Every Little Thing

When Paisley and Harper's relationship was first teased in book one, I knew I'd fall in love with them. Their dynamic seemed so chaotic and fun. And this book absolutely delivers. But their relationship is more than that, so much more than that. Paisley and Harper both have so, so much more depth than initially let on, and uncovering their hidden depths is a captivating, painful, and thrilling journey, one that I absolutely could not put down.

It's not just Paisley and Harper that are outstanding, either. Nobody wastes away into happily ever after. Every single character continues to grow and struggle, both in their romantic relationships and in their interpersonal ones. Literally every single major character from throughout the series is given a satisfying ending to their arcs, and I couldn't be happier with the way this series ended. I'm definitely not forgetting about Bayview anytime soon.

The latter half of this book takes some absolutely insane turns, ones I wouldn't dare spoil. So, spoilers below:

I basically cried my way through the latter half of this book. Harper and Paisley's heartbreak just felt so, so real. And Harper coming back only to leave again only twisted the knife further.And of course, the big twist. The best twists totally shock you, while feeling completely setup in retrospect. And this one absolutely, totally was. Harper being Lindsay trying to live up to her sister's dreams not only fits the final pieces into this book's plot into place, but completely recontextualizes her character in the previous books in a way that adds so, so much extra depth.Comparatively a much smaller spoiler, but I absolutely adored Paisley's glow up/rediscovery arc. It hit a little too close to home in the best way possible, and parallels Lindsay's own journey perfectly. Watching these two come into their own was an absolute joy, I seriously loved every single second of this experience.

I'm probably rambling by now, but I absolutely adored this book. It's more than worth your time, especially if you've already read the previous two books (which you should, because they're also amazing). I'll be thinking (and crying, and smiling) about this book (and series) for a long time.
