Holy fuck. I don't think I've ever cried so much while reading a book in my entire life. It seemed as though I couldn't read a chapter without bursting into tears.
As much as I've detested a) Carmen and b) books 2-4, I really enjoyed what this book had to offer. It offered fantastic closure and so much was resolved for those that have stuck with the series for this long. And yes, once again, I wonder whether Carmen ever learns from her past mistakes because her she is, fucking everything up again. And yes, once again, I wonder if ANY of them are going to change and redeem themselves. They don't. Of course. But, I can kind of see why this never happens. The reason why they constantly revert to their weak and low points is because they aren't being loving themselves and each other. They aren't moving with each other. When they make their mistakes and when the reader exclaims, "COME ON!", they're very much alone in their journeys.
Here, we find them suffering alone in their tragedies but eventually coming together (obviously) and finding friendship and love. Finally. Took long enough.
4/5
