Never have I hated a main couple so much, and loved them at the same time! Credit where credit's due... Tarryn Fisher definitely knows how to write her characters. In the end, I think that's the point. These people are flawed, they make stupid mistakes, involve other people in their toxic decisions, and manipulate, lie and cheat. But I guess it just makes them feel all the more real.
Did I appreciate getting Caleb's POV on everything that happened in past books? Yes! But it also made me so much more frustrated at the miscommunication and lack of guts from both main characters to fight for what they actually wanted (especially if their love was so legendary). All we get is 10+ years of needless suffering and a bittersweet ending. Even after everything that happened, I was still rooting for Caleb and Olivia, what does that say about me? Lol. Glad my opinion on Leah didn't change, what a despicable human!
Even though this wasn't a typical romance - I've seen people describe this as a second chance, but it definitely doesn't feel like it (it's much more complex than that), I was hooked on this series from the start. It's definitely an underrated trilogy in my opinion.

This woman is ABSOLUTELY vile! I did love Sam telling her how it is most of the time, giving her a little dose of much needed reality given how delusional she is.
Cannot get enough of this series!!

I had to really think about how to rate this as this has many tropes that I do not enjoy, miscommunication, cheating, the main couple being separate for most of the book, both main characters acting foolishly. But it just goes to show how well this story was told, and the writing was *chef's kiss* that I couldn't rate it badly. Even though, that ending left me distraught.
I got so invested in this couple, and just wanted to scream at Olivia so she would stop being her own worst enemy. But then Caleb didn't handle things in the best way either. He knew how guarded she was with her feelings, so why the mind games to get her to open up in the way he wanted? In the end, they played a game neither of them could win.
