What an amazing end to such a great series. I was really looking forward to Santiago's book because we only see so much in the first book and I was interested in how his story would play out.

THAT PROLOGUE. I was literally ready to quit the book. I truly was because I was so upset by what Lauren Asher did to Santiago. I know characters need to go through things, but did it have to be that?! Poor Santiago. I cannot imagine how that must have felt...

BUT, it turned out to be such a beautiful and heartfelt story, and tragedy that turned into something wonderful. Chloe also had such a terribly dad backstory, but she's easily one of my favorite female characters because she was just so positive and a light in life, despite everything she went through.

To see Santiago go from a moody, brooding recluse who hated life and his circumstances to someone who realized his disability wouldn't hold him back and he could still have a great life was such an amazing journey to have gone on. I loved that he had such a solid support system in Chloe first and foremost, but also Marko, Maya and Noah, and Caleb too. I feel like Santiago and Chloe were destined to be together, and it was fate that they met in the way they did. It was clear they needed each other. There dynamic was wonderful! The love was so tangible and it was such a treat to read about these two broken people coming together and making each other better and sharing their love. Chloe showed Santiago that he was still deserving of love and that his disability didn't change the fact that he was an amazing man, and there's something just so beautiful about his journey to self acceptance with her help and guidance.

Here's where the spoiler comes in... The fact that Noah built a car for Santiago, and never doubted his ability to drive again even after his disability when in book one they hated each other and were competing racers on the same team. Like???
