Ahhh man!!! Where do I begin. First, I just want to say how much I’ve enjoyed this series. Loved the diversity, the friendships, the family dynamics and the love. Gabe and Izzy’s story happens to be my favorite because I could relate to some of the issues they’ve faced together. Neither one is perfect but it was beautiful how they put in the work to be better and healthier for themselves and for each other. I’ll miss them but I’m glad I read the series. Lauren Lacey did her thing and I’ll forever be a fan. Looking forward to future books 😃
