So glad I pushed through and finished this today, each one took 2 days. Read around an all day event. So much was happening there for a while, it was like a whirlwind. Not happy with how everything turned out, but it was a happy ending. I’m so upset there wasn’t more time dedicated to them and it didn’t happen until the very end. I misremembered some since I’ve only read once. So much time wasted.

My what a start. Does not feel like the finale with the way all this stupid crap is happening on the sidelines, to distract from the fact that there isn’t much of a plot. The same dynamic, rinse and repeat. And to make it worse, she has MORE happen with the wrong guy. I just can’t. Where is the romance?! Take it there already.

Jan 30 Just glad to be done. It left off on a good note but I didn't get what I wanted. Things happened too close to the end for it to be fulfilling and the plot was a total mess with a massive letdown of a conclusion. The writing sucked and nothing got better.

Jan 28 The writing isn't good or interesting. I'm not invested. Things happening that I don't like, repetitive, bad plot. Feels like a snail's pace. A few nice comments and funny lines, but I'm not enjoying this at all.
