I didn't want this story to end ... but now it did and I don't know what to do with myself. I am having the worst book hangover, because this is one of the best books (if not the best book) I have ever read. I didn't have sticky notes at hand so I actually put dog-ears in this masterpiece (don't judge), because I couldn't bear to never find this scene or that perfect sentence again. I have literally never done that to a book before (it represents my unconditonal love!) In this finale I was rewarded with all the Simon and Baz scenes I was missing in the second book. They broke my heart so many times and then slowly put it back together again. I mean: "We're not made of pieces that come apart" - it broke me! I can't count how many times I teared up so hard and how many times I had to smile so wide that it hurt after a while. Rainbow Rowell has a way with words and sentences I have never seen (or read acutally) before. I hate to repeat myself, but in this case it seems necessary: this book is a masterpiece. Baz finds himself in this book and if you haven't loved him before (which cannot be the case), you will adore him now. He is perfect and I will make him my bookboyfriend forever - my very very gay bookboyfriend, but I don't care. Baz deserves all the love he can get. Simon is also working on himself in this book and tries to discover what really matters to him and how he is supposed to love without always having to look over is shoulder - always in fear. He is still very broken, but Baz slowly puts him back together. Those were the best scenes! Penny also gets her own story in this finale. She isn't attached to Simon at the hip (can you imagine?), but that doesn't stop her to find an adventure on her own - or actually with this really cute guy Shepperd. She stays strong and brave in this book as well, but discovers another side of herself and becomes more open minded to the world around her. Suffice it to say: I am still loving Penny! Then there is Agathe, who I never really liked in the previous book, but after what she's been trough her story becomes a bit slower, a bit softer. It fits her perfectly and I love where she ends up. I am still not over this book and I might read this series 100 times and still won't be. I want to live in this book! But, as I can't acutally do that, I will settle for giving it to all my friends and recommending it to strangers at the bookstore.

3.5 stars, nearly 4 even. I can only say that the first book in the trilogy was the strongest one for me. This last one was nice, but it was not the same (of course not). I feel like it was only dialogue, which isn't a bad thing, but some lines were a bit too much without any description?<br/>The ending worked well for me, although I feel like Rainbow Rowell could have elaborated on it further.

<b>Pensé que teníamos la clase de amor del que no puedes dejar de lado o alejarte. Un fuego inmortal. El amor del que oyes en historias antiguas. Nadie le contó a Simon las historias antiguas.</b> Es muy neh Digo no es un mal libro, estas tan enfocado en Baz y Simón, Penelope y Shepard que terminas la historia. Pero es un libro muy tranqui. Sin grandes aventuras, sin mucho misterio. Me gustó que profundizarán un poco en cómo se sentía Simon respecto a la magia a ahora que no la posee, como aprender a adaptarse. Creo que no me gustó como encontró la verdad sobre su familia, creo que había mucho más ahí. <b>—Solo debes saber —dice—, que haría cualquier cosa por ti. Que te dejaría hacerme cualquier cosa. No hay nada de ti que no quiera.</b> Me encantó ver como Baz y Simon iban acoplandose el uno al otro en su relación, como aprenden, intentan, preguntan, como se comunican y aun así aman con todas sus fuerzas al otro. En fin Snowbaz en mi corazón forever. <b>—No, lo sé. Sin dudarlo, nunca me voy a arrepentir de besarte. Nunca voy a arrepentirme de ningún momento en el que estuvimos juntos, incluso si me arrepiento de los errores que cometí</b> La historia de Penelope y Shepard me gustó, fue un buen final para ambos. Sigo odiando a Agatha, me parece un personaje innecesario y me aburre.

4.5 stars I liked this one a lot. it made me feel all kinds of different emotions good and bad. the only reason why I'm not giving this book 5 stars is that everything seemed to be resolved very quickly. we get to a problem and 2 chapters later this problem just doesn't exist anymore. i would have liked a little more plot in certain areas.
