I have enjoyed this series since the first moment we met Heather in Fischer Hall. I looked forward to see how she and Cooper were going to ride of into the sunset at the end of the series. And while I enjoyed this story (because really, you can't have a final book without a death at Death Dorm), I missed some of the characters that we have grown to love. No Jordan, her dad was missing, very little Magda and not enough Gavin. These are characters who have always been a core to each book, so I was a bit bummed that was saw little to none of them.

I wished for more from Cooper. When he was in a scene, he stole it. For a man who was of few words for the better part of 4 books, his mouth was spew ing all sorts of things at Heather..especially his love for her.

It was a fun read, like the other books, but I wanted a bit more for the end. More of Heather and Cooper planning the rest of their lives and maybe a bit more of just what family life is going to be like at the Cartwright's come the holidays.
