I honestly found this painful to get through, it just dragged on!
I actually liked some of the things the book was trying to say, but I didn’t enjoy the way it was done - personally I think it should have been a lot more subtle.
And I think Nick’s character took a big step back in this book. In the two first books he was one of the only normal/rational/down to earth people, but his obsession with

keeping the house,

while I understand it was sentimental, and it was described as this heroic act? To me it just showed that he can be just as bad as everyone else… It is completely NORMAL

to sell a house after someone dies if you don’t have the means to keep it!

Anyways I actually really liked the epilogue, I think it was a nice ending with a good outcome for everyone:)

I was so close to dnfing bc the some of the side stories were so boring and dragged for way to long. I liked how it ended overall but I don’t think I would pick this series up again.

How is it possible that this book had even MORE drama than the last ones!? There were definitely some parts that were frustrating and emotional. It really shows you how awful some people can be? But wow did the ending make up for it! I absolutely loved the wrap up of the ending and was so happy to see how things turned out for a few characters! I couldn't believe how attached I got to some of these characters. Such a good ending to the trilogy!!
