i need to sit down and think about this one but damn what the hell was that??? this book .... even tho it took me a while to read it and i do hate myself for it, it was really good, more darkish than the other two, more "mature" and wow wasn't ready for all of that!!! still i think the first one and the second ilare my faves and pip my strong badass girl can't believe she DID THAT just damn!! and ravi my sweet sweet ravi i felt so heartbroken because of what pip had to do to save him and to keep him save, my heart broke so much i just can't explain! AND THE ENDING?? why just....... WHY i need a minute or two or even years jesus 
but it's over the trilogy is over and i really really liked it, it has everything and i might continue reading more holly jackson books let's go

I LOVE HENRY SO MUCH halle deserves the world, i know her family wasn't really doing all those stuff to upset her but jesus can't a girl breathe?? i didn't like her family that much but at the end when halle finally talked to her mom and told her the truth and how she truly felt about everything and all, they worked it out hopefully it got better and yeah henry founding someone who understands him better and will always no matter what be there for him it's truly beautiful, their journey and story was of growth and also putting yourself first and them helping each other ugh so good!!

i have been excited for halsey's book since the first one but not that im disappointed but i didn't like some parts, where i thought the author kinda rushed the scene and the develop with his family idk felt like we know he doesn't really talk to his parents and his older brother after loosing his twin, his family was in ruins but when he wanted to connect with them, i felt like it was rushed and i needed a little bit more of it or at least him with his brother but overall i loved blakely and halsey's banter and connection and the development of their feelings, from kinda strangers to roommates to friends to lovers and getting to know each other and finally blakely looking at halsey with other eyes and getting feelings for him because that man was already there since the beginning they were so hot and so cute and at first so awkward but in a funny way and i love them and blakely being there for him no matter what and  having the job of her dreams with the man of her dreams she didn't know she truly needed it was good!
just a little bit disappointed that's all and now posey just needs his happy ending i will definitely read his book soon!!

ok i think they're my faves right now!! idk there's just something about garrett and then about harper and their personalities and their chemistry that i just loved it and was obsessed!! there was a few moments i was like "hm this is going too fast for my liking" but at the same time i just love them and even tho there's a killer on the loose and garrett is trying to get him and he thinks the killer is now going after harper there's a twist and it was intriguing and fun so overall claire kingsley books just give me cozy vibes with mystery in it and good banter and family moments that i just love ugh!! then owen?? please that kid is my fave! he deserves the world, the way he was connecting with harper so cute and so wholesome my little family! i seriously need luke to have the next book but if it's theo im not mad about it ansjsk but i really want luke's 🤭

they were sooooo good!! the i love you part and moment kinda happened a little bit too fast for me but i love them and their story was cute and zachary always having a crush on marigold was obviously so ansksksk love when that happens and then marigold finally finding her happy ever after with him kinda like the one for her was always in front of her but he was always too stubborn to come forward ehehe nothing really much to say just loved it and claire kingsley books always brings me comfort soo they're not an exception automatically i loved it and was so fun and the mystery too, of course i figured it out who Preston really was, it was kinda obvious but still intriguing and there was a little bit of action too so it was fun!!

omg omg omg JACOB I NEED JACOB IN MY LIFE I NEED HIM I LOVE HIM IM SO UGH this book was everything, even tho i can't deny i want to slap them and get sense into their heads, i think their story was just so cute and wholesome and about growth and learning to trust again and to love again and it was so beautiful i can't, i had to finish this at almost one am but sleep is overrated anyways!! 
briana was just a free spirit and even tho what her ex husband did to her she never truly lost her fire tho she had toratn how to love again and to trust deeply again, it was little emotional to read but she did it, and with the help with jacob she truly did and finally has the family she deserves it ugh i want to cry, i can't really be mad at her for some attitudes because i never went through something like that and she was hurting so bad can't really fault her but she overcome it and they're together and their journey was so fun and cute and die i said wholesome??? because ugh the fake dating and them having to be affectionate through each other and romantic and all with jacob anxiety was really fun to watch
jacob is a sweetheart who just needed someone to fully understand him and he found it, she just was a little lost and he helped because he's the best man ever i just ugh i love him!!!
truly this book GO READ THIS BOOK, i mean any book by abby jimenez really but this was ugh so so wholesome i can't find another word for it im sorry ajsjsj just so everything and about growth and trust and finding yourself and overcoming your biggest fears and not alone just beautiful!!
tho I loved this book so much, i think the happy ever after playlist is still my number one hehe 🤭🥹

still processing because i had the best time reading it and at the same time i wasn't really that obsessed but russ and rory just belong together and how they both needed each other how they were so supportive of each other how they were always there not matter what, they needed that and they got it and it was so beautiful!
hannah grace's writing feels like home and it's so cozy but also really emotional and at the same time fun and so feel good i love it i truly do!! 
russ got me by surprise, really loved that man, the way he was so simp for rory and how he always praised her jesus what a man indeed! rory was a badass, funny and also so kind and trying the best possible way to be ther for russ no matter what, even when he kinda pushed her away, she always came back to truly show him she's not going anywhere and how loyal she is loved it!! 
now yeah henry here i come, so excited for his book!!! also xander? the friend from camp was really fun too i think he deserves a book also the group friend is so wholesome i love them, kinda didn't mind if some of them had books too ehehe 🤭

ok this one was a splendid surprise omg i loved ever my second of it, ollie my girl ollie I want her confidence i want her strength jesus i loved her from the second i met her, so easygoing and so care free but also so kind and caring and loves deeply, truly loved her character, kinda can relate to her, because when i fully get comfortable with someone im kinda like her, her personality and joking around and all and caring deeply so i love her, she might be my fave right now!! sila this man went through hell but so glad he found happiness with ollie and tho they have an age gap, they complete each other and i think thats beautiful 
i was surprised how much i loved their journey and their story, tho not a 5 stars because the "conflict" was not it and i didn't really liked it but i kinda suspected it was going to be something like that, but ollie has a great amazing superior best friend who couldn't not interfere and talk some sense to silas so that helped it was fun!! also the bond between the guys is just so cute and funny i love them!! truly have the best time with this series
