In the final story of the Walker sisters, Lily turns sixteen and while she feels like all of her sisters found themselves during their sixteenth years, she feels lost. At school, she joins a writing class with her friends and a boy she likes and hopes to impress. The boy can't appreciate her for who she is and she puts on a dark air, dressing in all black and writing only darkly ironic stories and alienating all her old friends in the process.
I think I liked this one the most but it still wasn't that great. How easily Lily was swayed by the boy she liked bothered me a lot, she basically turns into a very different person from the get-go, turning from a sweet, quiet girl into a wannabe hipster who gets enjoyment in putting others down and casts off what good writing talent she has to be popular. Lily also finds her great-great (or something to that effect) grandmother's diaries in an old box and gets inspiration from the hardships described in them.
During this story, Rose & Stephen begin a family together and the girls' mother opens a restaurant, and her mother remarries. It was a satisfying ending to the story and wrapped up all the loose ends of the book. It leaves you with a pretty good feeling.

Lily is the final sister to turn sixteen. The house is more empty now, and Lily is more alone, but she finds companionship from an unlikely source, her grandmother's diaries.
In order to impress a boy, she starts dressing like she's goth, but really she love clothes and vintage things.
This is the last book of the series, and I was really sad when it was all over because over the course of the books I really got to love the girls.
