The best kind of PERFECT that every Addicted fan can ask for.
I'm still trying to piece back my thoughts and emotions after flipping through the last page of this amazing epilogue novel that the Ritchie twins have gifted us. I spent the last two days reuniting with the Addicted universe which involved a whole lot of laughing, internal fangirling and ultimately shedding bittersweet tears.Since I promised this to be a SPOILER-FREE review, I decided to do an unconventional review by conveying my epic love for this series by listing 5 reasons why you should read Some Kind of Perfect, which is an full-length epilogue novel of the Addicted series and essentially, why you need to pick up this series if you haven't.1. If I could summarise this book in only one sentence:It's the best kind of perfect that every Addicted fan could asked for - beautifully wrapped with love, friendship and a lifetime of memories.2. You get 6 x the Addicted goodness!The Ritchie twins couldn't have done a better job with this novel by gifting us with not one, not two but SIX POVs throughout the whole book. That's equivalent to be able to celebrate Christmas 6 times a year! In case you're wondering, getting my hands on a Ritchie twins book is like Santa rewarding me early for being a good girl (Thank you Krista & Becca for being the most awesome book Santa ever!). It's like the ultimate gift packed with so much goodness and love, all in this glorious big package.You want some Lily and Lo love? Check.Or craving for some Rose and Connor banters? Check.Or even maybe Ryke and Daisy wild & crazy moments? Check.Trust me, you DO NOT want to miss the amount of amazing surprises that this book had.3. The unending character developmentEven after 10 books out, I am still constantly amazed by how much these characters continue to grow since the last one. The Addicted series may have started with Lily/Lo being the centerstage couple but there's also Rose/Connor and Ryke/Daisy whose stories entwined and ultimately building this remarkable universe that so many of us have come to love. This epilogue novel bridges the 10 years gap that can be seen from the ending of Long Way Down and we get to witness the 6 of them go through parenthood within those years.What I truly love about this series that sets apart from tons of NA series out there is how the Ritchie twins incorporates these teenage real-life struggles (addiction, sexuality, PTSD etc.) in their stories and you can just feel the raw emotions that flows through these pages as you genuinely feel for these characters. Even with the happily ever afters, it doesn't mean that the struggles have ended or simply disappeared. It will always be an ongoing battle and I respect that the twins didn't try to downplay that in the slightest even in this final book. You could still clearly see the strength and the resilience of these characters, how much they've grown since the beginning and now emulating the life lessons they've picked up for their kids.4. The sisterhood, bromance and unbreakable friendshipAside from the epic romance, it's also the incredible dynamic of all 6 of these characters that truly holds the major crux of this series. The Calloway sisters are fierce and protective of each other. The bromance between Lo/Ryke/Connor as they have each others' backs in all situations. The friendships that only continues to grow stronger in every step of the way. The sacrifices that they are ready to make to protect the people they love. I can never get enough of the Rose/Lo insults-filled banters or the Connor/Lo affectionate 'darling' banters. Or how Rose is always readily to assault and defend her sisters when they're in danger.5. This series is earth-shattering brilliant in ways that no amount of words and reasons can do it justice.Everytime I try to write a review of the Addicted series, I feel like I can never do enough justice to this series and how much it has truly impacted me since I first picked it up. I'm terrible with verbalising my feelings and all I can think of everytime I finished a book in this series is just shouting from the rooftops on how gloriously incredible the writing is and to be immersed in this amazing Addicted universe that has come to existence!These characters are more than just fiction to me, most days they feel like real-life friends I've come to know and adore. Reading these books has brought me on an amazing journey of ups and downs, laughters and tears. I've learnt that it isn't reaching the finish line that matters the most but it's the journey that counts.The Ritchie twins are true wizards of words and every single word they have written, may it be one million words since the start - I've devoured every single one of them. I've laughed with each character, I've cried for each of them and my heart soared with joy to see them overcome their struggles.IN SUMMARY:READ THIS SERIES, I promise you won't regret it. This is a 6-stars series for me and it's my super highly recommended New Adult series. There is nothing that comes close to how much I adore this series. It encompasses everything that I feel a NA series should strive for - from the character development to the writing and balancing all the key elements in a read. The first book in the series is FREE right now on Amazon, so what are you waiting for?!It feels hard to say goodbye to all of my favorite characters after this one but I know this is hardly the end. It's just the beginning of a new era as the second generation of the Addicted kids will get their spinoff series soon. Some Kind of Perfect has provided some amazing groundwork for the new series to follow and I am positively excited to read more of them!

a bittersweet end to a FANTASTIC series
♡ where do i start? this series healed my heart in ways i did not truly imagine it could. i usually gravitate to the “found family” trope, but this series commits and displays this trope above and beyond. it’s such a beautiful representation of different individuals with vastly different personalities needing & fully loving each other, no matter what.♡ lily and lo: these two have been through so so much and reading their story has been such a magical and empowering experience. they started as two addicts that relied on each other since childhood, to two love birds that started a family despite their past. i could say a million wonderful things about this couple but you truly don’t know until you read their whole story & see their growth. these two are why people call soulmates.. “soul” mates. 🥹🫶🏻♡ connor and rose: this couple. it’s truly remarkable how krista and becca wrote such a complex and compelling couple who mentally compliment each other… so perfectly!! these two make my heart throb, they have overcome so much mentally with each other. connor learned how to love with her & rose learned to overcome her past views & pretenses on love. every time i read their chapters, i felt a different type of connection to these two because of how well they are written for each other.🫶🏻♡ ryke and daisy: this story was so beautiful, as well. daisy struggled with so much pain & emotions in silence her whole life, but ryke came in and showed her what life truly means. their relationship displays how important it is to keep going no matter how dark life can get. ryke and daisy are destined to be together, they truly represent each other so well. 😭♡ overall, i will not ever truly recover from this beautiful series. 🩷

Ich liebe diese Reihe so sehr!
Mit Some Kind of Perfect haben die Zwillinge einen perfekten Abschluss der Reihe gefunden. Die Entwicklung der Figuren ist einfach phänomenal und ich bin sehr traurig über das Ende. Die Cobalts, Meadows und Hales sind mir extrem ans Herz gewachsen und ich freue mich sehr über das Spin Off in Form der Like Us Reihe.Das Buch war ein absolutes Lesevergnügen, da nochmal alle Lücken gefüllt wurden und jede Figur ihr Ende erhalten hat.

An amazing ending to an incredible series!
I have to start with the size of this book, because wow is it mega. I bought my copy as an ebook, but I imagine anyone with a physical copy having very sore arms! It seems strange for a contemporary book to be this big, this page amount is usually reserved for fantasy/sci-fi type books, but it worked really well and at no point did I feel like it was too much and that I just wanted it to end. It was the perfect amount of pages to end this story."We speak of moving mountains, but sometimes people can completely rotate the world, just so someone else can land upright on their feet."As I mentioned above the book takes place over ten years and most years will have a chapter from each characters POV. I will admit that I got a little bit lost at times about what month and year I was up to, as all we get is a little title at the beginning of each chapter like "Rose: October 2024" and different characters POV could be from different months. So we could have a chapter from Lo in January 2019 followed by a chapter from Lily in September 2019 and a whole different story would be happening."Look how far we’ve come. Look at us now. Ache for ache. Smile for smile. I only ever wanted to live this life with her"The characters were just as perfect as they have always been. Lily, Lo, Rose, Conner, Daisy and Ryke. I love this group of characters, I love their friendships, relationships, sister love, brotherly love and bromances. I love that Becca and Krista Ritchie managed to fit in a unique relationship between each of these characters without it feeling like too much."I never looked back in that way before, but for the very first time, I did. I looked back, and I only looked back at her."We got to meet some of the groups kids already in previous books but in this one we get them all, and not just as babies anymore, some of them we get as teenagers. I love seeing each of the different parenting styles for each of the couples. I love how it's totally acceptable to the kids that Ryke swears but is Lo does then he has to put a dollar in the swear jar. I love the family dynamics in that the kids feel more like brothers and sisters than cousins and all of the adults care for each others kids as if they were their own. It's just like one BIG family."Our bad days have the ability to become better. It may be a horrible month. A horrible year. But there will be good days, good moments, great seconds."The Addicted series was more than just a series of books, it was an adventure. An unforgettable journey of friendship and family, love and sacrifice. A journey that took our characters from rock bottom to happily ever after. When I picked up the first book I has no idea what to expect and I can't lie, I thought I was going to hate it. But from that very first book I found myself in love with it all, the characters, the story, the authors and there was no way I could have stopped reading this series part way through, I was in it for the long haul!I've stuck with this series through 10 whole books and I can't believe it's reached the end. Becca and Krista Ritchie give us a beautiful gift in this final book of letting us see the happily ever afters finally taking place and it is the perfect conclusion to this epic saga. I couldn't have asked for anything better, or more beautiful or more full of love than the ending they gave us."And then we end - we end where we started. Just us. All six of us."
