...is it okay for me to let all the feels out yet?!
I intended to read this book slowly, savour it, because I knew it was the last of the series. By the end of the second chapter, I had cancelled my plans for the day, told my husband to go enjoy a day out with our son, and proceeded to swing between sobbing my heart out and covering my mouth, horrified, scared to read more but physically unable to look away. Nothing prepared me for this emotional rollercoaster. I had reread the other books in the series over the past couple of weeks, and this...this was so not what I was expecting. "It took me by surprise" would be the understatement of the year.
Emir, oh Emir. Was I the only one who practically swooned off my seat when he came to Sophie while Neil was away? I doubt it. I would've loved to read more about their sexual and romantic endeavours. I had started to wonder if perhaps Sophie and Neil would decide they did, in fact, want a baby and Emir (in my mind) was the perfect choice for the sperm. I mean, what's not to like? And Gena. Mmm. Sorry, what was I saying?
I didn't realise I was nearing the end of the book until, well, it ended. That kind of crushed me. It felt like there should have been more time to readjust to the new Sophie and Neil, IMHO. Just as I started to not glare at my phone whenever he spoke, it was over. That last scene though (and I'm not talking about the birthday party!). That's all I got for now. I feel like I have serious book-drop and some popcorn/movie time is needed
