A review by mells_view
Long Way Down by Krista Ritchie, Becca Ritchie

4.0

Never give up or back down on the things that fill your soul, Calloway. There is no worse life than a hollow one.

Long Way Down is the happily ever after to Ryke and Daisy’s story and the ending to the Addicted/Calloway worlds. I don’t know that I’ve ever been able to describe a story as heart wrenching, heart stopping, and heartwarming all at once, but this one is definitely that. Ryke and Daisy go through many obstacles in their relationship and on their own, but at the end of the day they have each other and the family they’ve created with their siblings/friends.

I think what I love most about LWD is that so many relationships come full circle. From Ryke and Lo’s dynamic as brothers and support systems to the Calloway sisters and how close they have become since healing and learning to communicate. Of course the majority of this story is about the crazy Raisins on their journey to getting their HEA, which happens, but know it takes a lot of tears, pain, and tension to get there mixed in with the love. The glimpse at the entire Addicted/Calloway gang’s future is everything and will get you even more excited for the TRUE finale of the series, the epilogue novel, Some Kind of Perfect (publishes March 5, 2024).

This review is for the Berkley paperback edition, and that means it includes some fun bonus content at the end of the novel. A Halloween bonus scene with moments with all our faves and some fun texts between the crew.
