….that’s it?? That’s the ending? How anticlimactic! How unfulfilling!
You read six books only to hear the same lines over and over and over but you stick with it desperately hoping you’ll get the feeling back from the first couple books. Then the ending comes and it’s like J Bree stopped caring about the story and about the characters. The tap ran dry and she said “all right better wrap this up quick”. It’s so upsetting! What a waste of time and, frankly, money.
While I’m not a fan of a pregnancy trope or a flash forward this is an instance I would have loved to see something like that. A flash forward to like 10 or 15 years in the future where them and all their friends have beautiful big families. There’s even quite a heavy amount of referencing to children, family, and future family building in this book. I was really expecting something like that in the end or at least in the epilogue.
If we didn’t get that we should have at least gotten a college graduate Oli who really knew who she was and what her purpose beyond having hot and heavy sex is. But the epilogue is basically “hehe I’m still baby idk what I’ll do with my life”. Wtf didn’t Felix tell Oli “maybe you should be a psychologist”? It’s an obvious path but hey what’s continuity, am I right?
I’m so pissed off I read this whole ass series so this ridiculously unsatisfying ending. Sigh.
Also what the hell happened to Kieran and Riley?????
