Long Way Down by Krista Ritchie

Oh where do I even begin with this series.
I only started this series back in November because I was curious about all the hype and talk about the Calloway sisters that I decided to pick up Addicted To You to see what everyone was talking about. And I'm so glad that I did because this series have become a part of me. It feels like I have this series in my life forever when that is far from the truth. If Twilight was the start of my reading career and The Hunger Games was the golden highlight of my teenage years then this series is the heart and soul of my twenties that will stay with me probably forever.
I started out loving Loren and Lily and their love for one another, so strong, so unyielding, they made glad that this is my first NA Series. And then there's Connor and Rose who are so smart and so fierce and compliment each other so well. But God Ryke and Daisy just hit me so hard. I don't know if I can put into words about how much I love them.
In this book we get to see how much Ryke and Daisy's relationship have evolved and developed. From friendship to flirting to forbidden romance they are finally together without fear.
I love Daisy and Ryke for their passion, for their selflessness, their loyalty and their love for their friends and families. They are not just wild and carefree, they are more than that.
Daisy who battles PSTD and depression have been through so much. She grew up having to listen to what everyone wants from her, not what she wants for herself. She have grown and she now was able to find a voice of her own, to speak her mind the way she wants to. She is bright, brave, strong, bold and I couldn't be prouder of her.
Ryke who is viewed as aggressive is so much more than what people see on the outside. Deep down I think I might be really be similar to Ryke because of how we carry ourselves, of how we might not be as expressive about our feeling as other people but doesn't mean that we don't feel a certain way. Ryke cares so much, too much sometimes. He have grown to be more open instead of keeping things to himself. He is honest, selfless, passionate, confident and strong willed and I wouldn't have him any other way.
I couldn't be happier with this book. The way the Ritchie Sisters were able to display not only their romantic relationship but also their relationships with the rest of the gang and other characters like their family members and side friends like Sully. The friendships and the family love is another aspect I really like about this series and no one was left behind or sideline in this book.
To me this book is the wildest, most heart wrenching book of the entire series (you all know why if you read the book) and I expected no less from the sisters. I love this book, this series, and this couple so much. It is amazing when a book can hit you hard during a second or third or fourth read like the first time you picked it up. Ryke and Daisy has made me smile and laugh and cry. They have shown me not to worry about judgement of other people, to speak up about things I believe in, in opening up to people even if it's a small group of people, in moving forward, to forgive and best of all to stay wild and free and to do what I want and is passionate about in life. I cannot for the love of me describe them well enough in words.
I couldn't ask for a better conclusion with my fave characters and fave couple of all time. This is not the end because there is still Some Kind of Perfect to look forward to (I can already tell I won't survive it) and these books will always be here for me to revisit whenever I need them.
