˗ˏˋ ★ REVIEW ★ ˎˊ˗
The nostalgic memories with this series will always keep me coming back for a re-read. While a few books made the plot seem dragged out I really enjoyed this series. Dramatic and over the top more times than not but that’s what makes it all the more entertaining.
Memorable things in this book though was Hanna and Mike getting married; and Hanna’s mom walking her down the aisle was so wholesome, I’m so happy for her. Her wedding was so cute and I’m glad her and Mike are the endgame. Spencer getting along with Melissa was so nice to read, everything they had been through finally being put behind them and both being able to not only get along but actually be there for each other. Aria being dramatic again and this time running away while on trial for murder… no way they could track her down 😐. And lastly, Emily being a total badass with this book—but way to worry everyone there for a while, bestie.
