What I like in this conclusion is that the characters did not make stupid decisions and their trust in selected people paid off.
Since Blue is with West now, can I just keep Ricky? He really is one SeXy BeAsT. (I wish.)

I loved it. However, if Gossip Girl isn't your thing then this book probably isn't for you.

Purely from an overall enjoyment point of view I had to see how it would end for Blue & West!

Blue & West Angsty Lovely Perfection
I absolutely loved and adored this final book!! It gave me everything I wanted and needed. Blue & West fought for their love! I couldn't wait to see how the story concluded❤️
I was satisfied with the ending of B&W’s story, though I would love more epilgolues

Audiobook via Hoopla.
Narrators did so well! I loved each of their ranges and they fit the characters.
Oh my goodness, when I say I want a HEA, this is it! No sadness left in sight and everything resolved. The story was so good and kept me entertained. Do these characters sound like they are in high school based on their actions? No. Did some of their maturity sound like they were older? Yup.
The way West went from being the guy with the rep for sleeping with all those girls to loving Blue 🫠

I’m all for a high school bully romance book. Books 1-3 are about the same cops, West and Blue. But it was too long. It really could been figured out in 2 books.

for me
I didn’t like this series. It felt like it when on wayyyy too long. I’m a fast reader and it took me months to get the will to finish this book. I will admit I’ve recently discovered/changed where I don’t like high school romances. But besides that this series was too long. Each book was basically the same thing until the end of this book. I’m not a dnf person but I would have for this series most likely. The whole pandora thing was cool but also not. It was super cringey at times especially because it is literally just a rip off of gossip girl. Like she’s literally gossip girl but named pandora. West was cute after they got together. I will admit that west and blue together are literally so cute and I love how much he loves her. It this series was just made into one book I would probably rate it higher. But it isn’t and I can’t rate it higher. There were too many points that were unnecessary. Vin getting taken down was kind of anticlimactic and for a 3 book drawn out series it was like nothing. We also never found out who pandora is unless that’s in the bonus context I haven’t read that yet so. I didn’t like how it seem like no matter what west and blue were just always having sex. Like everytime something happens sex. I’ll admit it could just be showing how some people connect and cope but I just didn’t like it at times. It seem to happen right after another. Overall it truly was just drawn out and I didn’t i it. The characters are great and the plot is good until it isn’t which is most of the time. I liked like 20% of the book. Characters were great but I can’t overlook the plot. I wouldn’t recommend personally as I need both. 2/5

the way this series just fell off for me... sigh
I loved the first book it was so interesting with the gossip girl type feel to the book but as the series continued the plot just seemed so far-fetched for a bunch of teenagers. i know it's fiction but there has to be some semblance of normality for the readers to believe/relate to right?
i just felt like this book had so many filler/mundane moments, focus on other characters, and not enough romance??? most of the book involved blue and west trying to get west's dad to leave them alone but the whole thing just dragged on and on, which meant their actual relationship wasn't developed at all and everything that unfolded ended up being anti-climactic because i was just bored.
west's personality seemed to do a 180. authors if your selling your H as this cocky, bully/asshole don't just turn him into a fucking simp 2 seconds later. they can still be cocky/assholey whilst loving the heroine? the sappy dialogue becomes cheesy and in this case, their chemistry just vanished. I'm also not interested in west's brothers enough to read their books next :/
