5.0
I'm glad that this was the last book of the series, because for me this was the most successful of the series. I think there was a lot of leadup to Sage and Belmont's stories but it was well worth it. I think that this did provide a lot of needed backstory on Sage, and while it felt a little short I think it was otherwise well done.
I do feel like the search for Belmont's dad was sort of neglected after the buildup and then tossed in at the end, but honestly I was so invested in seeing Sage and Belmont happy together that I didn't mind.

Minor: Death of parent
As with all the books in this series, the road trip the family is on started due to the death of their mother Sage has a pretty rough family history, coming from a family with parents in a toxic relationship with each other and with alcohol. It turns out that Belmont also has his own share of childhood abuse suffered at the hands of his step father that led to what are essentially panic attacks following the incident.hellowildflower's review against another edition
