This was the perfect ending to the series! And once I finished it left me feeling happy with how everything for wrapped up. In this last episode Mia goes to a cabin in a mountain town to interview some local artists and spend Christmas there. Mia gets a surprise when she arrives there and there is one more issue to deal with. I could understand why she handled things the way she did and it must be difficult for her to deal with that. I did think it explained a lot and gave us one more piece to understand. A few things made a bit more sense now and I couldn't help but feel sorry for this person.

So there was one more issue for Mia to deal with and then there were the interviews with the local artist, but that was only a small part. For the most part this book is about the issue and besides that it's nicely wrapping up the series with a fun Christmas spent with her new family. It was heartwarming and made me happy to see her have her first Christmas tree and a fun holiday. I could really feel her happiness and I am so happy for Mia that after this whole journey she found her place. You could really feel her love and care for the people around there.

It was an uplifting and perfect ending to the series and the line Trust the Journey really fits. After everything she has been through it's great to see how she has changed and the new person she has become and how she's found her place. There is a sweet epilogue from Wes his point of view and then we get to see how all the other side characters are doing, which I thought was a great addition. As Mia meets so many people along the way and it was neat to see how everyone their life will continue afterwards.

To summarize: this was the perfect ending to the series. It made me feel happy and satisfied with how things ended. There's one more issue for Mia to deal with and I am glad we got that last piece as it did explain a few things and I thought it was handled realistically. It is a heartwarming and fulfilling ending to the series. I especially liked how we got to see how all the side characters Mia met throughout the books were doing at the end. And it's just so amazing to see how Mia has changed throughout this series and how she finally found love, family and a place to belong. All in all a great ending to this series!
