Wouldn't it have been better to release Thrive first as it fits in with the timeline?
Don't think I'm judging your choices because I'm not I swear lol!! I'm just slightly confused because doesn't everything in Thrive happen between KTS and HF?
So why not release that first before HF? Will it be confusing reading it after HF?
Answer:
We’d be happy to clear this up!
Remember Thrive is a #2.5. It’s way more character-driven than plot-driven. Imagine us releasing Thrive before Kiss the Sky. Every big twist in Kiss the Sky would be foiled and essentially kind of lame. Same goes for Hothouse Flower. Thrive spoils the plot twists and big reveals in those books because it spans the time during KTS and HF.
The point of Thrive is to have what happens between Addicted for Now and Addicted After All in Lily and Lo’s POV. If you really only want to read the Addicted series and have no interest in the two spin-offs, then Thrive is there to catch you up. You can look at it like the best bonus material from KTS and HF only in different POVs.
Once you read Hothouse Flower, you should realize just how important it is to read Thrive after the spin-offs. There’s multiple big plot twists that would just be unraveled if you read Thrive first. Very anti-climactic. So that’s why we suggest reading them in this order.
But of course, there are multiple ways to read the series. You don’t have to read Thrive at all. The same way you don’t have to read Ricochet. But you’ll get SO much more out of the series if you read all of them in the order we suggest.
It shouldn’t be confusing at all to read Thrive after Hothouse Flower. That’s how it’s intended. You’ll have to trust us on this one! :)

FIRST OFFICIAL THRIVE TEASER POSTER: The quote is from the book
Thrive releases June 27th, 2014 and is a companion novel in the Addicted series. It bridges the gap between Addicted for Now (#2) and Addicted After All (#3). Calloway Sisters fans will want to read it for all the Kiss the Sky and Hothouse Flower moments told in Lily and Lo's POVs!
Just a little over a month left! Woooot! 
I hope they reveal the names that Lily and Lo chose. Because is it me or are (view spoiler)
IS IT JULY YET??? Seriously, I am itching to read this... my patience is wearing off! I miss the Addicted cast like whoah!
SO EXCITED FOR THRIVE

I've heard that Amazon doesn't let Indie authors set up pre-orders. So, we might not be able to pre-order it.
I've read all the books released to date and have some questions after reading some opening pages of Thrive. *Spoilers ahead if you haven't read Calloway sisters novels.*If Rose is still a virgin and Daisy is still 16, then the reality series hasn't happened, and the wedding being planned is just the original ultimatum Li-Lo wedding, right?
It looks like the paparazzi following Lo and Lilly around is just due to release of the news of her sex addiction, not the reality series, right?
Is Lo still living at home?
I'm so confused.
I havent started yet so I am prob not the one to answer this, but I think Thrive follows the timeline of KtS and HHF, starting from before the reality show, throughout reality show, and then a bit after??Cant wait tos ee what they were up to when they were hiding out in their room away from the others! Although its Lilly so I am sure we can guess!
I cannot get over how amazing this book was!
