THIS BOOK. Wow. Absolutely loved it, definitely lived up to my expectations for the finale of this series. I liked how messy everything was in this installment - Elena's romantic relationships, her relationship with Lila as neighbors, her mother, the Solaras, etc. Having Elena and Lila live together and intertwine their lives again was a perfect way to bring this full circle to the first book, and I loved that whole section. I don't know what else I can say, this series made such an impact on me and I'm so so glad I read it.
