And this is the ending of the River of Time series, the last we know of Gabi and Lia, Marcello and Luca. There’s so much for my brain to process right now!

For the first part of the book, I had a pretty hard time getting into it but once it got to the time of the plague, it was harder to put down.

The romance went into too much detail for my liking. Don’t get me wrong, I love Marcello and Gabi and LOVE Luca and Lia but I could have done with less detail. In my opinion, I definitely feel like this is for much older teens and new adults.

I feel like the author did a very good job with describing just how terrible this plague was. I really knew nothing about it until this book but she described what it was like so well that it makes me shudder just to think of it! And I can totally relate to Gabi and Lia’s feelings of isolation during quarantine.

The ending was sad and brought me close to tears... yet I’m so glad that it ended on a note of hope!! I was afraid I would be left utterly depressed but instead I was left with a beautiful reminder to live in the moment that we have right now and trust God with the rest, something I definitely needed to hear right now. <3

I’m sad to say goodbye to these characters... but I do feel that I got good closure. So my final thoughts on the series? It was a wild ride, a ride I am glad I took and I won’t easily forget! :)
