”Gwen, I need you. Like my next breath. It’s… I can’t breathe without you.”

this series came to an end pretty prematurely compared to the author’s previous ones, and I’m definitely left with an Elsie Silver book hangover- craving more.

Wild Card was no surprise—I simply devoured it. It had that forbidden “ex-boyfriend’s dad arc” that was truly addictive and made it impossible not to crave more from the characters and the story. revisiting Rose Hill was, without contest, a nostalgic experience, especially since this is the last installment. We had a final glance at beloved characters from earlier books living out their happily-ever-afters, and it was absolutely heartwarming.

Gwen is what we can describe as a nomadic and free-spirited woman, a yoga instructor who’s been through some tough battles, yet still found a way to connect with herself on deeply introspective and inspiring levels. Bash is at the antipodes of her character: hard, a veritable grump who divides his sacred time between his heroic profession—piloting firefighting planes—bowling, and taking care of his very old friend, Clyde, who in my opinion was the highlight of this novel. but Gwen and Bash had one thing in common: their scars. both of them were portrayed with flaws that shattered my poor heart into pieces, but they played a beautiful role in their journey of finding each other, rediscovering each other, and most importantly, falling in love with each other.

I think I’d better stop on this note, because I could go on and on and probably spoil one or two points. some of the books in the Rose Hill series are my favorites by this author, but this one might have stolen my heart from start to finish.

many thanks to Periwinkle Pony PR for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!
