Ollie and Lennon are one of my favorites in this series but their story here didn’t live up to my expectations. And I never expected Maddox to become so happy and content with commitment. Damon is really the rock supporting this friend group and it was nice to see him finally deciding to invest more time for themselves than his work. They were not my favorite couple when I read Trick Play but I have really come to love them so much.ĭamon and Maddox’s story is sweet and hilarious and I would have expected nothing less when Maddy is present. But this story was more about Matt coming to accept that he would never have a relationship with his parents and he did a great job taking care of his siblings. Noah and Matt are amazing together and it was wonderful to see Noah become such a different person from how he started.

And once it did, I had to read immediately though it was late in the evening because there was no way I was gonna wait. Since the day Eden announced that there would be a final short story collection for the series, I have been very excited for it and spent the last two days checking my kindle to see if the ARC dropped.

My ARC copy of the book was provided by the author in exchange for a fair, unbiased review.

I'd rate this final chapter of the series at around 4.5 stars and happily round that up, thanks to all of the Happily Ever Afters in this crazy series. I'll miss them all dearly, but Eden did allude to other stories in the same universe, so fingers crossed there. This story gave me ALL THE FEELS and I was sad to read the last page, since this series has been one of my very favorites of the last couple of years. In short, this is the book where ' the boys' finally grew into full-fledged adults, while still retaining all of their weird, wonderful, and let's face it, over-sexed ways. The book contained all of the signature humor and irreverence of the series, along with a good deal of steam however, it also covered more serious subjects, such as proposals, weddings ( and non-weddings), career changes, and having children. This story was such a blast and I'm thrilled that Eden decided to write this five-epilogue book to more tightly wrap up the futures of all of the ' fake (and not-so-fake) boyfriends' that we've come to love over the course of this series.
