      @@salinasjb it’s sad yet satisfying . I don’t read books with sad endings (I haven’t read fault in our stars) but this one was worth it and in a thousand boy kisses the book ends sadly but you will get a happy ending in the epilogue.

    I had the exact same feelings when I read the Italian by tl Swan, It literally got me so excited while reading it but after some “reflection time” I kind of was annoyed with enrico’s behavior but at the same time I was literally obsessed with him… so this is really confusing… but I didn’t read any mix her other books but I plan on reading Giuliano’s one because the small mentions of him in the Italian had me hooked,, I also have a lot of plot suspicion so I’m really excited to see if things happen the was k thought they would… anyway, thank you for your recs!💞

    i actually have similar thoughts on TL swan after reading The Stopover from her and i felt conflicted like you bc a lot of people seem to like that series 😭😭 but yea the characters from that book were so annoying and toxic to each other imo, especially the guy. i just feel like there are so many other romances out there that i don't mind giving up on that author's books!

      The Stopover was bad, I didn‘t like it at all. The second book however… showstopping, incredible, amazing. It‘s the best single parent romance ever, it‘s hilarious and so sweet. 🥲 It felt like those two books were written by a completely different author 😂

    I totally agree with you Laura on the last book. I just really loved Until The End. We have seen glimpses Rock and Trisha from the very first book in the series, and I wanted to know their story, which is also good, no doubt about that. But What I truly appreciated that the book has all ther other couples' like recent time extended epilogue. Because when I like a book, I always wants to know about their current whereabouts.

    I have to say, I gave Until the End a 4 solid stars. I loved this series. I just wished Trisha and Rock's story was thoroughly explained. It was to short for my taste. It had a gripping storyline that should have been expanded, not cut short. They deserve a full novel especially, being the last book of this series. Then you have the epilogue. It was good. You get to revisit all your Sea Breeze couples and read what they been up to. In my opinion, Trisha and Rock's story and the epilogue-revisiting the Sea Breeze couples should have been separated into 2 novellas.
