Okay, I’m so thrilled that the series didn't go downhill at any point. I didn’t know what to expect of the last book but this wasn’t what I was expecting and I was so pleasantly surprised by how Tahereh Mafi did it all. This book was exciting and is a perfect conclusion to it all. 

It’s been a delightful time journeying with everyone, getting to experience everything with them.

I’m glad she released another novella after this. The ending left me wanting more. It wasn’t enough!

If you asked me if I liked this book 300 pages in I would have said no. Honestly this book sucked. Boring and gross and depressing. But Mafi manages to once again make a full recovery in the end. I even cried. I hate to say it but the end was so sweet the whole gross Anderson thing seems less offensive.

I don't know how I felt about this book. I liked the flashbacks from Ella to Juliette and how that changed her behaviour. I don't understand why Emmaline wasn't talked about enough? After Oceania she wasn't spoken about again. I would've liked to see more interactions between Adam + James and Kenji + Nazeera. I also don't fully understand why Aaron was still rude to everyone even though he has good relationships with most of them and doesn't have any reason to dislike them. All of the interactions between Juliette and Anderson made me so uncomfortable, especially because she found him attractive. Overall, I sort of struggled to get through it around the mid way point. However, "come back to me, love" killed me.
