This series ended on such a sad note. I do like Joe- but James Malcom deserved so much. It had be wishing Joe dies in the future and she ends up with Malcom. 😭

James. Freaking. Malcolm. I literally cannot. This was the absolute best ending to the most incredible series ever. I can’t say enough good things about this book and DGS.

Of course I could not put it down! Seriously, from the first book to the very end, I felt it all lived with the characters and got so attached! Such an amazing author, and so creative! Please, you have to give us more rose gardener! Please! The ending was perfect! Honestly, I am so happy so satisfied, but still want more

Such a great but sad ending. I’ve been reading this series for a while now, I’m sad that it’s over. But it was such a beautiful read and great evolution to Rose and her growth. Everyone needs to read this!

A wonderful ending to an awesome series. I actually ugly cried. Well done Ms. Swank. Well done.

Took me awhile to read this, just because I know it’s Rose’s last book. Now that I have read it, I’m not sure why I waited. Absolutely amazing book. Very well written. Ties up all loose ends. Thank you Denise! If you haven’t read this one yet, you really should read it. If you’ve never heard of Rose Gardner. I highly recommend starting at the beginning with Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes. I’ve loved her journey since the beginning.

Wow! Let me first start by saying that Denise Grover Swank is an amazing writer and one of my most favorite authors. Although I haven’t read every book of hers YET, I’ve read a majority of them and plan to read them all. I have loved every series I’ve read so far, but The Rose Gardner Series is definitely my favorite. I will miss this series and all of the characters dearly, but I understand Denise’s reasoning for concluding it. I hope to at least get updates on Rose’s life in the future, but I’ll respect whatever Denise decides to do. The Rose books have brought out so many emotions in me over the years. I’ve laughed, cried, yelled, cheered and so on. I’m sad that there won’t likely be anymore Rose books, but I feel so blessed to have been part of her journey. These characters will forever be in my heart and mind. The nice thing is, when I’m missing them I can always read the series and spin-offs again. I highly recommend this series to anyone who hasn’t read it. Thank you Denise for bringing these characters to life and for sharing them with all of us.

I’m truly broken hearted. I knew James Malcolm was pushing Rose away to protect her. Only I held out hope that they would find their way back to each other and raise Hope in a loving relationship. I just knew in my heart that’s what James was working towards. I can appreciate how the story came full circle with her ending up with Joe, but that part of my soul that knew James was doing everything he could to make himself worthy, held on to the dream they could be together. As it is, I’m only 50 % disappointed in the ending on this beautiful journey. Though I cannot lie the other 50% of me is shattered.

This book made me laugh, and it made me cry. What a beautiful ending to an amazing series.

Beautifully done! I love the Rose Gardner series. It’s always full of twists and turns that make you want to skip ahead to see what happens. Though if you did you’d miss the good stuff that’s between the beginning and the end. I highly recommend this series!
