“The greatest medicine on Earth isn’t a pill. It’s compassion. The ability to make someone feel less alone.”
The beautiful conclusion to the Addicted and Calloway Sisters series was bittersweet to read. I don’t think I could ever get enough of these characters and reading this conclusion was like a love letter to readers that endured the heartache, tears and love for the core six.
I really didn’t want this series to end so I took my time reading this last book over the last couple weeks. I found myself falling very attached to their children in this book. I will definitely be reading the spin off series about their kids.
You get glimpses of their children and the hardships they endure dealing with the media interference in their lives and the pressures that come with having such infamous parents. The scene when Ben wants to run away because he doesn’t feel like he fits in had my heart in shreds as did the scene when Luna gets bullied by the girls at her first sleepover that write Weirdo on her forehead in permanent marker or when Maximoff struggles with rumours about his Uncle Ryke being his biological father but every time the family rallies behind one another.
“Our bad days have the ability to become better. It may be a horrible month. A horrible year. But there will be good days, good moments, great seconds.”
The Cobalts “Ensemble” Together to make sure Ben knows he is necessary in their lives and that he is loved for his difference, similarities and for who he is. Luna’s cousins Eliot and Tom overhear their parents talking about what happened to her so they decide to write Weirdo on their forehands in permanent marker because if kids are going to call Luna weirdo then that means they are weirdos too. Maximoff is comforted by both his father and uncle Ryke about what the tabloids say although you can feel this being an ongoing internal struggle for him in the future, at least he has his family's support.
“We speak of moving mountains, but sometimes people can completely rotate the world, just so someone else can land upright on their feet.”
This entire series is profoundly about the core six and their support, loyalty and love for one another and this book showed proof that it’s forever.
“Your worth isn’t dictated by the number of friends you have. You can have zero friends and still be the most amazing, spectacular person in the whole galaxy.”
“Having children has been like viewing the Titanic a million times in succession. I could cry at the stupidest, silliest, most inane and nauseatingly adorable moments. I could cry at the sight of any of them, for any reason, for anything. I take a deep, vital breath that grips my heart.”

In a scene from this book, Connor quoted Walt Whitman. "Happiness, knowledge, not in another place but this place, not in another hour but this hour".Having binged Calloways for a number of weeks, I have to say that these authors are awesome and this book is a perfect adieu to the Calloways and to Lo, Ryke, Connor and friends.Written from six points-of-view, this book is filled with vignettes that will bring you to every emotion you have come to expect from the Calloways/Addicted series. A five star finish.

Bent up book
By Asha on 21 February 2022
After taking almost an entire month longer than estimated, it arrived so bent and messed up. I'm so disappointed. Ita completely bent, it's even made the pages curvy and bent. I have no idea how I can fix this, or if it's even going to be fixable.
