** spoiler alert ** 
 I read this book in one day...technically one night...and oh how I missed my sleep. But it was worth it, I think. I epically liked the first three books of the Sisterhood series. I probably would have liked if it ended with three books, since I was rather underwhelmed by the fourth book. But when I heard there was a new Sisterhood book out, and it would jump in time to when they were almost 30 (an age I can relate with now, even if I didn't quite match the girls in the first few books), I knew I would definitely want to read it. 
 I had read the first chapter or two from the excerpt posted on the author's website, and I was expecting a very different kind of storyline. I'm sure I realized that there would be conflict of some sort, but not nearly to the extent that happened. 
 Out of the epic sadness, though, I think I liked Bee's story the best. I never particularly liked Carmen, so I wasn't terribly interested in her story, and hers doesn't seem to come into play as much until later in the book. Back when the fourth book came out, I had this whole thing about getting annoyed with the constant Lena/Kostos back and forth, and I can't say I really cared still by this point, but I liked how it played out (even if I still think she should've stuck with Paul back in the third book). 
 Overall this was a good continuation/conclusion to the series, more so I think, than the fourth book.
