This is a true epilogue novel and can't be read without reading the prior books in the series. There isn't really a central plot, this is more of a series of vignettes that show the core six growing older, living their lives, and becoming parents. It's also the longest book in the series and I still never wanted it to end because I don't want to ever let go of these characters.

P.S. The new Berkley bonus scenes are absolutely perfect and everything I could have asked for. We get one from each sister's POV and get to see the core six being parents in especially memorable ways. Thanks to Berkley and Netgalley for my copy to review!

This book hooked me in from the first chapter. I loved the character development and how the story progressed.

There’s something I know about myself and it’s that without fail I always need closure. That’s why I always need an epilogue and this is the perfect epilogue to a great series.

I love a good epilogue that lets the reader know just what happened to the characters the author made us fall in love with, especially with a long ten-book series. Some Kind of Perfect really does an amazing job of reminding this reader why I just really liked these unique characters and their world.

Reading ten books is an investment but it's an easy one to make when the stories are intriguing and the characters, compelling and sometimes frustrating, but they are characters a reader won't forget. From the first pages of the Addicted series and Lily and Lo, I've been addicted to them and the Calloway Sisters as well. This epilogue novel was absolutely terrific.

Some Kind of Perfect was the perfect way to end the series. It wraps this series up in a bow and doesn't disappoint.

ok - so after starting this, I realized it was the last book in a series that I have not read (not sure why I thought it was a standalone).

But I continued on to see if I could read this without reading the previous books. In a sense, yes, I could. Do I recommend it, absolutely not. You definitely need to read the previous books to truly value this one.

I will just leave my review at that. This was definitely a faux-paus on my part and will do my best to rectify by reading the other books and then re-reading this one.

Some Kind of Perfect by Krista Ritchie and Becca Ritchie is a captivating novel that has left me in awe. After finishing the last page, I find myself still trying to gather my thoughts and emotions. Over the past two days, I have immersed myself in the Addicted universe, experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions that ranged from laughter to internal fangirling, culminating in bittersweet tears. The Ritchie twins have truly gifted us with a remarkable conclusion to this series.

“These years have been epic, and not because it was easy—because it wasn’t always—but because you and me, we flew.”

Some Kind of Perfect is an epilogue novel that gives a heavy glimpse at the futures of our favorites Addicted series couples and the next generation. I absolutely adored getting to spend time with every single couple. LiLo, Coballoway, and Raisy come to life through each other’s perspectives. I think my favorite part of this book is that we truly get everyone’s POV. My favorite will always be how Lily and Loren see the world.

Absolutely beautiful. Wonderful writing as usual, and a great read. This was a re-read of the book, but it’s the Berkley edition which means it included some epic bonus content towards the end.

“And then we end—we end where we started. Just us. All six of us.”

^^ Which I feel is the perfect quote considering the three bonus scenes are just so full circle to each Calloway sister and the family they’ve found and built together. Such a bittersweet feeling to be sad that it's over but so happy I got to spend more time with some of my favorite fictional characters. Lots of tears. Lots of smiles. I will never forget these characters. Ever.

so INTENSELY perfect!!! never in my life do i want to say goodbye to the core six but if there is any way to do it, it'd be this way!! it was so beautiful watching all of them become parents, and I'm a connor cobalt stan before I'm even a human, but i enjoyed Lo's story line best in all of this! he's grown SO much from his addiction and he's such an AMAZING father and it was such a stark contrast from the first book. i hope the LIKE US series gets the berkley treatment because the core six kids deserve their moment in the spotlight, too!

I have loved the Addicted Series since it was indie-published in 2016. I've been following the authors on socials, listened to their podcasts on their Patreon, and had the opportunity to meet them twice. They are two of the sweetest people you will ever meet and they deserve everything they have achieved and more.

Some Kind of Perfect is a fantastic book because it is basically one giant epilogue in book form. Each chapter is a treat for Addicted fans and if I could beg them to write more snippets I would. What I wouldn't give for more chapters about Rose and Connor and their high school/ college days.

I cannot thank these authors enough for creating these characters and bringing this world into mine.

Let them write a million more books because I will buy them!!

The perfect epilogue and end to this series. I feel like I’ve grown up with these characters and it has meant so much to see one last glimpse of them living their lives.

This was everything I wanted for these characters and more. All the stars. All the love for these books.

This was such an exciting and loving epilogue book! I wish we could always to in this world. Really enjoyed getting to spend more time with the Core six. This gave the perfect ending to an incredible series. I will be reading more from the authors going forward!

Some Kind of Perfect was the perfect epilogue to the entire Addicted/Calloway Sisters series. It gave the reader a look at every couple from the entire series and what their lives were like the ten years after Long Way Down ends. (The authors filled in some gaps from the glimpse Ryke gave us at the end of that book.) It was fun to see the evolution and maturation of all of my favorite characters.

My favorite thing about Some Kind of Perfect was that it was a happier, less angsty book than the rest of the series. This story felt like a happily ever after, and I loved that. Don’t get me wrong, there were still many different and sometimes tough situations for the characters to go through. They just didn’t put me on edge as much. Some Kind of Perfect was an amazing finish to this wonderful series.

As for the additional bonus content in this book... There is a playlist. I don't really have any comments on that because I didn't know most of the songs. There were also a few fun bonus scenes in the future. One was Moffy's first day of high school from Lily's POV. I could relate to how tense it made Lily and her thoughts on it. It was a sweet chapter. The next bonus scene was about the Cobalts and curfews. I loved this look at Connor and Rose parenting. The final bonus chapter is the Meadows family at the lake house, and it was eventful. Ryke was still standing up for his wife and family. It was fitting to have a bonus scene for each family to end the series. 

If you’re a new adult romance fan, this series is not one to miss. The writing, characters, and plots are all amazing. It’s definitely worth the time it takes to read the entire ten books. I highly suggest binge reading it. 😉 I loved it and I think you will, too!

i’ve said it multiple times and i will continue to say it, this series is everything to me. i love these couples with my whole heart and soul. i was hesitate to even read this book because in my head i thought “if i read the last book it is over forever” and while that may technically be true and ill never get to experience the “first time reading” feelings this series brought i KNOW this book will be a go-to comfort read. getting a book that is like an extended epilogue and getting to just hangout with all of my fav couples all together was one of the best reading experiences. getting to just bask in all of their growth and witness some of my fav moments between this core group was so dang special. can’t recommend this series enough. see you soon, lily & lo, rose & connor, and daisy & ryke!!!

What a fun and heartwarming epilogue novel!

While I don't think this was a necessary addition to the series, I did really enjoy getting to spend more time with the Core Six. If you don't want to read an epilogue novel, you would be find with the closure and answers you receive from the Long Way Down epilogue (which would have been satisfactory to me, even as someone who has really enjoyed this series).

Thank you for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!

This epilogue book was everything! ❤️ I absolutely loved diving back into this world and reading about the Core Six. This family and how close they are just make me so happy and it’s beautiful to see how far these characters have come from the beginning.🥹🥹

✨And then we end—we end where we started. Just us. All six of us.✨

I laughed and cried while reading this book and I’ll definitely be reading the next gen series. Krista and Becca Ritchie know how to write beautiful stories where characters are flawed and deal with real life struggles.

Also loved the added bonus scenes at the end! I’ll never get tired of reading about these characters. 🥰

✨“Run with me, Calloway?”

“You think you can keep up with me?”

“To the ends of the earth, sweetheart.”✨

One thing about me is that the Addicted/Calloway Universe is my favorite of all time. The Core Six have a portion of my heart to themselves. This book perfectly wraps up their story and leaves everything on such a positive note, which is what they deserve.

This book is absolutely incredible!! It’s the prefect way to wrap up the world’s best series. It took me six weeks to read because I didn’t want to say goodbye to these characters. I need all series to have entire epilogue books

Some Kind of Perfect is hands down the best way to wrap up a series. I absolutely loved seeing all of my favorite characters in one book for one last time. Don’t get me wrong I absolutely did cry while reading this. many times. but it’s SO worth it!
