This series was absolutely phenomenal and even though I am sad the story has an end, it’s something as a reader you always love & hate to happen because of the author did it right, the characters become real to you. I have to say this series gave me all the feels numerous times & my kind & heart went on the journey with these two main characters & there were plenty of times over reading the pages that i literally lol or had a huge smile on my face or going from tearing up to outright crying. Thank you Ivy for putting so much of you into your stories & making them more relatable. Thank you for standing up & being vulnerable.

This was an amazing conclusion to the series I love everything I laugh cry and love Matt and Brooklyn. It’s been a journey with these two characters. Rob and Tanner are hilarious and Tanner character is a Mysterious I can’t wait to continue to read his book. Matt and Jacob is so cute and adorable. Nigel is a menace as always. After being kidnapped Brooklyn doesn’t want to get out of the house and Matt is trying to help her but it seem everything. He does Brooklyn gets mad and it’s not helping. I’m so happy we finally get a happy ending and no more cliffhanger but also sad it end

I rarely leave a review however, this is a must. Read this series in 3 days. Such a wonderful story! The trauma and heartache was deeply felt. Very intense, heart stopping, hold your breath type of story. I got teary eyed, mad, and happy throughout the series. I have never been so emotionally affected by any book let alone a series until now. Well done Ivy Smoak you are a phenomenal writer and I am so glad I took a chance picking the Empire High series.

I wanted to wait for this last Empire High book. I even had this elaborate plan of re reading all of them. That was not to be; I opened the first page and devoured this!! The emotional turmoil that Brooklyn and Matt had endured is insurmountable. Heartbreak has many faces and can always be devastating. I love the way Brooklyn never lied to herself or anyone that she loved Miller as fiercely as she did. Matt was her first and the way he loves her still, is a testament that hearts can be mended, if the love is true and pure!

Tanner played such a pivotal role in getting them back together. I just want to see him happy. I would love to know his story. The Society needs to be completed to understand his background (he can’t be a genie).

Every character (after 16 years) has shown so much growth (maybe not Rob; although, his heart is in the right place). I loved the Best Man Competition (the results were exactly as was to be expected. As Mason said best, it’s the best man not best friend. Brooklyn was and always will be the OG untouchable girl. ❤️❤️

Thank you for an amazing ending to a beautiful story that desperately needed to be told and coddled.
