I was hoping this final book would put that bang in the series, and as much as I liked the book, I didn't love it as much as I was hoping. I think that is mostly due to Lola and how I couldn't really connect with her. She's a self-made woman, very motivated and dedicated. As an individual, I really liked her. When it came to relationships though, that was her flaw, and with how she treated Oliver and their relationship, both being in the moment and out of it, made me disconnect from her. I knew this was all basically new to her, but it just felt weird to me how she handled everything and I just didn't care for her as much as I would have otherwise. 
 Oliver, on the other hand, was great. He's got that hot, sexy nerd thing going on and I loved it. It did feel weird how they went from friends with hidden feelings to full-blown lovers, but CL made it work. Maybe it's because you can easily see the sexual tension there from the previous books and even from the beginning of this book, so I knew it was coming. In any case, Oliver was so patient and understanding with Lola. He expressed his feelings for her perfectly and was just so amazing through and through. I will admit that there was one jerk moment, but it was kind of minor/petty, so it didn't faze me. 
 If anything, I have to give it to these ladies when it comes to writing style. Something about how they string those words together keeps me flipping the pages. I love the characters they create, but I really love how they tell their stories. It's how they take a friends-to-lovers trope and make it different from all the others and despite it not totally living up to my expectations, it still managed to draw my attention in and kept it. That speaks wonders to CL's writing ability in my opinion. 
 So yeah, despite my not connecting with Lola, I still managed to enjoy the book. This is a great series overall.
