Thrive: An Addicted Novel

I was really hoping this would be a continuation after the events of Hothouse Flower but it was just a retelling of the first 2 Calloway Sisters series. It was still good because I love Lily and Lo but it definitely was repetitive and I felt a bit bored. The scenes that weren’t already included in the other 2 books were very cute and I loved seeing those. I didn’t like how it was literally word for word of what we already read just with a different POV. I love Lily and Lo BUT it got boring reading over the same thing again, especially when I was expecting the story to continue. Overall it was okay but it wasn’t necessary book? Like the end scenes imo could have been included in the last book instead. Lily and Lo are seriously adorable though.

My daughter absolutely loved this book

If you thought you couldn't fall even more in love with the Addicted gang, you're wrong.Krista and Becca Ritchie have the ability to evoke so many emotions with their writing. Each character has such a unique and strong persona. They demand your attention and you can't help but fall for them. In the end, you'll be desperately rooting for Lily and Loren to make it to the end.Thrive spans the time following Addicted For Now, through Kiss The Sky and Hothouse Flower (spin-offs) and leading up to Addicted For Now. Told in Lily and Loren's POV, we find out what their thoughts and feelings are on the events that unfold around them. What I loved most about Thrive is the character development of Lily and Lo. Their struggle throughout the novel tore me apart but to see them finish, better and more determined, I felt relief and satisfaction. Relationships grow deeper and more meaningful. We even get a few scenes with the eldest Calloway sister, Poppy and her husband Sam. Even being surrounded by friends and family, you can tell Lily and Lo isolate themselves emotionally and but can only bottle up so many things before you explode.Intense and amusing. I highly recommend reading both spin-offs before reading Thrive to get the full addicting experience. Thrive fills in a lot of gaps that come up in Kiss The Sky and Hothouse Flower, letting us see two sides of each story. Each book shows how powerfully and deeply Lily and Lo's love is, their determination to be better for each other and the strength they gain along the way. I cannot recommend this series enough!

These novels from the addicted series just get better and better! Lily and Lo's characters are just so pure and raw, it's so obvious they are madly in love, and are at that stage of the relationship where the other person is like an extension of their own soul. Every part of their lives revolves around the other, and they care about the other person more than they care about themselves.It was great to see Lily fighting her demons, and so heart-wrenching to witness the unfortunate events involving Lo's. Can't wait for the next one! I would definitely recommend this series, the storyline is so unique and real.

The characters is this series are realistic, strong and amazing. I love the emotions the authors create inside me when I read their work. You need to read this series!
