I laughed out loud a few times with this book. A lovely coda to the series. The addition of creepy doll Alexander was a mixed experience and felt somewhat uneven as a plot device.

I’m not ready to say goodbye to these characters!! Especially not Allie & Dean, they’re my favorite! And I honestly don’t really know why, but as soon as I finished their part in the story, I immediately wanted to reread it! Same with their book in the series, I read it so fast I couldn’t put it down & immediately wanted to reread it when I finished. Hannah & Garrett are a close second though! 💜
I loved this book and getting to see everyone after graduation & starting their lives together, getting married, having kids; it’s just so magical! 🥰
Can I reread them all now? lol I know I have more books in the briar universe to read, like Fitzy & his friends stories & then the future story of G & H’s daughter. But I honestly just want to reread these ones again first! I have a problem! Lol 😬

Joyous. A lovely end to the original series, and a great opener to the future generation of Briar students. Now to reread The Graham Effect!

I have mixed feelings about this book. One one hand, I loved the characters in this series (for the most part—see my review for The Mistake), so I was excited to read more of them. It was also fun trying to guess which couple would get which storyline/milestone.
However, the plot was lacking for me. Since this was an epilogue book, I went into this hoping for 320 pages of pure fluff, and while there were some cute moments, there was a lot of miscommunication. For four couples whose paths to love were not exactly smooth sailing, I hoped for more growth in their communication styles after three years of being together. The drama that each of the couples go through felt a little forced.
That being said, there were a lot of really cute moments. The banter and shenanigans that I enjoyed from the first four books were there, and I laughed out loud every time Alexander made an appearance (I would explain more, but it would spoil it). But it was the bromance between Garrett, Dean, Logan, and Tucker that really stole the show.

Honestly, I am going to miss these guys. After reading The Deal earlier this year, to end up finishing with The Legacy, I'm gonna miss looking forwards to reading more of them.

Yeah, sure. I can just reread the books again, but it won't be the same as learning more about them and their personal growth as friends and partners.

This was a sweet ending for amazing and close friends, and I enjoyed it a lot.

I hope we get to see them make appearances in future Elle Kennedy’s books.
