!

Again! Loved Rose and Conner (not that big of a fan of them individually, but they just work as a couple). I can't wait to read their book.

I really felt the friendship between the characters in this book and am gradually seeing the formation of "the core six". I also enjoyed them diving into their parental relationships as well. I can't wait to connect with the characters as much as everyone else does.

One thing that did aggravate me and something that I will never get over is Ryke and Daisy. They know how inappropriate their relationship is and yet the authors are gonna pursue them anyways. I just can't get behind it.
