I want to start by saying I actually liked the first six books of the series very much. I just don't understand what happened in the last book; I don't think I have ever been so let down by what happened. Never in my entire time of reading series books have I seen such a complete break of character for a main one. In books 1-6 the main character of Emily is strong confident sarcastic stubborn a fast rebounder tempermental out-spoken and a prankster. In this book not only does the author not have her as any of those but makes her the complete opposite of each. She is submissive weak quiet and reclusive. I understood reasons based on the plot but the author didn't even attempt to bring the character out of the stump they put them in. It would have taken time in the story and time was given with no turn around. Emily had been through many turmultuous events throughout every single book that should have broken her and never did until the end. I wish I had stopped at six to not see the complete humiliation the author gave. You simply cannot create such a stubborn strong headed character and then not let it end with them bouncing back with the same tenacity as the other books in the series. I am at a loss for what truly happened to the real Emily of this series.… (altro)
